About me:
I have been making music with Michael Ormiston since 2000. We have collaborated on many projects together and have recorded many CDs which can been seen on our website www.soundtransformations.co.uk
I have specialised in Khoomii, Khargyraa throat singing and also work with groups to perform more choral pieces and improvisations using Overtone Singing and other vocal techniques
We run Mongolian Khoomii singing workshops all over the world and teach Tibetan Bowls and Symphonic Gongs as part of working with sound for healing.
I run Bija Mantra workshops where I teach the sanskrit syllable chanting as a way of connecting to the Chakras. I am also a painter of Sacred Mandalas which I have been painting since I was a child and can be used with sound as a way of focussing energy and intention.
For 15 years I have been working as a Ayurvedic masseur and have visited South India many times to work with some great healers and therapists.
As a band we are:
Radiant Voyages
Instruments:
Voice, Jews Harps, Dombra, Frame Drum, Percussion,Tibetan Bowls, Symphonic Gongs, Native American Flutes, Harmonic Flutes
Influences:
Mongolian Khoomii, Tuvan Khoomei, Sainkho, David Hykes, Michael Vetter, Rollin Rachele, Michael Ormiston, and all the people that are inspired to sing harmonics
