Purpose of the residency
I am considering creating a synthetic language between Japanese and Finnish using their phonetic similarities (for example, there are many same-sound words like "kani," "kissa," and "inari," etc. between Japanese and Finnish, and like Japanese, Finnish distinguishes between long and short vowels and consonants) and producing its song. There is a close relationship between song and language, and phonological and linguistic structures influence the structure of songs. The creation of a new synthetic language will also lead to the invention of new song forms. Finally, Artificial voices and actual singers will sing these new songs.
Plan during the residency
- Research Finnish linguistic things at Oodi.
- Contact The Finnish Folk Music Institute to research Finnish folk songs.
- Analyze collected Finnish and Japanese folk songs.
- Create a program to automatically generate melodies.
- Arrange for Finnish and Japanese singers to sing the songs.
