Can something have meaning without being understood? #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

I also do like the idea of just adding something completely out of place, or just like a switch in tone or tempo or anything to keep the listener engaged and to get a reaction, whatever it may be, out of them. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

From this I will definitely take into account on speed and background noises for the upcoming SME. Even though ours won't be 15+ minutes long, it is still important to make whatever's playing even worth listening and worth paying attention to and not just background noise. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

Like I said in one of my previous tweets, if the singing was just any speed faster, I think it would've helped not only hearing the words better, but also just keeping me engaged and not feel bored after awhile. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

As a listener I think I was more focused on trying to make what I was hearing match what it was intended to be heard as. So I wonder what the experience would have been like if there were no translation at all, or if we had to write our own translations, that would be fun. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

Yingelishi was such an experience. I can't say that it was good or bad, I have never heard anything like it, and I loved that about it. I definitely was starting to lose interest after 5 minutes, so now I'm starting to think that beat switch at the end was intentional. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

I stopped trying to understand about 1 minute in haha. I accepted my brain was gonna be confused and just enjoyed it for what it was. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

this makes me want to know more about how the concept came to be and what he was intending on creating #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

#hwa4 #genrepressure Especially academically, I feel trapped in the nonfiction drama. It feels like oftentimes I have to present things in such a way that is "academic" and devoid of a lot of creative freedoms. I think that spills over into my personal life too, so hope my SMEs can be confusing/fun!

Instead of worrying about making sure everything is clear, this makes me want to try new things with my own work. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

Ok the robbery part is my new favorite something about the sounds and words are just so funny to listen to. The all my belongings part is music to my ears. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

yigleshi is making me think about how being presented with translations that possess two meanings that couldn't be more different really caught my attention and makes me even more curious on how it came to be #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

Yingelishi made me think again about translation. I usually think of translation as putting the same meaning into a different language. But this showed me how sound and interpretation can add a lot to meaning #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

One genre I feel trapped in is alternative rap, especially from artists like LUCKI. My future SMEs might touch on this genre's soft wall by taking inspiration from the melodic and trippy instrumentals. #hwa4 #genrepressure

I wish I knew what fluency was in this landscape. Am I considered fluent. I sure hope because I have no clue what is happening. At this point im just listening as someone enjoying the poems with no clue whats going on. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I choose Schechner because I also do agree that performance is restored behavior- for ex. Slideshows and bold words are repeated. Also, before saying something, we humans like to think it through (scenario, how to say, what to say) in our minds beforehand, as shown in lecture! #hwa4 #translationacts

I think the genre I get stuck in is memoir because I always end up connecting things back to stuff ive personally experienced. For the next SMEs I wanna try looking at myself more from the outside instead of always writing from inside my own head. #hwa4 #genrepressure

#hwa4 #wherethingsslip We began to discuss ontological slippage around with GPT in general, around the ~38 minute mark. Although GPTs act like it, they don't actually understand what we're saying. Instead, they're perform, but sometimes that performance reveals something structurally/backstage

EVERY rule is being broken haha. My brain is fried. It does make sense it doesnt make sense, the fact I do not hear some of the words at all makes it all that much more confusing. Am I suppose to hear those words? #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Even though I didn't understand the words, I felt something when I heard them. I learned that I don't always need to know exactly what something means to connect with it #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes
