Tongue & Groove
Tongue & Groove
Tongue & Groove is an immersive sound event with an audience, whose gob choreography makes a sound track.
Tongue & Groove is an immersive event, in which tongue and palate make a sound track. Each member of the audience has a sensor in their mouth, and a script in their hand to speak. That is the 'tongue'. The 'groove' features a DJ who processes the audience’s sounds to make a three-minute banger to dance to.

About the project
It is a defence of mutation, a stand-out feature of Cymraeg/Welsh, a natural gob choreography rather than a tedious rule. The script over- and mis- and rightly-mutates. It also defends a language that is attacked every day.
I read an account about a man, a long time ago now, who pushed a bar of soap into his housemaid’s mouth to punish her for speaking it. Would shoving something in ours right this wrong?
