It’s been a strange, but fun, day researching contemporary composers .. first Richard Ayers’ biographies and then your site. As a small thank-you for making my day more amusing, can I make two suggestions :
Cryptolectes : argot, verlan, 1337 et LOLCODE.
Can I recommend reading Feersum Endjinn by Iain M Banks ? It’s not his best (see Player of Games (or Use of Weapons)), but one quarter of the book is written in a very playful mode that u 1/2 2 c to believe.
Centres d’intérêt : La créativité et le lien social, les sciences humaines .... et les séries télévisées (principalement britanniques).
If you include comedy in this, I cannot recommend too highly the BBC TV series Coupling which is brilliantly creative, observant, perfectly written, very well cast.
Somebody remarked of Banks that he « makes up rules for the pleasure of breaking them ». This is equally true of Steven Moffat’s writing in Coupling.
