Hi Kathy,
love this song.
Nice to see you on the Overtone Music Network.
Your Harmonicovertones webpage is fascinating.
Long time no see, when did we meet?
Winnipeg 94?
Best wishes,
Bernard Kleikamp
You will probably not remember me, but I was on one of your workshops in Finland in 2001 (or something) after having already sung overtones for about a year. It's a pity that I haven't practiced overtone singing actively since 2005, but I should start again. I will even visit your home town in a bit less than 3 weeks (my second visit to Vancouver)!
Hey Kiva,
I love your music and the title of your wonderful website: »harmonic overtones for all« could be the best slogan for this www.overtone-network.org - hope to see you soon and listen your music live in Berlin some day! - your friend on MySpace and on Overtone Music Network.
Cheers,
Jens
Thanks for the reply! I have to check out your music too. I will perhaps also add a piece (the only commercially available song where I sing overtones, and which I also composed myself) to my page one of these days. :)
If you ever visit Finland on your coming trips, please send me a message. I hope more women would join this weird group of us people who sing overtones, it's always nice to have women around!
Hi Kiva!
Nice crossing! Noted you, strangely because of your latest photograph with some friends from Bitti. Apparently you even sang with my friends of Olla Vogala... you were also at Kieku and even made it to Tuva. Waw! Thanks to this network found you. Keep pulsing :-)
To Your trip to Czech Rep.: I have asked whole overtonechoir Spektrum. They will ask their relatives and friends... ... and we definitely will find Thee some good accomodation soon ! I will see to it that there will be an internet connection and some older computer.
Hi Kiva,
thanks for Your message. You are welcome and maybe we can arrange a gathering or something like that here in Berlin. I met Troy here in Berlin and Miroslav and Vlad are living in this town too. See you soon, Jens
Dear Kiva,
thank you for inviting me to the group of your friends. I accept it with a great pleasure!
I know you will visit my country now, but unfortunately I am now abroad - till July 14. And Immediatelly after my coming home I will go to the holidays with my Michael (he is 11 years old), I promissed it to him and it is very important for him (because we live not together and I do not have much time for him). So I cannot change my plans now.
Allthough i would like to meet you, it seems momentally almost impossible! I wrote to my choir about your concert in Prague and I hope they will come there to meet you.
In dates form 10. till 17.August there will be working week with my choir again, Stuart Hinds will be our guest there. Couldnt you visit us?
After 18. August I am again at home - in Liberec and there will be choir festival www.bohemiacantat.cz (which was grounded by me some years ago). It could be pleasure to meet you in this days by me at home - as my guest. (I hope I could arrange a very small concert of you on on this festival).
Hello Kiva, thanks for your new two songs. They are full of power and really amazing. I love them. I am addicted to these tunes. Hope to see you soon.
Thanks,
- Jens
thanks Kiva for offering your friendship. Your work sounds interesting and promising. Hope we can meet on the real plane! I am just off for my 3 weeks Greece project with aquasoundfloating and nature experiences in soundscapes... after that a week with my overtonechoire and concert in Hamburg 1st August and Hamsafestival in Sweden. Im greatful to have the chance to do all this.
Harmonic greetings and all the best for you,
love and light in sacred sound,
Christian
Dear Kiva, it could be very nice, when you could to spend some time with us.
We will live in a small school in the village Sloup v cechach (it is about 80 km north from Prague). There will be no festival - it is only a meeting for Spektrum with Stuart (he will be from 10. to 15. 8 there) and small group of friends from Europa - about 20-25 people., We will study a new repertoir and sing a whole time. Maybe there will be a small concert on thuersday (in a small church in a village).
In case you will come, we will try a little to change the program so, that we can "to use your presence". It coluld be very nice meeting.
Bye, bye
Jan
Hi Kiva,
excuse my late answer. Many thanks for your invention. For some reasons I had no internet access. Hope you had/have a good time in Aachen, Germany, Europe.
Ralf
Dear Kiva,
It was nice to meet you!
Dear Kiva, thanks for nice days with you.
Here is the contact to Terezka: t.stankova@atlas.cz, I wish you good luck!
Ahoj Kiva! Nice to meet you here! You was true, a music group Kackala, I told you when we were calling - it`s 17.th in Prague and is part of that festival A Capella, you recomended me. So, thats nice we can meet there! See you!
dear kiva, ja I am very thankfull for your beautiuful comment, for sure I would love to meet you once you are in Berlin, and for me it is very easy to be in Prague, this is my beloved town, so we will see where the movement goes next, I wish you all beautiful things for your music. with warmness iman
Hi Kiva,
Lovely to hear from you ! I visited your website a year ago .....& it was great to look over your updated website yesterday. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your music soon.
Now that you're living in Prague I guess that you know Filip Rydlo ? He recently sent me a video link of a rehearsal of my choir piece 'Past Life Melodies' which includes overtone singing .... Did you happen to hear it ?
Have you written & recorded any pieces for choir which include overtone singing ? I'm looking forward to hearing much more overtone singing in many different genres now that I've joined the OMN !!
Have a great day !
Sonic Blessings, Sarah
Hi Kiva!
Thanks for your comment. I could come to Dodo House on Nov. 17th.
I know Dodo House & Rainer a little. It would be good if we can meet before, my phone Nr. is +49 (0)151-18136887. I have some different pitches of Tabla, maybe choose two.
Wish the best, greetings Mario
Hi Kiva!
All pitches/ keys will be probably possible on Tabla. That day I´m on work, don´t know when it´s finish, but I´ll ask Rainer from Dodo-house when you´re about to come.
Best greetings, Mario
hi kiva! thank you for your quick answer! yes come to vienna, any time...
