Hi Epona, hat thing is Yorick's doing, just doing my mobile billboard trick. Wish I had a sound card on this machine, but alas my stingy work won't buy them

OK, here is a link to some Mongolian Throat singing. Didn't look at 'Pylon of the Month' or 'Ukrainian bus shelters' though.

Actually, I was quite impressed by the bus shelters....

I listened to the file from the site you suggested Epona, yeah and you're right Yorick truly amazing harmonics. About half way through listening I was almost convinced that the sound was electronic, most amazing.

I just came home from the concert of Mongolian instrumental and throat singing I mentioned earlier - guys, this music is amazing ! I didn't know that a human voice could produce such sounds ! It goes from the foghorn to the singing of the hummingbird ! And the playing with the harmonics ! Extraordinaire ! And such power of evocation ! I will stop here, I am just speechless. Thank you, Yorick, thank you for sharing this wonder. I read your thread Monday morning, and then I had the immense luck to discover the same day that a group of four Mongolian throat singers would came here for an unique concert the next Thursday. Such a coincidence ...

I remember being woken by a group of people practicing Himalayan Voice Yoga. I wonder if this is a similar thing. It was being led by a man named 'Ponderosa Pine' who belonged to an environmental group where each individual named themselves after an endangered species.

That was such an unusual week on a university campus. It was there that I played my first game of Zen ping-pong.

Hi Dublin Grocer - er... what an unusual nickname! Are you a grocer, or is it a joke that I am too daft to spot!! Is there a shortened version we can use, it's a bit of a 'handful' to type!!! (or would that be too familiar!! )

I have never heard either Mongolian throat singing OR Himalayan voice yoga in real life (other than the short clip I posted a link to the other day) so I can't answer your question. I must try to get to hear some properly some day, I'm now fascinated. How do they DO that?? The concept of zen ping-pong sounds fascinating too...
