TALK WITHOUT WORDS (2)




  • throat sounds 
  • sound poetry
  • scat singing
  • pseudo language 
  • idioglossia
  • speaking in tongues
  • word -salad
  • coherent speech 





Yamatsuka Eye and hanatarash



scat al jarreau


idioglossia, twin talk
Probably everybody has seen this but it's an example that shows the continuum in action in that they imitate conversation before they know the words.

One question about the continuum concept  that comes to mind is when one looks at artists that produce  throatsounds like Eye,(or like asemic scribbles)  is wether they are tapping into a state that they acquired as a kid,
 or did they learn a new state by  for instance looking and imitating kids or animals.
In the latter case shouldn't they be positioned after coherent speech ?
If they are put before coherent speech it implies idealizing an earlier state of development, or a rejection of coherent language, instead of an addition  to coherent language.
Maybe insert a 'post linguistic grunt' position.

Another one is the position of word-salad.
Put after pseudo language the acquired syntax has suddenly disappeard,
but positioned before pseudo language it's the vocabulary that disappears in the next step.




Francis E Dec. somewhere between wordsalad and coherent speech.

TALK WITHOUT WORDS (1)


-Contiguous to the asemic continuum, (and hopefully not too far off the asemic grid)

a  continuum of  asemic speech. 'talk without words'

(listening to michael jacobson's mynd eraser)

some offhand examples






Ziggy Atem.
I first saw this about 10 years ago on a japanese VHS. (AUGEN)
The show included a transvestite dancer dancing dramatically around Ziggy Atem who was making some kind of proclamation in his own language. Very alien and obscure.




(throat sounds) id M Theft Able (Portland U.S.)
Around since late 90's, I have some his earlier stuff, very personal intimate sounds and dadaistic utterances.






Jaap Blonk (sound poetry, pseudo language and throat sounds)
mindboggling voice acrobatics, lots of great stuff on youtube.





Kurt Schwitters
The Ursonate, sound poetry from 1922





Speaking in tongues, great performance by a young christian dadaist
