a common space & database for harmonic overtones
About me: The uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes) discovered Raphaël in 1989 after hearing a broadcast of Liam O Flynn and Donal Lunny's concert at the Dranouter Folkfestival 1988. A few years later Raphaël became involved in jam sessions with musicians who later formed the band Shantalla. He also learned a lot from Tommy Keenan (Paddy's brother). In 1991 he started a duo called Cú Chullainn (Irish music), together with Sacha Van Loo. Later on the duo Cú Chullainn became the trio Crónán with Greet Garriau (Fluxus) as a third musician. In these bands Raphaël played the uilleann pipes as well as whistles, kantele (Finnish harp), jews harps, kaval (bulgarian flute) and sälgeflöt (swedish overtone flute). At the same time Raphaël discovered the Siberian 'throat singing' vocal styles from Tuva and the Khakass zither chatkhan.
In august 1998, he taught a 'throat singing workshop' at the Gooik Folk Music course. From then on, Crónán became the new sextet Keukkojoen. This band is specialised in many different vocal traditions from Europe and beyond. From 2001, he became one of the gaiteros in A Banda, and later on in A Contrabanda. In 2003 he replaced Jowan Merckx in some concerts with the project Profielen/Perfiles with Wannes Van De Velde, Amparo Cortes and Ialma.
Since 2004 he has been experimenting with vocal techniques from Sardinia (hopefully resulting in a new band called Tenore e Cuncordu de Marinis Santu Seminis TeCuMaSaS), and in 2006 with Chinese woodwind instruments Bawu and Hulusi. He also took up and promotes the Muchosa, one of the old style Belgian bagpipes with some microtonal possibilities which is being revived. OSUNA is a flexible project depending on the demand or personal feelings, ranging from a duo project to a quintet performing meditative listening or dance music based on tradititional vocal and instrumental music styles and improvisation.
Recently the "OSuna project" grew into a marriage between Anatolian and Siberian music, exploring the rich harmonies and dialogues between saz, tanbur and chatkhan, with surprising trips ranging from Tuvinian overtone singing, vocals from the "Mediterranean Zone", Nordic cattle calls, sean-nós songs, medieval ballads.... with sublte accompaniment of the persian drum tombak and double bass

About me: I am a sound healer, and I work as a selfemployed healer a shaman for 12 years. When I was 3 years old I saw the corona of people, animals and plants for the first time. With 13 I had a relationship with telepathic contacts. At the age of 16 I started to give physical treatment. When I was 19 I was taught to work with energies and prana, as well how to work with bodyoriented psychotherapie. I have been a theravaden buddhist monk for 2 years. Beside that I learned a lot more througout my live. Now at the age of 55 I still learn new energetic methods, I travel the other world with the help of rattles and drums. I developed an art of healing based on overtone singing, which I learned from Nikolay Oorzak, Reiki, and a shamanic extraction method.
About me: E: Nature and sound mystic enjoying to make music (as an amateur). I love the fusion of overtone singing with instruments. Or just to chant meditative.
I began to combine pictures from own experiences with own music in 2018. The small music-videos are posted in Youtube under my pseudonym Andre Töner. Music and visualization are related to another. I try to communicate a deeper but undemonstrative message with them.
D: Natur- und Klangmystiker mit viel Freude am Musizieren (nebenher als Amateur). Ich liebe die Klangverschmelzung von Obertongesang und Instrumenten. Oder ich töne meditativ vor mich hin.
Als aktuelle Ausdrucksform habe ich Anfang 2018 unter dem Pseudonym Andre Töner damit begonnen Bilder aus eigenen Erlebnissen mit eigener Musik zu kleinen Musikvideos zusammenzufügen. Vertonung und Visualisierung beziehen sich aufeinander und möchten eine tiefergehende aber unaufdringliche Botschaft vermitteln.

About me: Anthar Kharana, is a composer and multi-instrumentalist born in a small town called Ocana in the North of Colombia and years later he moved to Bogota. He grew up in a musical family and his first link with music was at the age of nine. He has been involved in many musical projects and bands, offering him a wide vision about different ways of putting together sounds and intentions, feelings and thoughts. Starting with rough punk in his early years as a result of the oppressive political situation in Colombia, to then begin training himself as a counter-tenor (highest male voice’s pitch in opera) afterwards, giving him the ability to increase his voice range and to reach high pitches that sounds like female voice.
<center><img src="http://www.antharkharana.com/Anthar/anthar-overtone-net.jpg"/></center>
After years of practice he developed the complex technique of Throat Singing, including Khoomii from Mongolia also known as Polyphonic Voice, and other overtone styles incluiding western harmonics which made an important step whilst working with Vibrational Sound Healing. As part of that process, together with his passion for different ancient cultures, he started to investigate about the power of sound and how it generates changes in many different ways and levels of conciousness.
Anthar is also an educator and has been touring the UK facilitating Traditional Colombian drumming and Tribal Voice workshops in different festivals and schools. He teaches and shares the roots of Colombian traditions and rhythms of the Indigenous people who were living (and still) on the Carribbean Coast of Colombia and got mixed with African slaves brought with the Spanish colony at the end of the 16th century.

About me: (or what i am looking for in music)
to work with iron, sometimes in a forge, otherwise as a musician and composer
the difference between click, tock and bing (i am attracted by slowness, or call it laziness, that causes a microscopical view (not only) on sounds and noises)
the visible/tactile aspect of distinct sounds or the audible aspect of shape and material (means also that strange theater of abstract numbers called music and how it touches our imagination, senses or moods, how it creates visible forms)
the mathematical view on music or the musical view on numbers (helps me to find the "scapes", sounds, rhythms and harmonies wich i desire to listen)
each place and each point in time has anything distinctive, each landscape or situation is represented by remarkable sounds, often they reveal a surprising musical quality (how to approach such moments?)
our audible environment contains information about structure, nature, culture (how to explore and integrate this in musical concepts?)
the full range of different sounds we are able to produce with our voice(s)
(we are living in an age/place of abundance) esp. the hidden treasure in polyphonic or contrapuntal overtone singing
