초록
The technical language surrounding electronic music instruments is continually expanding with their increased popularity and use. The field’s prioritization of English, the most commonly used language among manufacturers, presents a language barrier for non-native English speakers. New generations of independent electronic music instrument developers in countries like Mexico utilize a mix of English and Spanish to label and describe the features and functions of their products. This is due to a lack of terminology in Spanish coupled with a desire to compete in the global market. My paper highlights current examples in which Mexican builders like Paradox Effects engage with English and are actively searching for creative ways to enrich audio jargon in Spanish. Using objects or artifacts as hermeneutic, I delineate a methodology that considers perspectives from fields like critical linguistics and science and technology studies (STS) to highlight the role English plays in creativity and sonic imaginaries for the non-fluent.
Abstract
