<p>You have seen fujara pictures, you’ve heard it’s voice, maybe you even have a fujara or koncovka already at home, now is the time you find out that you could have the tremendous experience to play it yourselves!<br/> Fujara is an amazing music instrument that is easy to play (shepherds without any music education could play it). It has only three side holes, while the other Slovak instrument, the koncovka, has no side holes at all. Still, you might be surprised how many melodies and improvisations are possible to be played on both instruments.<br/> You might also be surprised to learn that the best fujara course is right here in the USA! <br/>
In fact, it is the only one in the entire Western Hemisphere; such a program is not available even in Slovakia!<br/>
The popular week-long course is actually part of the summer program Common Ground on the Hill, at beautiful campus of McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland.<br/>
Now in its eight year, the 2018 course will be a the last week of June, 6/25 - 6/29. <br/>
Students drive and fly here from many states to learn to play both fujara and koncovka, we have fun and on the last day of the course, students can appear playing on stage, as we did in past years. Many say, that the week full of music, jamming and evening concerts was the best vacation of their life and I say that too and I am looking forward very much to it!<br/>

I should have a presentation about overtones on monday and I have been looking for a good explanation why is overtone scale logaritmic. I have a slight idea, but don´t know how to explane it. Also it would be nice to read about different musical systems like natural scale compared to chromatic scale.<br />
<br />
Please, pass me adresses to good resources or give me names of good books.<br />
<br />
Thank you before hand.<br />
<br />
BTW. What would be right forum for such question?<br />

Sauli Gurdjieff- Meetings with Remarkable Men (overtone singing in film)tag:www.overtone.cc,2010-08-09:884327:Topic:982592010-08-09T21:07:17.053Zkiva simovahttps://www.overtone.cc/profile/kivalouise
I saw this film years ago (made in '79), and just saw it again now. I remembered the opening scene where a competition occurred including a man singing overtones (not Asian throat singing). This was supposedly based on the true story of Gurdjieff's early years. Since he was born in 1866, this would have been very early for such a 'western' adaptation. Perhaps the inclusion of overtone singing in the film was taking some liberties with history, but if there is any basis in truth, it has…

Recently I have been looking into missionary work in the Altai region in which "indigenous" music forms--like xoomi/overtone singing--are being researched or even used for spreading the presence of "The Lord". Here is one video from Mongolia: <br></br><br></br>

<br/>Heart-sounds.org, a missionary organization trying to facilitate Christian worship through traditional/local song and music forms, notes research projects in Tuva and Siberia (which includes Mongolia even though this page doesn't mention Mongolia).<br/><br/><a href="http://www.heart-sounds.org/about/history.htm">http://www.heart-sounds.org/about/history.htm</a><br/><br/>Also, there are so-called "ethnodoxologists" like Robin Harris doing "ethnomusicological" work in Tuva. Ethnodoxologists investigate how worship can be superimposed upon traditional art forms by researching them. Recently, a magtaal or "praise song" has been written.<br/><br/>This is not a polemic, but to let you all know about this important issue. It shows another way in which religious narratives are being created using xoomi/overtone-singing.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/><br/>Andrew Colwell<br/><br/><br/> Overtone flute constructiontag:www.overtone.cc,2009-11-19:884327:Topic:814132009-11-19T11:37:02.423ZD.B.Lolaqhttps://www.overtone.cc/profile/DBLolaq
There's no instrument with a more simple construction than the overtone flute. Just a tube, a blowhole or a fipple and a person doing the work with his breath. Simple as it is in construction, the overtone flute encourages you to build one yourself. But as with all simple things, the devil is in the detail.<br />

There are many materials to build a flute from: bamboo, different woods, even copper or pvc. And the blowhole or fipple can be made in many different ways. Any builders out here (and there are some, I've noticed) that want to share their <i>tricks of the trade</i>?<br />
<br />
My favourite material is elder. There are plenty of these shrubs growing in the area where I live, on different soils and with different microclimatic conditions. I find the wood that has grown on a loamy, sandy soil, in a moist area with poplars the best. When it comes to construction, my favourite is the scandinavian <i>sälgflöjt</i>, blown sideways, but with a fipple like a recorder. What are your favourite materials and constructions?

So if you are a throat singer people can find you searching for <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=throat" target="_blank"><b>Throat</b></a> or <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=throat+singer" target="_blank"><b>throat singer</b></a> or <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=throat+singing" target="_blank"><b>throat singing</b></a>. Where do you would search for throat singing? Check it out. The best item could be the self introduction in the advanced member search - the field »about me«. To find out which instrument a musician plays it could be the profile question »instruments««. For example a jaw harper plays a jew's harp, jaw harp, mouth harp, khomus, dan moi or something like that. So she or he plays this instrument called <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=jew%27s+harp&q21=&q30=&page=1" target="_blank"><b>jew's harp</b></a>. If you search <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=overtone+singing&page=6" target="_blank"><b>overtone singing</b></a> in the field »about me« you will find up to 60 members now. But don't believe this result. There are more than 60 overtone singers in this network. This search result depends on how members have tagged their profile. For example there are some <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=berlin&q31=&q21=&q30=overtone+singer" target="_blank"><b>overtone singer</b></a> in the location/city <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=berlin&q31=&q21=&q30=overtone+singer" target="_blank"><b>Berlin</b></a> but you will find just <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=berlin&q31=&q21=&q30=overtone+singer" target="_blank">one</a> person at this moment. If you check out only the single keyword <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=berlin&q31=&q21=&q30=" target="_blank"><b>Berlin</b></a> you will for example <a href="/profile/Arjopa" target="_blank"><b>Arjopa</b> -</a> <a href="/profile/Avalona" target="_blank"><b>Avalona</b>,</a> <a href="/profile/wavegarden" target="_blank"><b>Carlos Michael</b> -</a> <a href="/profile/DanielPircher" target="_blank"><b>Daniel Pircher</b></a> - <a href="/profile/MarkusVirck" target="_blank"><b>Marcantée the blind bard</b>,</a> - <a href="/profile/MiroslavGrosser" target="_blank"><b>Miroslav Grosser</b></a> - <a href="/profile/nadishana" target="_blank"><b>Vladiswar Nadishana</b></a> and the <a href="/profile/MirkaledoDreeston" target="_blank"><b>Mirkaledo Dreeston Profile</b></a> with Gerd Krause and Simon Jakob Drees, Gudrun Doberenz, Kerstin Dambeck, Petra Dambeck, Robert Winter and Rosemarie Uhlig and they all <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=chanting+harmonics" target="_blank"><b>chanting harmonics</b></a> or they »practise« <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=harmonic+singing" target="_blank"><b>harmonic singing</b></a> or shorter <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=harmonic+chant" target="_blank"><b>harmonic chant</b></a><br/> <br/> So what to do? If you want that vistors of this site will find your profile you can try to find your own profile. If you can not find your profile quickly or you get no satisfaction with your search result just add words like »throat«, »overtone singing« or stuff like that to your profile. If you are playing the instrument <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=sitar&q21=&q30=&page=1" target="_blank"><b>sitar</b></a> use this keyword sitar in your profile. Instruments are recommended to add in the profile question: »instruments.« Really you can find everything for example the single word <a href="/profiles/members/search?name=&gender=&country=&location=&q31=&q21=&q30=grid" target="_blank"><b>grid</b></a>. <br/> <br/> <b>Good to know is which keywords are used in the tab »POOL« and the new »SITE MAP«.

Hi ... I found a video on YouTube today of this artistic genius. You can read on his MySpace Music site that his "overtone technique is based on western ideas and is different from Asian vocals. It was only in the past few years, when" he "started really mastering the technique, that" he "visited these countries and worked with musicians from other cultures, and found his expression surprisingly autonomous. In Asia" he was told that the whistling tones of overtone singing do not come from your own throat, but rather from the spiritual bird that sings from within, and that those who possess it have a faithful messenger to the other world, the world above." You can read more about him on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/christianzehnder" target="_blank">www.myspace.com/christianzehnder</a> or visit his website <a href="http://www.zehndermusic.ch" target="_blank">www.zehndermusic.ch</a> which shall be in English soon.
