About me:

Aionigma is an ensemble dedicated to overtone singing & overtone music based in Austria. It was founded in 2015 by Austrian overtone singer & multiinstrumentalist Bernhard Mikuskovics and initially appeared in front of the public at famous pilgrimage church Maria Wörth at Carinthia on Juli 9th 2016 and on Juli 8th 2017 The art-word "Aionigma" is a creative combination of two ancient Greek words "Aion" and "Ainigma": While "aion" stands for eternity "ainigma" means as much as mystery, phenomenon or secret. Composed the meaning of Aionigma" is something like infinite mystery or infinite secret. This perfectly describes the work of creativity in connection with the mystery of the overtones as parts of nature and harmonic existence in all dimensions and in all aspects of being
