Just like I have a parallel language to that of the Netherlands, the so-called 'Onderlands', I have one for English: 'Ingletwist'. It's a nonsense language, it has no meaning, just associations here and there.

For each of the 9 tracks of this album I made a text in the following manner. I did a gibberish improvisation, focusing on the 3 sounds that are in the title of the track: one vowel or diphtong and two consonants sounds. For instance, for "Ahtsh" it was 'ah', 't' and 'sh', and 'i', 'ng' and 'z' became "Eyengz".

While doing this, I fed my efforts into the dictation facility of my computer, and watched with glee how it desperately worked on making English words out of them. I saved the texts I got in this way, and then mildly scrambled them into Ingletwist. These results were used for the vocals I recorded, treated in a very loose way, allowing myself room for improvisation again.

I also recorded the texts as spoken by different computer voices, and in each track one of them makes a short appearance. For the electronics I used analog equipment exclusively. There's a warmth and imperfection there that I like very much, and often I hear voices in these sounds where there's actually nothing vocal at all.

I also made an image for each track, where you can sample the different flavours of the 9 "Ingletwist Fragments".
