can't.

copying the la la la effect, and staccato)
LINDEN LEE - New - Looked at
BONJOUR MA MIE - New - Looked at
BRODMAN AREA 47 - New - By Nikos!!!
Wonderful example of how science can be mixed with music.
Something to do with frontal lobe of brain - ask Nikos!
No words to learn! Just sounds.
Greek 'th's - hard, as in 'that' NOT as in 'think' - effect should be
hum sound NOT with 'z' or 'buzz' escaping from the 'th' - sing it MF to
avoid this 'buzz' -
Start very very loud with a crescendo.
First Ah.......sound ends in a soft 'ch' as in 'loch' COUNT
1,2,3,4,'ch' It should be a flat 'ch' not like a cat hiss, more like
the swish of a blade.
Bar 9 - is like blowing into your cold hands
SOPRANOS - A A A is NOT joined. Sing A A A separate A's.
(Nikos, if you want to add or alter, please do! Well done!)
SCENE IV - Lully - Looked at.
