As a composer of overtone choir music, I am looking for this type of choir with at least a few capable polyphonic singers who understand the numbered notation system. I have several pieces available that do not fall into the category of ethereal, new age or meditative music. There are a lot of quick paced rhythmic passages in many cases.
For some of these, even if there are no overtone singers in the choir, the overtone parts may be replicated by having the harmonics sung in regular singing voice (in lower range, of course).
I would like to record some of these pieces through the internet, building them up with individual tracks. This can be done with any temporarily missing voices filled in with Sibelius software voices (choral library vowel sounds). If anyone is interested in participating, please let me know.
Another milestone in technology is occurring on Nov 20th, with an internet real-time concert using musicians spread all over the world. This is definitely something to strive towards in the overtone community.
