#hwa4 #wherethingsslip "ontological slippage" is when a norm is viewed outside of its norm, for example, when someone who thinks in black and white looks at a piece of media and understands a new area of grey. such as when chat gpt doesn't understand its prompt

That’s literally what I said in the beginning, translation is a medium! #hwa4

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes i was no longer able to try to listen and understand at the same time because i was distracted by the different sound/instrument in the background that i wasn't expecting. i would like to know if that is an expectation of the SME, to incorporate a sound that distracts.

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes the multiple angles of language and sound, but not so much that the reader/listener gets lost in translation, as they say. When the Yingelishi audio forever, covered the speaker's voice with a bass instrutment, I, as the listener, lost connection with the audio

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes At a certain point, i did convince myself that there were too many sounds I didn't understand to process the language behind it. This makes me wonder in my future SME's if i would be using too many sounds or too little sounds. It's obviously important to incorporate

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes because i had the english translation on the screen, I was able to follow along and think I heard what I was reading. Was that my mind adapting to this new language i was trying to hear and understand or did the language have some things in common with what I already knew

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes Yingelishi makes me wonder if the speaker actually knew English or if they were trying to express or show that they didn't know English and simply translated from their native language. there were moments where I questioned if I was truly able to understand Yingelishi

A question that left behind would be why would she turn this into a song and specifically with traditional Chinese music. What deeper idea is she trying to express or reach. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes
