Hello everyone,



I have been trying to promote the Mongolian art of throat singing here in Holland for the past few years. Now it is time to come with my first CD with the main focus on Mongolian throat singing!



Most of the songs are sung in Dutch language, telling stories about family, nature, love and memories. The cd is named "Herinnering" ("Memory", "Дурсамж").

Two people from different cities met in the summer of 2010 – Svetlana Sukhanova, a Krasnoyarsk pianist, and a jew's harp player from Irkutsk – Vladimir Markov.

The subject of this blog is collaboration online. With overtones of course. The site I use is kompoz.com

You can find almost anything here in terms of style. There are some quite accomplished producers, engineers, composers, etc. here, so don't worry about the quality. Of course, there are some wash outs, but…

This is a text I wrote in the aftermath of the alumni meeting of Wolfgang Saus intensive overtone workshop participants; not a sophisticated theory but just some thoughts scrambled together to stimulate a conversation.
