He has published 20 CDs with his own compositions yet and teaches worlwide.
About me: My singing practice takes inspiration from Tuvan and Mongolian overtone singing, Inuit throat singing, sound poetry and an ongoing exploration of extra-normal vocal technique.
I also take influence from industrial musick, trance, and drone; insight meditation practice, urban/industrial shamanism and chaos magick; feminist, queer and trans praxis; and Discordianism.
As a researcher, I have interests in feminist, queer and trans politics, intersectionality and ethical engagements with postmodern culture(s), with a focus on writing against normative narratives. A critical engagement with the ethics of performance, cultural appropriation and privilege form the core of my praxis. I use the moniker Sage Pbbbt for vocal performance work and my name Sage J Harlow for writing.
I recently complete my PhD entitled ‘Giving voice to the extra-normal self with the extra-normal voice: Improvised exploration through the realms of shamanic chaos magick, insight meditation and gender performance.’ You can read it here if you like.
Sometimes I play the drums. Sometimes I write pieces of musick.
Pronouns: she/her.
I recognise the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this country. I recognise the the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of the land where I live (Perth, Western Australia).
About me: I am a master of silversmithing and I forge resonating objects like singing bowls and gongs since 1993. Creating new overtone-instruments is my profession.
Ohne meinen Online-Übersetzer wäre ich total aufgeschmissen hier im Netzwerk
deshalb entschuldigt bitte meine manchmal etwas merkwürdige Ausdrucksweise.
Without my online translator I would be stuck here in the total network
So please excuse my sometimes rather odd expression.
Sin mi traductor en línea que se quedaban atascados aquí, en el total de la red
Así que pido disculpas por mi expresión a veces bastante extraño.
Ilma minu online tõlkija Oleksin ummikus siin kogu võrgu
Nii et palun vabandust mu mõnikord üsna kummaline väljend.
About me: I am a female independant filmmaker, born in Cairo and based in Berlin. Throughout my life I am exploring different disciplines and experiment with different mediums. The intention from our team is to create films that are authentic with protagonists from our daily life and to mute cinematographic poetical elements in the film. The music and the overtones came to me a little while ago during a time of change and trasformation and it is flowering now. I got a futujara from Max Brumberg and working with overtone singing with Miroslav Großer and in contact with David Hykes, as his work is very much near the fields I work in art, meditation, healing and inspiring.
About me: travelling overtone musician and flutemaker... out in the forests I feel home, making music for the spirits is my love and tunes me in..

Max Brumberg
is an overtone musician and flute builder. He specialises in building overtone flutes and fujaras, but also irish(low)whistles and doubleflutes. They are carefully handcrafted from woods such as Elder and Maple, the branches being carefully selected by his own hands from our forests.
His first contact with the didjeridoo was in 1995, inspired by it's sound he delved deeper into harmonics and sound. His love of nature led him to travel with his sound and music to interesting power-places and he developed an intuitive improvisational playing style with the harmonics as a channel for the inaudible existing.
His repertoire of overtone instruments soon widened to encompass voice and flutes, mouthharp, singing bowls, gongs and more. At the moment he is experimenting in the playing and building of bagpipes and various other flutes and instruments.
Giving seminars and travelling with his instruments and music Max Brumberg desires to reconnect people to nature and themselves through intuitive overtone music. The world is sound, the natural harmonies of the overtone scale is the ancient matrix we find everywhere in nature and the cosmos, the (tone) ladder to ourselves and our roots..
Max Bumberg
ist Obertonmusiker und Floetenbauer. Sein Spezialgebiet sind Obertonfloeten und Fujaras, aber auch Irish (Low) Whistles und Doppelfloeten. Sie werden in feiner sorgfaeltiger Handarbeit meist aus Holunder aber auch aus anderen selbst im Wald gesuchten Hoelzern gebaut.
1995 war sein erster Kontakt mit dem Didjeridu, fortan beschaeftigte er sich mit Obertoenen und Klang(wirkung). Da er schon immer die Natur und besondere Orte in ihr liebte, begann er mit Klang zu Kraftorten zu reisen. Diese auf sich wirken lassend entwickelte er ein intuitiv improvisiertes Spiel mit Obertoenen als Kanal fuer das unhoerbare vorhandene.
Das Repertoir an (Oberton)Instrumenten hat sich seitdem um viele klangvolle erweitert, schon bald kamen Stimme und Floeten dazu, Maultrommel, Klangschalen, Gongs u.A., im Moment experimentiert er mit Spiel und Bau von Dudelsaecken und anderen Floeten und Instrumenten.
Max Brumberg ist es ein grosses Anliegen Menschen, durch Seminare in der Natur und durch Begegnungen, ueber intuitive Obertonmusik mit ihrer eigenen und der Natur wiederzuverbinden. Die Welt ist Klang und die natuerlichen Harmonien der Obertonmusik sind das Urmuster welches wir ueberall in Natur und Kosmos wiederfinden, die (Ton)Leiter zu uns und unseren Wurzeln.

About me: Kaasay's enthusiasm for making music with others is infectious. She is a trained vocalist known for her angelic overtone chanting that blends seamlessly with crystal singing bowls. Her artistic soundscapes have been described as “otherworldly”. They consistently shift people into relaxed states of consciousness normally only accomplished through years of meditation. She is masterful at helping people use sound to connect with their deepest dreams and take flight with renewed enthusiasm.
Kaasay says, “I am passionate about sound and music! It is so beautifully, powerfully healing. The soothing vibrations of the luminous crystal bowls have helped me overcome many significant life challenges. Singing with these bowls has been like coming home. I love helping others achieve vibrant wellness this way. Over and over, I see how crystal singing bowls help them activate the health, love, compassion, gratitude and courage within."
In 2005, Kaasay launched Luminous Tones Music to promote "Music for Health and Harmony". For years, she traveled widely leading singing workshops. She also produced two CDs that include her original music, and several music videos.
Since 2014 she has given more than 100 free crystal bowl "concerts" to the community. She's honed her sound therapy skills by working with cancer patients, pain patients, yoga students, young children, meditation groups, disabled adults, and the general public. Her sound healing work builds on 30 years of teaching and human service work in schools, universities and mental health clinics. She is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (MA, RCC) and Reiki Master who has been in private practice since 2010.

"Luminous and fascinating on a lot of different levels, “Timeless” is a brilliant convergence of improvisation, unusual, thoughtful instrumentation, sensitivity, mindfulness, and magical soundscapes..." (Dyan Garris)
"Timeless is beauty, serenity, earthy tones, colors, the sounds and sights of many different peoples of the world coming together, it is like tapping into a global spiritual vein of gold..." (Keith Hannaleck)
"...the music of Mikuskovics Baum is a vivid musical journey in traditional European music." (Folk World Magazine)
" ...the focus is on the beauty of silence and on the magic of careful instrumentation ... This creates the pleasant feeling of a tender dream journey to leave the everyday life behind." (Sonic Seducer)
"...from Transylvanian ministrel songs over Irish traditionals to Slovak shepherd songs the duo creates a sensitive sound of various cultures." (Zillo Medieval)
"...harp, horn pipe, jaw harp, overtone singing ... and floating often two-part vocal work: Whether they are travelling with "King of the fairies & The Butterfly" to Ireland or they strike up a very solemn version of Matthias Claudius´ "Evening Song" Bernhard Mikuskovics and Georg Baum know how to make us forget the hectic life..." (Miroque)
