Hi, I'm going to do a project of language design for the Sound Design course of of my Art School. *Language Design* is the creation of an artificial language like it happens, for example, for the aliens of some sc-fi movies. (Famous examples are the aliens in District 9 and Chewbecca in Star Wars (of course ;)). It is also called "conlang" (constructed language). The final work should be some kind of a "speaking installation", where the speech generated is an artificial language interacting with the audience.
My plans are to collect a database of sounds/phonems from human speeches of different languages, in addiction to synthetic sounds, and find a way to re-arrange them on the fly when triggered by an interaction with the audience, in order to create "sentences".
*Besides the technical sides, my main focus now is to know examples of artificial language design in Sound Art or Arts in general.*
No videogames or films involved ;)
Any help or suggestion is much appreciated!!
