Hi, Dean,

I missed the boat on this one! I've only just discovered and joined the site. I'm also a rank amateur with a strong interest in the Gyuto chanting technique rather than a broad musical perspective. I haven't got any sample recordings of my own sound to link from the site yet but I suppose I should put something up soon.

Anyway, Jens Mügge mentioned you so I thought I'd just say hello.

Cheers,

V.

  Hi Vicki, Welcome to OMN and our terrific collection of sound explorers. Like you I also find the Gyuto chanting is one of many highlights. I can speak very highly of Jens who is responsible for all of this and many others on the network. In what country do you do most of your singing?
  
  Best, Dean

Hi Marco,

Good questions - I'm just starting this so I'll learn some answers as things develop. At the moment I'm confident of working with MP4s but if they work in other formats then fine. One email is fine and so is more. I look forward to seeing your entry/ies.

  Ok Dean,
  sorry for my questions but they can be useful for all:
  
  does exist a text/rule for submissions, a particular form, or writing about interesting will be enough?
  For example: Hi, I am .... and I am interested to send to you my video clip for the Bonsai Book of Overtone Singing project.
  
  Is it right?
  
  Thanks

Hi Dean,
it is very interesting, so people have to send only 1 email to magicsounds@mac.com, or more?
Only MP4 videos?
