Hi Bodhi,
thanks for the compliments.
You better go to Tuva this year, since now is the biggest Throat Singing event of the earth, which happens only once every three-four years, in Kyzyl!

Hey! bedankt.
Zag je de video. Een van de zangers is de zoon van het cuncordu! Hij is meer weg van de tenore stijl.... Ignazio Machiarella is ook een fantastisch man. Dankzij hem heb ik ze goed leren kennen.
Beste groeten

How are you?
Cutting is going good. There are really funny shots with Gregor laughing. I think I will make a little clip out of it.
I will inform you, when I have the 2nd version finished, so you can check.
