Hi,
I decided to give "The Chaos" a shot, I'm sure it's probably riddled with mistakes.
http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/jc/chaos_trenite_mjb.mp3
Runtime: 4 mins and 12 seconds.
I hope it's okay technically, I still haven't figured out the noise reducing thing (there might potentially be someone chanting in the background - I couldn't hear it, so hopefully it's not there.
Thanks,
Margaret

Well, it looks like I was able to fit it all in under the wire; I found myself home from work early tonight... Have a good week, Jc.

I took a quick glance, and it doesn't look like it's got much noise. I can't listen to it right now (family watching TV right beside), so I'll listen to it tomorrow and see how it goes.mjbrichant wrote:Hi,

Thank you very much for your comment on my blog "Du Holde Kunst".
I quite agree with you that there are many - if not infinite - ways of rendering The Chaos. If I chose to transliterate (and record) it according to the Received Pronunciation as noted by D. Jones' about fifty years ago, it is not only because I am not reasonably acquainted with other accents than British RP but also because, in my opinion, - being conservative (refractory to regularization) - RP is the rendering which produces the most incongruities and, consequently, the most fun. I daresay that these were the author's goals.
Cheers
Sergio
