Weeeell. :-) I guess you mean Kraakdoos -- I don't think it's my type
of music, although I listen to electronic and even to quite noisy
stuff like Pansonic (I saw them live at ZKM in Karlsruhe where they
played on instruments made my Erkki Kurenniemi, which sounded similar,
but still more like music. :-))

I don't spend that much time on that. That might be the reason why it
took me three full conlangs and seven sketches to get one with a
'nice' sound (subjectively, of course). Again, that's Qthen|gai. So
I'm not really good at producing a well-sounding language. Now I have
the problem that I cannot pronounce it very well, because the phonemes
are so strange...
