A demonstration of Tuvan throat-singing techniques, including: Kargiraa – From an onomatopoeic word that means in Tuvan, “To Wheeze,” this form of singing is characterized by an extremely low fundamental pitch, and open vowel sounds such as “aaah,” “oooh,” and “eh." Sigit – From Tuvan, “Whistle.” In this kind of singing, the fundamental is notably higher than in Kargiraa, and the vocal production is highly tensed. Khoomei – This style is sung in the same register as sigit, but with less laryngeal tension. |

David Williams opens with his homemade PVC didgeridoo. David Horn and Jason Freidenfelds exchange wistful melodies on unkeyed clarinet and trombone. Then David Williams sets the rhythm with his banana (which is actually tuned to B-flat; listen closely), and Jason sets up a funky low groove, which David Horn joins on doumbek. For the "Epic Ending," Jason produces multiphonics by singing and playing simultaneously, producing a third note as an overtone. David and David enter on doumbek and bodhran for the transporting finale. |
