5.0 out of 5 stars
Timbre songs of Turkic peoples,
By
This review is from: Uch Sumer (Audio CD)
Bolot and Nohon are remarkable singers from the Altai Autonomous Republic, Russia. Similar to the now-familiar style of throat singing from Tuva and Mongolia, the Altais use the extended techniques in slightly a different way. There seems to be a bit more switching around between techniques during the course of a single song. This extends to the beautiful instrumental performances as well. The rarely heard shoor is described as "a long, smooth, hollow pipe 70 cm long." Track 13 is a solo performance on this instrument wherein Bolot combines his voice with the instrumental sound creating a unique adventure fluctuating amongst heard and unheard pitch, noise, and melody; the instrument functions as both a voice modifier and a sound-producer. A similar instrument is found among the Ainu of Japan. The whole album is beautiful. Highly recommended.

not what I was expecting,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Uch Sumer (Audio CD)
I bought this CD looking for music of ancient Sumer.
Bolot and Nohon perform music and throat singing from Altai (an autonomous repubic inside Russia). It isn't what I expected at all. Still, its not bad. |
