Excellent! I recognize this one! I've been throat singing for a decade and have recently been taught by Soriah, a local who sings professionally and has won competitions back in Tuva

@Pteromandias 5 дней назад

I do throat singing too, but only covers of Taylor Swift songs. This genre of Tuvan folk music is new to me.

I have a special relationship with nyckelharpa thanks to my old classmate Åsa Jinder, who was made an official Swedish national player of nyckelharpa at the amazing age of 14... Her father also was one of the renowned builders of the instrument (Curt Einar Jinder, if I recall correctly)... ...Time flies, memory limps... Also a very big fan of Tuvan music, EPI Enkhjargal Dandarvanschig This piece, so beautiful! Per aspera ad astra ars longa vita brevis

Perfect for this morning. Sitting back before making breakfast. Very beautiful and so well play. Thought back to the first time I heard You on RU-vid. You were in a little clump of what looked like Aspen trees playing a medley of 3 Irish tunes. That was a bunch of years ago. You've grown.

Lovely. Melancholy, but sweet. Like having a good memory of someone who isn't here anymore.

@BoarhideGaming 14 дней назад

You are close, but not quite. It’s certainly not a sweet song. Kongurei is a mourning song, warriors returning from war to see their home destroyed or forever changed. Where is my herd of horses gone? Where are the homes of my people? It is an old, traditional song and many of the nomadic peoples from Tuva, Mongolia, the Altai ranges, the Kazakhs and surrounding lands have a version of it in their own language, but the point remains. It’s a song that may be more prevalent now than ever, with the traditional ways of life receding and mines and industry destroying and poisoning much of Central Asia.

Hey awesome sound here. I am Nyckelharpa player in Missouri. Its nice to hear your music, been following you for a few years. I hope the Nyckelharpa scene grows here in the midwest.

@EmelieWaldken 16 дней назад

I hope so too ! It can be tough to try building a scene, it most often takes years with little success, but it can be oh so worth it ! Good luck

@jamescoughlin6357 16 дней назад

@@EmelieWaldken Would you ever tour in the midwest? If so, I'd be happy to go to one of your shows. I bought my Nyckelharpa from doctor in Minnesota, he actually made it himself. But there a lot of folk music festivals in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and Missouri. If you decide to, that would be cool.

I am actually working on a clawhammer cover of Jämtländsk Brudmarsch, which is one of my favorite scandi tunes. I was looking to buy a nyckelharpa, but they're prohibitively expensive (plus their strings make them even more so!)

@@EmelieWaldken I can do a little bit of subtone singing but not as good as an experienced throat singer. My overtone singing is even not as good as my subtone singing. I don’t do it often because I think that you can damage your vocal cords if you do it incorrectly.

It was a long piece or did you make it this long? In any case, I love me some longer songs and this one didn't sound repetitive, despite having just a single instrument and no lyrics. Great arrangement.

@EmelieWaldken 16 дней назад

Thank you ! It's a traditional song that every singer/band performs differently. It's often quite long, with the main theme repeated many, many times. I chose to keep that main style and really take time to let that theme shine, while also adding my own variations to it.
