Hallo!
Hello!
Привет!
toki a!

I'm new here on Conlang Network. :)
I've been part of the conlanging hobby since I was a young teenager, but I've not worked on anything conlang-related in quite a while.

I've pursued #linguistics in university because of my #conlanging hobby; and I'm a professional in the translation/localisation industry, specialising in video games and other media.

I speak #German and #English natively ( #bilingual) and have been learning a bit of #Russian on the side. I am fluent in #tokipona, which I've been learning for over seven years now.

#conlang #linguistics #introduction #newHere #intro

I was playing with Gemini yesterday (the evil google ai not the cool alternative networking protocol) and was surprised that it's able to speak Toki Pona quite well. You can ask it to translate a sentence and responds. Granted I don't know much #TokiPona so it could be doing a totally horrible job but I was surprised it even tried tbh

I ordered the Toki Pona books today.

#TokiPona

Here's the 32nd track of 2025. I'm not sure how to describe this one, but at some point, the melody reminds me of a track from Gui Borrato that's been stuck in my head for many years, and it's a vibe I love.

Also it's my birthday. And I'm in a fantastic mood.

#TokiPona

tenpo suno ni la, mi sike e suno a!

Hodiaux estas mia naskigxotago!

It's my cake day!

There are many ways to shout void-ward regarding the anniversary of ones birth.

Here's one more:

"I have been stuck to the side of a large spinning rock by a force no one fully understands, hurdling through the vast emptiness of space, while orbiting an unfathomably giant ball of fire for many years.

The experience would have been terrifying to endure without your company."

#esperanto

I somehow seem to be encountering #TokiPona more often lately. Pretty much forgot about the language after learning of its existence from a radio program some twenty years ago, and suddenly I come across people using it somewhat often here on fedi, as well as on #GeminiProtocol.

Mildly curious as to what's drawing people to it.

A mouse is an adorable 'soweli lili' until it runs uninvited across your kitchen floor.

At which point it becomes 'a!', and various other alarmed vowel sounds.

Here's the 31st track of 2025, because, yes, we're reaching the end of the 31st week.

I don't know which genre would be accurate to describe it. This is some kind of IDM-flavored dark #ambient #downtempo with an ominous, cinematic, almost ritualistic vibe. A blend of sullen pads, drowned bass and slow beats that sometimes go awry. And I like where it goes.

#TokiPona

mi lon la, mi pona is something I say often.

Translated from #tokipona, it means something along the lines of "If I'm here, then I'm good". Like a lot of #clown thoughts, the phrase is dripping with philosophy and layers of poetry.

Today I found where I first used the phrase.

It was something I scrawled at the bottom of a journal entry about being present where you are and doing what you can to make it somewhere you want to be.

since we will be out of the studio for a bit, here have some of our older works we haven’t shown yet.

this toki pona badge was laser carved and cut from aluminium and it turned out pretty well.

we were thinking of maybe making sitelen pona name badges for keychains or charms. probably investment cast from bronze or precious metals.

would you want one?

Hi there, is it Sunday yet? Well, no, but my weekend will be quite busy, so here's the 30th track of 2025 in advance :)

https://lectronice.bandcamp.com/track/kalama-musi-jelo-nanpa-mute

I wanted to make some drone ambient... and I failed utterly. So you'll get #acid #techno
instead. I suppose you could remove everything but the slightly ominous pads in the background, and the result would be very close to what I was initially aiming for, but where would be the fun in that?

What awesomeness is this‽: This custom made, almost kilogram brass curio is infuriatingly WONDERFUL. I will break into it… eventually. #puzzle #birthday #miriscient #conlang #tokipona

Apparently this one-track-a-week thing is still on track (haha). It's the end of week 29, meaning you can listen to my 29th musical experiment of the year.

Is it #dub #techno? Probably. At least, for the most part, then it drifts into some ambient textures that may lead to something else. I'd say it sounds more minimalist than the usual. There's a bit more silence, a bit less noise, and even if it's still quite busy, it has a more contrasted, impactful vibe.
