Prosody Castle blog is having interminable difficulty posting audio, hence the long delay in posting anything, but will create an archive, possibly at a new address, by next year. Do check back, as we're sitting on some amazing recordings, like the one featuring Erika Staiti and Chris Stroffolino translated into multiple languages live (I love typing that)!
I can't thank enough the people who came through, many at the last minute, with simultaneous translation of work from Erika Staiti and Chris Stroffolino. Mandy Lou provided translation to Mandarin, Tonette Mendoza provided Spanish, Matthew Montgomery provided German, Jackqueline Frost provided French and, via recording, Filomena Borges provided Portugese, while new baby Lexi provided translation to baby.
While I'm sure we fell short of the goal of representing the modern metropolis in all its linguistic diversity, we did create a rich texture. We got a fairly important cross section of languages relevant to this fair section but our original hope of getting every language spoken in Oakland was not to be reached, in part because there are something like 140 of them (no joke, someone quoted that to me recently), and in part because this whole series is pulled off by the seat of its pants. Thanks again for everyone participating in this bit of tailoring.
