yodeling and overtones

Posted by kiva simova on November 21, 2010 at 15:00

I'm currently creating some very specific notated exercises for combining yodeling with overtones (SATB), using 2 completely different approaches.
The best I've heard in this area is Christian Zehnder, who has cleverly woven his national Swiss tradition into it. I'd like to open some discussion about this topic- any experience with overtone yodeling or fresh new ideas?

Anyway, in a yodel surfing expedition, found this completely amazing blog site 'Yodel Heaven', which has a huge amount of rare (downloadable!) mp3s from all over the world, including a bunch of overtone and throat singing tracks. (Hint) You'll find Arthur Miles there too!

A bigger event with these yodlers will be great. I am not in contact with Christel. But I that her teacher's name is Doreen Kutzke from the Jodelschule Kreuzberg - I should practice yodeling maybe too because it is an important tradition of my homeland, the Harz mountains ...

Yes, it was Christel Eckert. We shared teachings together. I think her teacher was there also, but I forget her name. I'd love to organize some bigger event in Berlin involving these yodelers.
