a buildthis production
a theatrical re-enactment, cast and performed live in your browser
Fourteen posts from norvidstudies.substack.com's anthology
of internet accounts each riffing on the same refrain — "the story goes like this:" — staged here as a
little play. Every cast member speaks in a distinct synthesized voice (pitch and rate derived from their
own handle, so the assignment is stable but not hand-picked). No ffmpeg ran anywhere and no Workers AI
neuron was spent — this is the browser's own speechSynthesis, staged and captioned. Asked
for by @words.bsky.social,
replying to @norvid-studies.bsky.social's
post of the link.
Uses your browser's tab-capture — when the show starts you'll be asked to share this tab with "share tab audio" checked. Works best in Chrome/Edge on desktop; if your browser can't do it, playback still works, it just won't save a file.
