Listening Session #10 – Invented languages
Glossolalia
Glossolalia: speaking in tongues, according to linguists, is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning, in some cases as part of religious practice in which it is believed to be a divine language unknown to the speaker.
Prophecies, Pentecost Community, USA, 1960s (the language of the holy ghost)

or:
Pentecostal Church, Oklahoma, USA 1980s

Enochian, John Dee’s magic angelic language, used by Aleister Crowley (record of 1920)
The Call Of The First and Second Aethyr (Enochian version), 1920
https://ubusound.memoryoftheworld.org/occult/Occult_Disc2_04_Aleister-Crowley-The-Call-Of-The-First-And-Second-Aethyr-Ca-1920.mp3
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian
A state in between, a person, who is influenced by Aleister Crowley and also by William Burroughs is Genesis P-Orridge, who invents permanently new Words and who invented himself as a new person. (he created a „third person together with Lady Jaye).
Historian Dave Evans described his band Psychic TV as “a band dedicated to musical eclecticism and magical experiment, their performances being in part ritual (ab)use of sound samples, the creation of ‘auditory magical sigils’ and the destruction of consensus language in order to find meaning.”
Sound Poems and more
Kurt Schwitters: Ursonate 1922-1932 has no magical roots, however. It ia „Lautgedicht“ a phones no real invented language, but a sound poem. Refused by the Berlin Dadaists, he started a one-man Dada group in Hannover called Merz.

The lettrists continued this tradition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBacPKmkJHA (start ca. 3:20)
or Velimir Chlebnikow’s poems in invented, but barely structured languages, a sort of utopian sound poems.
http://www.ubu.com/sound/khlebnikov.html
Zaum: As a preview of the comprehensive exhibition of art by Kazimir Malevich and the Russian Avant-Garde at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland), Fondation Beyeler presented a production of the Futurist opera Victory Over the Sun during Art Basel in Basel 2015. The opera was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1913. Its creators were composer Mikhail Matyushin, the poets Alexey Kruchonych and Velemir Chlebnikov. It is entirely sun/spoken in Zaum, an utopian language.
Öyvind Fahlströhm invented the language „Birdo“ for his radio play „Birds in Sveden“
http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/1/bessa.php
A newer example is the Breadwoman-project by Anna Holmler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwlBoJHnaY
There were also some rock groups experimenting with invented languages, like Magma with „Kobaia“
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA-g77MUBDM
or constructed languages invented by writers like J.R.R. Tolkien: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_constructed_by_J._R._R._Tolkien
Structured languages
as alternative to existing languages were Esperanto (and Esperanto 2, developped by René de Saussure in Geneva)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/René_de_Saussure
Esperanto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV3TLa5FNLU
A “better” language should allow the speaker to think more clearly or intelligently or to encompass more points of view; this was the intention of Suzette Haden Elgin in creating Láadan, a feminist language[12] embodied in her feminist science fiction series Native Tongue.[13]
