about

About "Ingletwist Fragments"

Just like I have a parallel language to that of the
Netherlands, the so-called 'Onderlands', I have one for
English: 'Ingletwist'. It's a nonsense language, it has no
meaning, just associations here and there.
For each of the 9 tracks of this album I made a text in the
following manner. I did a gibberish improvisation, focusing
on the 3 sounds that are in the title of the track: one vowel
or diphtong and two consonants sounds. For instance, for
"Ahtsh" it was 'ah', 't' and 'sh', and 'i', 'ng' and 'z' became
"Eyengz".
While doing this, I fed my efforts into the dictation facility
of my computer, and watched with glee how it desperately
worked on making English words out of them. I saved the
texts I got in this way, and then mildly scrambled them
into Ingletwist. These results were used for the vocals I
recorded, treated in a very loose way, allowing myself
room for improvisation again.
I also recorded the texts as spoken by different computer
voices, and in each track one of them makes a short
appearance.
For the electronics I used analog equipment exclusively.
There's a warmth and imperfection there that I like very
much, and often I hear voices in these sounds where
there's actually nothing vocal at all.
I also made an image for each track, where you can
sample the different flavours of the 9 "Ingletwist
Fragments".
