Teenage slang curdles from ingenious to embarrassing in record time, snapped up by brands for the purposes of selling their products. ‘I can’t even’ has already embarked upon its promotional tour. On Twitter, Cap’n Crunch cereal ‘just can’t even with this right now.’ Taco Bell ‘literally can’t.’ When a public relations firm listed Charmin among its favorite Twitter brands last year, the toilet paper company tweeted: ‘We. Can’t. Even.’ Applebee’s favorited it.

This piece combines improvisational playing on cello, synth, and drums, with three main technological components. The first component is a purpose-built synthesis/sequencer program. The piece opens with this program layering a base motif 64 times with a random time offset, creating a blurred, textural reference to the original motif that varies with each performance. The second component is a generative Markov model of phoneme sequences derived from Wikipedia and a collection of scientific papers. We use the model to generate novel, incoherent speech sounds. The third component is a sentiment-aware model of statements of preference derived from peoples’ actual statements of preference on the internet. We use the model to generate positive/negative sentiment couplets, recited in synthesized speech.
