mənipyəlātəd melədēz is something I started back in March that involved breaking a song lyric down into the phonetic sounds
of the words, and then making new, phonetic phrases. I wrote out the
phrases with the phonetic/ grammatical symbols and also recorded myself speaking the phonetic sounds out loud. I was really into the resulting weird, mechanical vocals, which carry the anagram theme of reducing the phrase down to its most elemental level and
re-constructing from that point.
So, I recorded this video, wherein I rearrange scrabble-looking tiles upon which I've written the phonetic symbols used in the lyric "Why is everything a chore?/ I'm too young to be defeated" from Surfer Blood's "Twin Peaks" into new, corresponding phrases, vocalizing the sounds as I go.
