In one of my classes here, a Mongolian student was impressed and surprised that my demonstration of vocal placement options sounded like a Throat-singer from her homeland in Ulanbataar.
She gave me a CD to show what she meant. Boy am I blown away. This singer achieves the 'effect' of two notes at once with the use of harmonics and resonater movement. Incredible! Very similar to the Tibetan technique, but uses more range. I feel like I've been shown a whole new dimension to the instrument. I'd heard about this, but never heard it for myself. I love delving into cultures. If was wasn't here, I wouldn't have met the Mongolian and got a window into her culture (we talked for ages after a class about her country). Man. Had to share it or I'd burst, sorry ("Midas has donkeys ears, Midas has donkeys ears...") ------------------ Where were Hamlet and Horatio when I needed them?! A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

Er ... I read your post with a great interest, and I was very happy for you to have had a new wonderful experience, and for us that you had shared it - but I confess that I have limited experience in Mongolian music (shame on me ...), so I didn't know what to reply ...
OK, I will make very soon a trip to my favourite music store, and see what I can do to remedy to my ignorance. ------------------ |

Yorick... that sounds interesting. Could you post a sample or two at Stealthy's site on the Jukebox? Or is that too difficult from an internet cafe?

Far too often cultures we dont know or understand are rejected as outlandish or just "weird". But this just goes to show you.....
Sounds pretty cool Yorrick, try to post it somewhere. You might be starting a musical revelution! ------------------ [insert witty phrase here] |

Yorick, I'll be very interested to hear your next cd. I'm betting there will be multiple cultural influences in your new songs. Am I right? And *YIPPEEEEE* to the possible posting of Mongolian music at Stealthy's. ------------------ Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Yes, Yorick, I went to the "Hatt baby" site - very weird indeed ! Especially while not understanding the lyrics ...
Oh, Jerome, I didn't say that I 'rejected' Mongolian music ! What I said that, unfortunately, there are so many interesting topics in this world, and one can not, alas !, know about all, I didn't happen to cross into Mongolian music yet, but now that Yorick has kindly pointed how interesting it is, I will for sure ! Ignorance is not rejection ! ------------------ |
