Signing Alphabet Signing Alphabet is a film by animator Steve Finkin that features Western classical music for voice and electronics by Joan La Barbara . An image of an animated hand morphs into the letters of the alphabet and vice versa , and its colors change into inhuman flesh tones . The soundtrack consists of a tapestry of sound made entirely of La Barbara ’ s voice using the sound of each letter , processed and manipulated electronically , that makes unnatural timbres . Sometimes the results are pleasing , and sometimes there are harsh dissonances . As the letter or American Sign Language gesture for the letter appears , each letter can be heard clearly . There is another segment by Finkin that has a similar look , in which the ASL gesture for " I love you " is explained , with music by a different composer . Yet another segment describes the ASL gestures for day , morning , noon , and night . Trivia . _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _
