a common space & database for harmonic overtones
About me: I started as a clarinetist playing classical music, and took up saxophone, studied jazz and composition, then continued to try and learn other instruments, focusing on the jews harp in particular. I perform many styles of music today, and also like to do audio engineering when I have the chance. Here are the regular bands I currently play in:

</ul>
<b>The Macrotones</b> - <a href="http://www.macrotones.com/">website</a>
<ul>
<li>A 10+ piece Afrobeat and funk/groove ensemble. Less relevant to this community I guess, but still a fun band.</li>
</ul>

"Luminous and fascinating on a lot of different levels, “Timeless” is a brilliant convergence of improvisation, unusual, thoughtful instrumentation, sensitivity, mindfulness, and magical soundscapes..." (Dyan Garris)
"Timeless is beauty, serenity, earthy tones, colors, the sounds and sights of many different peoples of the world coming together, it is like tapping into a global spiritual vein of gold..." (Keith Hannaleck)
"...the music of Mikuskovics Baum is a vivid musical journey in traditional European music." (Folk World Magazine)
" ...the focus is on the beauty of silence and on the magic of careful instrumentation ... This creates the pleasant feeling of a tender dream journey to leave the everyday life behind." (Sonic Seducer)
"...from Transylvanian ministrel songs over Irish traditionals to Slovak shepherd songs the duo creates a sensitive sound of various cultures." (Zillo Medieval)
"...harp, horn pipe, jaw harp, overtone singing ... and floating often two-part vocal work: Whether they are travelling with "King of the fairies & The Butterfly" to Ireland or they strike up a very solemn version of Matthias Claudius´ "Evening Song" Bernhard Mikuskovics and Georg Baum know how to make us forget the hectic life..." (Miroque)
About me: The uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes) discovered Raphaël in 1989 after hearing a broadcast of Liam O Flynn and Donal Lunny's concert at the Dranouter Folkfestival 1988. A few years later Raphaël became involved in jam sessions with musicians who later formed the band Shantalla. He also learned a lot from Tommy Keenan (Paddy's brother). In 1991 he started a duo called Cú Chullainn (Irish music), together with Sacha Van Loo. Later on the duo Cú Chullainn became the trio Crónán with Greet Garriau (Fluxus) as a third musician. In these bands Raphaël played the uilleann pipes as well as whistles, kantele (Finnish harp), jews harps, kaval (bulgarian flute) and sälgeflöt (swedish overtone flute). At the same time Raphaël discovered the Siberian 'throat singing' vocal styles from Tuva and the Khakass zither chatkhan.
In august 1998, he taught a 'throat singing workshop' at the Gooik Folk Music course. From then on, Crónán became the new sextet Keukkojoen. This band is specialised in many different vocal traditions from Europe and beyond. From 2001, he became one of the gaiteros in A Banda, and later on in A Contrabanda. In 2003 he replaced Jowan Merckx in some concerts with the project Profielen/Perfiles with Wannes Van De Velde, Amparo Cortes and Ialma.
Since 2004 he has been experimenting with vocal techniques from Sardinia (hopefully resulting in a new band called Tenore e Cuncordu de Marinis Santu Seminis TeCuMaSaS), and in 2006 with Chinese woodwind instruments Bawu and Hulusi. He also took up and promotes the Muchosa, one of the old style Belgian bagpipes with some microtonal possibilities which is being revived. OSUNA is a flexible project depending on the demand or personal feelings, ranging from a duo project to a quintet performing meditative listening or dance music based on tradititional vocal and instrumental music styles and improvisation.
Recently the "OSuna project" grew into a marriage between Anatolian and Siberian music, exploring the rich harmonies and dialogues between saz, tanbur and chatkhan, with surprising trips ranging from Tuvinian overtone singing, vocals from the "Mediterranean Zone", Nordic cattle calls, sean-nós songs, medieval ballads.... with sublte accompaniment of the persian drum tombak and double bass

About me: I am a sound healer, and I work as a selfemployed healer a shaman for 12 years. When I was 3 years old I saw the corona of people, animals and plants for the first time. With 13 I had a relationship with telepathic contacts. At the age of 16 I started to give physical treatment. When I was 19 I was taught to work with energies and prana, as well how to work with bodyoriented psychotherapie. I have been a theravaden buddhist monk for 2 years. Beside that I learned a lot more througout my live. Now at the age of 55 I still learn new energetic methods, I travel the other world with the help of rattles and drums. I developed an art of healing based on overtone singing, which I learned from Nikolay Oorzak, Reiki, and a shamanic extraction method.
About me: E: Nature and sound mystic enjoying to make music (as an amateur). I love the fusion of overtone singing with instruments. Or just to chant meditative.
I began to combine pictures from own experiences with own music in 2018. The small music-videos are posted in Youtube under my pseudonym Andre Töner. Music and visualization are related to another. I try to communicate a deeper but undemonstrative message with them.
D: Natur- und Klangmystiker mit viel Freude am Musizieren (nebenher als Amateur). Ich liebe die Klangverschmelzung von Obertongesang und Instrumenten. Oder ich töne meditativ vor mich hin.
Als aktuelle Ausdrucksform habe ich Anfang 2018 unter dem Pseudonym Andre Töner damit begonnen Bilder aus eigenen Erlebnissen mit eigener Musik zu kleinen Musikvideos zusammenzufügen. Vertonung und Visualisierung beziehen sich aufeinander und möchten eine tiefergehende aber unaufdringliche Botschaft vermitteln.
