A style of music, making heavy use of complex harmonisation, where the "words" sung are acronyms, used as vocables.
The fields of computer science and the military provides fertile ground for composition and thematic variation, though other sources are, of course, not ruled out.

I'd be impressed by anyone who could vocalize QPSK, let alone 64-QAM. Does this include trellis coding and error correction? |

//vocalize QPSK//
Perhaps that subset of sci-fi fan who can speak Klingon, which conjours up images of a a Cornish Pasty-headed Quartet harmonising and spraying spittle over passing shoppers. |

My old Philips DVB box used to emit a kind of curtailed squeal and then a stuttering crash-like effect when changing from a channel that was broadcast on 16QAM to 64QAM, several years ago when they first started mixing up not only the quadrature, but also the amplitude and indeed the modulations on Freeview. |

I once dropped a "talking calculator"
into the toilet by accident. When I took
it out it went haywire, and vocalised a
string of delightful gibberish before it
stopped working completely. What's
this got to do with your idea calum? -
not too sure, but I like the idea, and it
reminded me somehow of the demise of
my calculator. + |
