Sound atoms

So, according to Wunderground, March will in fact be going out like a lamb. It’s just waiting until the last minute to put its lamb suit on. And if I’m waiting until the last minute to have my car inspected (we have to do this once a year in New York state), then it would be hypocritical for me to demand anything else.
I’m working out an idea for a new coding project. It’s not in code language yet. It’s not even in pseudo-code. It’s in English, but not “blogosphere friendly English”, so I’m not going to alienate all y’all by posting said brainstorm here. Essentially it’s a kind of analysis and resynthesis for creatively simulating and manipulating voice-like sounds, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while now. I’m basing it around something I call “sound atoms”.
Why on earth we as humans feel the need to simulate voices, when we actually have voices, I couldn’t tell ya. But it should be interesting.
