This time I had the idea to start with waltz rhythm. This did not survive contact with the enemy (I am my own worst enemy) as the three-part rhythm became too fast (for human legs) and so I ended up putting four of those together to make 12/8 time.
You're not? Do you have no spirit of enquiry!?
The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical idea for finding prime numbers: you take all the numbers except one. Two is your first prime, so you take that, then sieve out and discard from the rest everything divisible by two. Three is your next surviving number, so that's prime, and now you discard everything remaining that's divisible by three. Repeat until the infinite initial pile of numbers is gone.
And it is a round in as much as the different voices repeat themselves, albeit with different recurrences.

Another stab (with a blunt instrument) at one of these.
This time it took me longer to find a starting point that I could work from. I decided I wanted to break the utterances down further into mostly syllables, or rather "phonemes" since we're spoken not written.
I did that and got some great sounds out of the voices, but after that I got jammed. There were plenty of nice "melody" bits, and plenty of lovely percussive sounds, it was just that however I put the latter together it came out like somebody playing with a drum machine and failing to grasp the hotel room trashing aspect of rock and roll.
Rosemary Badcoe - First percussive and "Daa"

"Meringuephone" is clearly an English nonsense word.
I attempted to structure this as a classic pop song, with verses, choruses and a break, and also percussion, and accompaniment.
I didn't do too much clever manipulation of the voices, although I did shift pitch a couple of times to let them harmonise with themselves (intensely so in one small fragment but that didn't fit and is quite far in the background). I also stretched the duration of the odd word to allow a slight hold at the ends of phrases.
I'm well fired up by this and if people send more I will do more.
