What a great read and a fantastic thing to ponder. Most artists will tell you that they are at their best when they are able to suspend conscience thought and work from a "zen" like place. Having someone else in the room, sneezing, coughing, crying.. reacting would be a challenge. They would inevitably have an impact on the process. They are essentially collaborators, whether on a subconscious level or in Dostoevsky's case literally.
I can see how Dostoevsky would end up marrying her. It would be a pretty intimate thing to collaborate like that. Here's one of the Romney paintings of Milton dictating to his daughters. They don't look like they're having too much fun, do they? I use the "voice memo" app on my iPhone all the time to capture lyrics or melodies that are floating around in my head. I also use it to capture sounds that I find interesting when I'm out and about. I'll often use these sounds in music recordings. That's the extent of my dictation. cW, I think you should read this. It occurs to me that the project you are working on is more like dictation of a letter than it is a voice memo. Great find caio.
