Tower of Babel



Tower of Babel

Two days ago a valued member of Sproutbau left for France. Julien was here for two weeks and became an integral part of the Sproutbau experience. He had the idea to do a track about the languages at Sproutbau and the occasional trouble with communication. We followed him around as he spoke to Sproutbau members about this notion. The track features some tongue twisters and Sproutbau people talking about incomprehesion. The track is presented to you here. So far we've tried to use only sounds of the Sproutbau as our backing tracks but the temptation to sample Led Zepplins Commucation Breakdown was too mush to resist, so sue us. So listen and let Julien explain the rest of the concept to you. The languages recorded are German (a variety of dialects), French, English (UK and USA), Polish, Yugoslavian, Reunion Creole, Albanian and maybe more. So thanks to Julien - whereever you are. The artwork today is all the Sproutbau folks favourite words.
