Cvellish: Das Font ist Borne!

Below is the conveniently 26-phonetic character set I created for my fake language which is currently being called "Cvellish." There are a few sounds or letters from english I avoid. For instance there is no i because what I hear is the intersection of ah and ee. so there are 6 "vowels" representing all the open mouth sounds one can make with no aspiration. I saw no use for a K, S AND C, when I could just cut the C and have all the same sounds. I cut X, surmising one could just put the K and S sounds together to make the same sound. Instead I added a symbol for SH and CH as well as those not used so often in English, like  ZS and TSYuh, which is really just a more aspirated, staccato version of TH.

Improv Ensemble: Live Painting 1

Today in Improv Ensemble with John Ritz, I drew in Photoshop to the music the rest of the musicians (and I am allowed to say that because they call me a musician! <3 <3 <3) improvised some various collaborations. I keep learning new words when I hang out with them... like ostinato, which I'd heard before but never really understood. Delightful. At any rate, this is the piece that was the result of the A/V collaborative process.

 

I'm not saying I think it's stellar, but it did happen in real time to music, and in front of a small audience as well.

Poltergeist: A Haiku

Don't trust the bed sheets.
Don't sleep with your legs apart.
Don't expect you're safe.

Dopamine: A Haiku

Squabbles with lovers
And cocaine, were never worth
The sex they provoked
