Egschiglen
About me: The band Egschiglen ("Beautiful melody") was founded in 1991 by master students of the conservatory of Ulaanbaatar. Still today 4 founding members are the heart of the group. From the very beginning, the musicians are focusing on contemporary music of Mongolia and searching systematically for the sound dimensions of this repertory with their traditional instruments and the central asian vocal technics (overtone and throat singing)
.
The music of a country is formed by its landscape and the way of life of its people. Mongolia, in the heart of Asia, is a vast country, roughly five times the size of Germany. Endless graslands in the south envelope into the barren beauty of the Gobi desert. From the snow-covered Altai and Changaj mountains clear rivers run through forests and flatlands. A large part of the more than 2 million Mongolians still live as nomads to this very day, in harmony and rhythm with nature, and together with their "five jewels": horses, camels, cattle, sheep and goats. The music of the Mongolians breathes the freedom and power of the simple way of life close to the nature.
Magnificant lucidity - is the fruit of years of research and travel between the conservatory of Ulaan Baatar, capital of Mongolia, and Röthenbach a. d. Pegnitz, small village in Germany. In this most southern German area of Franconia, the Egschiglen musicians regularly erected their traditional yurts to be nearer to European concert halls. What a distance they have covered since 1991 when the group, firmly rooted in tradition, was founded by a handfull students with commited contemporary attitudes!
Their first performances were modern Mongolian compositions written by fellow compatriots of the Soviet school. Their sucesses in the West were few due to audiences mostly accustomed to traditional folk music.
Since those beginnings, Egschiglen has transformed the art of folk music, far from native the grasslands and the traditional shamanistic and lamaistic forms such as epics and odes, survived miraculously 60 years of socialism.
It’s time for a walk through the labyrinth of vocal acrobatics: the diaphonic - the epic singing, or the melodic. Aditionally there are the try outs with experimental sounds of the -horse head violin, dulcimer, bass, and the two strings luthe.
Over the time the group has developped a unic vocal and instrumental language of their own. Their compositions and orchestrations reflect a fluent transformation of their native songs into magnificant contemporary music. Egschiglen’s concerts have involved into sparkling symphonies, expressions of pure freedom, always remaining true to its spiritual and nomadic roots.
Today the musical and poetic universe of these mongolian nomads continues to expand and grow. Their music reflects the excitement and joy with which these eternal nomads travel.

Sas Bullock
About me: Although trained as a an actor and singer, following my childhood passions into adulthood, my path took an unexpected diversion and guided me into the world of spirit, healing, heart, toning, frequency,vibration and the Language of Light.
My tones and resonant frequencies began coming through me about 3 years ago, and although no formal training in overtone singing, overtones comes through naturally whilst I am bringing through resonant tones and sounds, albeit randomly, so I am wanting to develop the technique so I can expand upon what I am already doing and be able to share it with my clients by explaining and showing how the overtones are produced and projected.
It all began whilst I was playing with vocal tones in my bathroom one day, when I noticed my cat wrapping herself around my legs as she often did when I was sounding, she seemed to beam out this thought, telepathically communicated to me that she wanted me to direct some sound towards her, I thought strange, but when I looked down at her, I saw that she had a poorly eye which she couldn't open and was sealed shut with a green goo, so following her request, I intentionally directed a variety of different tones towards her eye. After about 4 minutes, she turned tail and walked out and down the stairs.
When I joined her a few minutes later, she was in the kitchen by her bowl, asking for food, as I bent down to speak to her I saw that her eye was fully open and the green goo gone, it looked totally normal, restored.
I realised then, that these sounds were definitely worth investigating further.
This incident gave me the courage and confidence to begin sharing my sounds with other people. I received incredibly positive feedback, I was quite taken aback, I was amazed; the impact on their emotional and physical states was a real eye-opener( pardon the pun) into the potential healing power of sound.
Over the last few years I have focused upon integrated my training as a Heart Intelligence Coach with sound, as a way to open and connect with the infinite self, giving wider access to an expanded awareness and more choice.
I now combine facilitating workshops and courses, under the title of "Activate Your Vocal Power", with 1-2-1 bespoke sound healings, sound meditations and journeys, performances and demonstrations.
I very recently held my first sound choir meeting in a beautiful, very old chapel with fantastic acoustics. Although it is relatively very early steps on my sound journey and exploration, I am really very excited about the limitless potential that beckons.
I am delighted to have been guided to this site and community, and look forward to sharing our inspiration and experiences.
