Jonathan Kane has been conlanging since about 2011, though they first started making their own writing systems at about ten years old after reading Tolkien for the first time. In 2023, they combined this interest with their other main interest, music, by creating the musical conlang Sdefa. They have several other active conlang projects, ranging from the semi-naturalistic language Valya to a purely graphical non-linear language and one that is composed of binary strings. With all these projects they are assisted by their cat, Levuna.
This is a Sdefa text in the form of a short piece for piano. The piece was originally written in 2023 in anticipation of the event Kopikon, and is being shown now shortly before Kopikon II. This presentation shows the text in both orthographies of Sdefa as well as music notation, along with an interlinear gloss and a brief explanation.
