Ingletwist is the name I gave to nonense texts based on the sounds of the English language, in analogy to Onderlands (language of the Underlands), my invented parallel language to Dutch.
This is a piece composed from results of a workshop I did in December, 2014 with students of the University of Maine, Farmington, and a few from Umaine, Orono.
Faculty members Gustavo and Gaelyn Aguilar helped facilitate this and participated as well.
Students wrote short sound poems using a small number of letters (such as the letters of their first name or their hometown), to be performed as solos or in smaller or larger groups. In addition to that there were improvisations in various different structures.
At a few points computer voices (speaking Ingletwist as well) and some instrumental sounds were added.
Based on recordings made December 5, 2014 at IMRC of the University of Maine, Orono, by Duane Shimmel. A version in 5.1 surround sound was mixed as well, but never released.
