"for me it's just an interjection, as Dan said, like 'let's go' or somthing of the kind. It is also quite in use during tunes where there is an acceleration, like when a horse start galoping :)"

"Well, the drone is very important for overtone music, since there must be a fundamental tone. With a steady fundamental, a drone, you get the harmonic series you can build overtone melodies on that will always sound good."

"Well, it would be nice if there was some more activity on this group. :-) So welcome. May I ask which metal/drone acts you are referring to?"

"lol I don't remember him saying that, but I imagine him now speaking like Ned from SouthPark... or Wolfman Jack, and it's quite funny."

"I noticed it for example in this performance of Ekki Attar by Alash. And I remember peterofthecorn (I think) mentioning that when he is spoken to while singing khoomei, he starts speaking in a constricted voice. I guess that made me think..."

Dan Zimmermann replied to the discussion 'Alzin hears a Shu' in the group Khoomei dot com Forum

"I'm told in the context of song lyrics, neither "shu" or "aa shu dekei-oo" mean anything beyond "hidey hidey ho" or "e-i-e-i-o" or "do wop doo lang doo lang"... while I am getting the impression…"

Dan Zimmermann replied to the discussion 'Alzin hears a Shu' in the group Khoomei dot com Forum

""Shu-de" is an exclamation that means "let's go" or "giddyup", but is used more like "yeah" like in rock or pop music. The lone syllable "shu" is often used like that as well, especially in the…"

Alzin hears a Shu

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 know about that.) I was wondering if that is something common, a coincidence, several songs ending like this, if it is a cultural thing or if it helps the singer to return to normal voice. Does anyone know anything about that? Does it have a meaning or is it just me? Is it helpful?See More

"Those recordings don't have much relevance to this network (I think), but they are interesting anyway. I always like to hear new experiments that might lead me somewhere new. So I'd give any soundfile a try."

"Practising isn't easy for me lately, it's not only the short amount of time I have alone, but I also got diagnosed with a functional dysphonia... I'll start a voice-therapy soon, so I'll soon be back on track, at least I hope…"

"I thought attachements weren't possible anymore? Anyway, I like your sample, I'm just not a hundred percent sure what you mean by harmonizing. Do you mean sing along to a recorded track of yourself? Like a one-man-a-capella-group? Oh, how…"

"Oh, I forgot about the yawning-trick! I'll use that one more often now, I'll see how much it helps. Also, I should do a more structured warming up."

"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…"
