Alzin hears a Shu 5 Replies

Couldn't come up with a better title... Anyway, I noticed on some live recordings of throat singing that the singer makes a "Shu!" at the end of the song. (I never attended a live show, so I don't…Continue

Harmonizing 13 Replies

I've been experimenting with harmonizing with myself in Sygyt. I tried it with Artii Sayir (sound sample attached) but it didn't work as well as I thought it would. There might be other songs that…Continue

Haha, great story! I startes practising more again, but I seem to have some voice problems... I'll see a doctor soon.
Noone ever is amazed when I throat sing, all I get is polite interest... Maybe that's due to some german mentallity, I don't know. Except for this one guy who said: "Is there anything you CAN'T do?" :D
I grew 10 cm... ;-)

To the untrained ear, I suppose it's very similar... A few friends who heard me do it (or who clicked Huun-Huur Tu links I sent them) commented that it's at least very similar to didg sounds...
Lots of people heard didgeridoo before, but not Kargyraa, so they don't have anything else to compare it to...

On a different note (no pun): My co-worker of a few years, Scott, plays music from his computer during work. He basically provides the musical backdrop for our work days. He played "Iron Man" on Friday morning, which we all know and like. It was the perfect opportunity to Kargyraa along with it, which was the first time our newer guy, Andrew, heard me throat sing. I don't think I ever seen bigger eyes than his when he said "do you have a distortion amp hidden somewhere?" And I just shook my head and sang "Arte Sayyir" for him quickly... He almost fell off his chair...

Hey guys, there is a question I want to aks you. Everytime I demonstrate Kargyraa to someone not familiar with this style, they are like "Oh, hey, you sound like a didjeridoo!" Am I the only one who gets that comment? I don't think Kargyraa sounds like a didj at all!

Happy new year everyone! Let's hope we can improve greatly this year. :-)

Comment by Alzin on December 25, 2011 at 9:40am

Comment by Alzin on November 27, 2011 at 9:03pm

Sounds like a thread. :D

Comment by Ivo Romanek on November 27, 2011 at 3:49pm

I'm back folks...

Comment by Alzin on October 21, 2011 at 9:16am
Ah, thank you! I'm still not having full control, but what do you expect after only one week of practising? :D
Some people say, the Dan Moi must "sing", I have to find out what that means...
