This video is a record of cycling through the Kazak alphabet,
which happened around the time my son took me for a test drive down to the
creek in his paddock basher. The bumpy ride sparked the link to Moon
Patrol.
This exercise was a two-fold attempt: to familiarise myself
with the alphabet and to sort the sounds according to the alphapolitical
way I was brainwashed with. It wasn't easy to sort, and I remember a
mistake during my first attempt to map the alphabet. It was tricky to
calibrate the unknown sounds I couldn't hear clearly because the original
speaker wasn't articulate, and I didn't have other samples to
cross-reference with. I needed to hear the difficult letters in words;
some sounds were too hard to pick up in isolation. I marked them with a
wheelchair motif, signalling they needed to go into quarantine for further
review.
Overall, I was pleased with the result - which was a
repetitive soundtrack to use as an awareness exercise, just by listening
to the shape of the cadence and tones. This alphabet wasn't something that
could be easily absorbed. I really needed a lot of time to sit with the
sounds, quick-scan the shapes of the letters, and nothing more. It became
a record of what I knew and what was new.
It would've been fun

to turn this into a 3D version of the C64 platform. The {abojuice
phenomenon was still strong during the making of it.
An uneventful but memorable off-road 4WD cruise, down
to the wombat creek for a picnic, with portable creme caramels. Clearly
disabled with many letters but docked them with a wheelchair. I need to
hear more samples from others - to work out the problems with
articulation, which is amplified by people speaking with different
accents.
