This project will be a song made entirely of speech and UI sounds from Skype, of which there are many. The song will be presented in a way similar to The Chainsmokers' #Selfie, with spoken lyrics that will comment on people who rely too much on internet lives in the way that #Selfie comments on shallow girls. The speech will be set to the musical soundtrack made of Skype sounds.

So much of our everyday life is spent on the internet and its interesting to see the impact of that. Since you're working primarily with a technology made specifically to facilitate communication between people, I would suggest exploring the difference between communication over skype and communication face to face.
I think that using sound effects to create music is a clever idea. Are you going to use Skype sounds for the lyrics too? If so, I worry that it may be hard to understand due to inconsistent tones between voice clips.
@Kai Goodness, no! I'm not that ambitious. Lyrics will be by actual humans. I'm also going to focus a lot on people with accents, since Skype social lives are often spent with more diverse groups in terms of where people live.
