TALK WITHOUT WORDS (4)


throat sounds -Tanya Tagaq 
another great contrast between primitive sounds and expert skills.

I think the continuum set-up was still inconsistent,
 for instance if it is going to represent 'talk without words' all the words have to go;


throat sounds vocal dynamics sound mimicry speech mimicry
gargling
...
sound poetry
...
beatbox
....
idioglossia
...

there is now halfway a shift from internal  to external (mimicry).




human beatbox  -Doug E Fresh,

(I think a lot more can be said and done about the topic and there are probably lots more good examples but I'll leave it here, feel free to contribute)

TALK WITHOUT WORDS (3)



  • reflexes
  • babbling
  • coherent speech
  • primal scream
  • throat sounds 
  • word -salad
  • speaking in tongues 
  • idioglossia 
  • pseudo language  
  • scat singing
  • sound poetry
I have now placed  most of the continuum after coherent speech because I think that most examples do not represent language acquisition but language control.
I thought this time I'd start with a primal scream right after coherent speech, like a teenage angst; (speaking the language perfectly but only technical, so the expressive part is like an amorph emotional burp).
 The continuum now represents the increase of voluntary control.
I've positioned word salad earlier than before because it represents also a lack of control, only not the emotional/ intuitive but the technical/ executive.





 Mike Patton (moonchild)
the 'primal sceaming' in combination with the music stand is interestingly strange.
 I think because it hints at the difference between how musicians and nonmusicians express emotions in music.
Since 'split-brain patients' roughly showed the right side of the brain to be holistic and intuitive and the left analytic or logical it would be reasonable to assume that skilled musicians show greater activity in the right brain.
But the opposite is true. " Melodies are composed of an ordered series of pitches, and hence should be processed by the left hemisphere rather than the right"
