Aphex Twin phoenetic

[Guest bbydhyonchord]

init.

when reeling off favourite tracks, realised some aphex twin track names (especially drukqs) are horrilbly difficult to say. it made me think of some of the weird ways some people must pronounce them. i have my own ways but i'm sure yours differ...

 

phoenetical pronunciations of the following tracks, if you would:

-jynweythek ylow

-btoum-roumada

-kladfvgbung micshk

-omgyjya switch7

-strotha tynhe

-bbydhyonchord

-petiatil cx hdtui

-aussois

-hy a scullyas lyf a dhagrow

-ageispolis

-heliosphan

 

thanks yous

[Joyrex]

Well, since they are mostly in Kernewek, you'd have to be able to speak that in order to properly pronounce them, right?

[m.leafeater.dl]

Kernewek

 

 

what is that?

to pronounce them properly would not answer my question.

my upcoming album is called kwetyguhdfuhdfg kwergjwkwejwkkwerjgkwejekgrjkegrjsdiahfadydgf

 

it's spoken in the ancient language of gygbdytafxxfoxpobbabba, and cannot be pronounced properly without standing in the middle of a pentagram

not that I know of. But a few of the track titles were translated around the release of Drukqs by someone's (Centurix?) relatives. Cant remember the full list but I remember that:

 

Jynweythek Ylow = Electronic Machine Music

Vordhosbn = Sailboat/Noisy Boat

Strotha Tynhe = Hold Tightly

hy a Scullyas lyf a dhagrow = She Spilled My Pint
