It's not just Abstractcats, somebody should kick Tattie outta here as well...

Hey, thanks! That boosts my confidence a little bit

I should really live in the US for a while, though... I think that's the only way not to lose what little is left of my English. Besides, that's a loose end in my life, as I was supposed to move to the USA over ten years ago, but eventually it didn't happen. I think I owe it to myself, though, for all the effort I put into learning the language... It's almost a surreal situation - sometimes I feel as if I had invented this language that nobody really speaks in the whole world

The last time I could talk with an American was last summer, and that was after something like six years since the time before. Frustrating. I want six months in the States at least...

That's a pretty good description yes

One of my favorite languages, though. Have you ever heard any song in Gaelic? Absolute, pure beauty!

Any other place where we can listen to something?

Xenobioz, mrblitz000, it's amazing that you can even approach oriental languages at all

I've managed to learn a few katakana symbols (Japanese) and a handful of words and just doing that drove me up the wall!

That's what all Italians say - guess which language they suggest it should be?

I was kind of hoping that'd be "to put an end to all wars"

I agree, it's beautiful to look at! I remember two or three guys who used to be on the bus I travelled on years ago, they were just extraordinary! I really enjoyed looking at them (trying not to stare at them impolitely, though, which wasn't easy - I was so fascinated that I just got lost into watching!).
However, it's not a "united" language, as there's a sign language for every "spoken" language, so it's really the same thing

Too bad...

Agree. One of my all time fav tunes is in Gaelic:

Nah that would never get you the peace prize. Too old-fashioned. You must use doublethink in today's world. War is good. War is peace. Defense is offense. See how it works?

Yes bizarre but that's what I want to change, as with oral languages. For unification.

That's exactly the track I was going to give as an example!!! I didn't because the last time I checked it wasn't on youtube... One of the most beautiful tracks ever!!

Good luck with trying to get people to live together...

Yeah, I forget about those goofy files they have on that site so try this
http://www.ilike.com/artist/Swans/album ... f+Infinity

and

http://www.last.fm/music/Swans/The+Burning+World

I've had an email from Micheal Gira's record company site saying that he is "re activating" Swan and I remember from there tour info back in the late 90's that they did play some show in Italy so if you end up like there music you should watch for them in the coming years.I know there will be an album out some time this year.

I do like some Clannad. I think they have a sister who sings and plays synths and piano a little, but I don't think she ever got far in the music world

Anyway, back on topic ... still waiting to hear from Kaiyoti re prize, and mac, while I'm here, whatever kaiyoti chooses, you will be offered Supercore ... so if you want to accept that here and now, then just say so and contact karmacomposer

Just finished the last recording sesh for the film soundtrack, so gonna pack away my toys and see if I can get the rest of the presets done on the participants prize. links will be posted tomorrow at the latest

... Oh, off topic again ... inspired by that 'weirdest music' thread ,,, and wowed by the 'daxophone' ... I've been going around the house with a violin bow over the past couple of days and bowing things!! ... wine glasses, empty food cans, furniture .... with mixed results!! .. but recorded some bowed saucepan lids on the soundtrack!! ... very nice!

.... Do i feel a one-bow-challenge coming on?? ...

Swans sound nice

Not entirely my cup of tea (mainly because of the voice, I think), but the music has got a prog-rockish feel that makes it nicely trippy

Runrig - didn't know them - cool

There's better than Clannad, agreed, but Harry's Game is still one of the most beautiful tracks ever

I must say, however, that I generally prefer a more traditional sound, when it comes to Celtic music. (funny, I've been trying to find something by any of the many Italian Celtic music bands, but I've found nothing either on youtube or anyplace else... if I find something, I'll link it)

Now you went and ruined it..

Nah, grats on finishing the soundtrack recordings, and about Runrig they are not bad at all. Scots and Irish always seem to have strong melodies which appeal to me.

But I've come to the point now where I actually prefer not to listen and even understand lyrics anymore as most are not very good so songs in a foreign languages are all good, except some languages that just doesn't fit so well for singing (yes Finnish is one..

(but spoken Finnish is way cool)

Makes me pretty damn ashamed of myself - having come in only 9th and all - but I'd get it with a big thanks... except that I can't find any info about it to help me understand if it'll work on my less-than-superpowerful system and what it is exactly...

Does anybody know where I can find any info (besides the one thread I found on KVR), perhaps?

Sorry, but that will have to wait till we're finished with the One-Eggslicer-Challenge
