About me:

I am working as an overtonesinger since 1991 and learned singing overtones from 1990 to 1992. My teachers were Siegfried Eberlein, Reinhard Schimmelpfeng and Sangit Waldner. I had my first appearance as an overtonesinger in Germany at the "Musicum"-jazzfestival in Brunswick, founded the bands "Pangaea" and "Project Pan", performed on several occasions, for instance the "Masala Weltbeat-Festival" Hannover and on German television 1995. 2004 the singer and guitarplayer Philip Heinemeyer, the Bodhran-player Niall McQuaid and me founded the Band "Aurora Borealis". But she just existed for one concert (january the 24th 2004 at Camphill Community, Ballytoban), because my attempt to settle in Ireland failed. Since 1999 I sing solo and also perform within Europe, for instance on the "Spirit of Voice"-Festival in Galway/Ireland.


Instruments:

Overtone Singing, Shrutibox, Harmonium, Khomus (Tuvinian jew's harp), Didgeridoo, Singing-bowls


Influences:

Various Tuvinian overtonesingers, Huun-Huur-Tu, Yat-Kha, Oleg Kuular, Sangit Waldner, traditional Irish and Scottish Folk.

    Hallo Frank,
    jetzt stehst Du auch hier auf meiner Freundesliste, ich war ganz entsetzt, als ich Dich da gar nicht gefunden hatte. Dein Abschlußstück hat mein Aufnahmeleiter leider nicht mehr auf die MD gekriegt, die restlichen Aufnahmen habe ich auch noch gar nicht gehört.
    Grüße und bis bald
    Detlef

    Hey Frank!
    Now I'm staying in Germany. No plan to return to Canada. Leaving Aachen on Wed to perform in Prague this weekend. I would like to get together sometime after mid-July. Still deciding where to stay then.

    Hello Frank,
    thanks a lot for your support as »my translator and revisor« of some important texts - for example the Community Guidelines. That was a great help to construct this centrepiece of our network.
    Yours jm
