Rachel Gardener sings sad songs in invented languages.
This channel features original songs and parodies in various conlangs, particularly Lojban and other logical languages. I also occasionally post other kinds of Lojban content such as vlogs, let's plays, and learning materials. The style and instrumentation of my songs is primarily inspired by early 2000s MIDI music, while other creative influences include Regina Spektor, Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds, and many more.
You can download my songs from my Bandcamp page here: noiseandbells.bandcamp.com/
I have also created a constructed language called Xextan, which is a logical language similar to Lojban, with an emphasis on simplicity, conciseness, and ease of learning. We even have a Discord server now! discord.gg/4Wz7EeQJ2g

Daq Hurghvo' nargh ("Out of Darkness") — CHRISTMAS CAROL in KLINGON
"Escape is such a thankful Word / I often in the Night
Consider it unto myself / No spectacle in sight
Escape - it is the Basket / In which the Heart is caught
When down some awful Battlement / The rest of Life is dropt-
'Tis not to sight the savior- / It is to be the saved-
And that is why I lay my Head
Upon this trusty Word-"
- Emily Dickinson (c. 1875)

A love letter to the Lojban community, and a desperate prayer to save it from a slow and painful demise. In Lojban culture, to “xekce” (/'xɛk.ʃɛ/) is to derail an otherwise friendly conversation by starting a debate over someone else's grammar, style, or nonstandard usage. Shortened from “xekcedipasopa” (“XKCD-191”), the term was originally coined in reference to an early installment of the pop...

alright you havent released a song for four months its time
Patience, my dear! I am working on a new song, but I have been very busy with my IRL job (lawyer) so it's been slow going. Hopefully soon :)

what font are you using that includes ascenders and descenders?
Though few and far between, some default fonts have their Deseret script in the revised style with ascenders and descenders. (A vast improvement, if you ask me!) The font used in the video is Geneva, which contains a modern and somewhat unconventional sans serif Deseret; Baskerville has a decent set of ascender/descender Deseret glyphs with serifs as well, though I don't much care for the lowercase 𐑀 just being 𐐿 with overdot. Other than that, I believe there are a few custom fonts people have devised over the years, which you should be able to find with a web search. Good luck and 𐑊𐐫𐑍 𐑊𐐮𐑂 𐑄 𐑊𐐩𐐿!

this is amazing, ive been listening for 1.5 y and still adore this song !!!
So I start research on a language known to be as logical as possible, then get interested in the fact that people make music in it and find a wonderful song, that is very emotionally charged... Some irony in that Wonderful song!

1K SUBS!!1!
This is wonderful, and I've kept coming back to it since it came out. It just won't leave my mind (in the best kind of way). Thank you! <3 I keep thinking I've heard this melody before, but I just can't place it. What is it?
The main melody is "O Holy Night" ("Cantique de Noel" in the original French) and the bridge section in Dothraki is "The First Noel" :)
0:34 One thing I love about this line and the next is that "ma sewi" can be translated as heaven, but also as "sky". Therefore, the line can be used to mean both a promised but currently inaccessible relief ("Don't worry, when you die you'll go to heaven and get the best pie ever"), but also in a more malicious way that any kind of relief is impossible ("There's some pie up in the sky, if you can reach it it's gonna be the best pie ever"). This double meaning is only possible thanks to the unique way toki pona words are made.
I'm in love with this song, it's so cheerful and pleasant-sounding :)
this is more like a christian song than a carol

what resource(s) did you use to make the dothraki part? i cant find a working dictionary ANYWHERE 😭
Yeah, Dothraki resources are pretty sparse these days for some reason. Here's what I used: Grammar: theswissbay.ch/pdf/Books/Linguistics/Mega%20linguistics%20pack/Conlangs/Dothraki%20Grammar%20-%20Wiki%20Info%20compliation%20%28Brabent%29%20%28ver%201.01%29.pdf Dictionary: dl.icdst.org/pdfs/files2/3b86b110cf0744a64cb79d0e3ee76308.pdf
@@NoiseAndBells now i'm confused, cause one word is split in two parts hoyalates hoyalat + -es from the grammar it says "For animate nouns the accusative case is denoted by the suffix /-es/ regardless of what letter the noun ends in except for with plurals (that end in /-i/) where the accusative is only an /-s/." "hoyalat" is a verb, but the -es suffix is used for animate *nouns* huh?
hoyalates m’at memoon, arrekaan to sing [accusative] | with one (shortened of ma at) | sound [ablative] | until asto kishi frakha(t)* asavvasaan prayer | our | to touch | sky {heaven} [allative] *found frakhat, but not frakha. if -t is a suffix it could not be found. Ma me jekhta(t)* adorof yatha Vojjori and | he/she/it| to bounce (off of) | chair [augmentative] | high [noun isn't nominative] | god [dimunitive] | *found jekhtat, but not jekhta. if -t is a suffix it could not be found. Haji kolat athzhikhar sofosori Foreign word/for | to cure | sickness | [unable to find anything] why did i do this to myself
The -ates ending is the first person plural imperative, according to David J. Peterson; I actually had to ask him directly for that one, as it's not documented anywhere that I could find.
@@janmusi "frakha" and "jekhta" are conjugated in the first person singular present tense, which in this case entails merely dropping the final t from the infinitive. "sofosori" is a typo: it should read "sorfosori", from "sorfosor", meaning Earth.
more dissecting time! vi lo srasu mi vreta ca ku vi: location; here lo srasu: the grass mi: me vreta: lie, like sleeping ca: right now?? ku: some terminator thing idk
Right on! {ku} is a terminator for determiners (selma'o LE) as well as prepositions (selma'o PU and BAI). Lojban tenses (PU) are grammatically prepositions; here, the terminator {ku} allows the present tense {ca} to be displaced from its verb and placed at the end of the clause as an adverbial construction. {ca ku} can therefore be rendered as an adverbial phrase in English, such as "currently" or "right now".
@NoiseAndBells how am I 11 like how is it that I'm 11 and like conlangs like huh????((??
Ĉi tiu kanto estas tre bela! Mi vere ŝatas ĝin
And to think that with its many guttural consonants, Klingon bears some similarities in overall sound to Hebrew or Arabic. The former is quite fitting for the season as well.
having almost no knowledge of lojban, but a very bad understanding of it, i tried to decompose the first line: do mi sombo lo fusra je festi you (x1) | me (x2) | plants (gismu) | the rot/decay and (metaphor) waste (x3) | sombo is described as: (x1) sows/plants (x2) [crop/plants] at/in (x3) . so _do_ is the planter _mi_ gets planted _lo fusra_ and _je festi_ are where they get planted
Very close! {lo fusra je festi} is a single argument made from two predicates -- {fusra} "decay" and {festi} "waste" -- connected by the logical "and" operator, {je}. So, {lo fusra je festi} is "something which is both decay AND waste".
