"H₁yaǵnós" (meaning offering, to worship, to sacrifice to a god, in reconstructed Proto Indo European) is a triptych of polyrhythmic throatsinging which is based on a two ½ years linguistics research about language genealogy.
I discovered along the way a lot of cool things including Proto Indo European language, and it slowly evolves to this EP.
There's three part: Proto Indo European, Sumerian and Vedic Sanskrit.
The concept is to revive some the oldest language possible, and to do so I had to find some of the oldest written material. And finally to blend it with a polyrhythmic structure of drums. I had several ideas so I decided to make a big one in three part.
I dedicate this work to the Great Spirit, as an humble offering.
Please welcome this humble work :)
PART I Proto Indo European
"H₃rḗḱs dei̯u̯ós-kwe" ("The King and the God") is an adaptation of a short dialogue written in Proto-Indo-European. This version is by linguist Andrew Byrd. It's also the first part of a triptych.
Proto-Indo-European is a hypothetical language considered to be the unique origin of today's Indo-European languages. Linguists have partially reconstructed this possible protolanguage on the basis of similarities between languages that have often disappeared but are real and known, and partially on the basis of well-identified transformation patterns, particularly phonological ones.
Since the Kurgan hypothesis put forward by Marija Gimbutas in 1956, the Yamna culture has been associated with late Proto-Indo-Europeans (PIE) and proposed as the strongest 'candidate' for being the home of Proto-Indo-European. The Yamnaya lived around 5000 years ago (3000 BC).

PART II Sumerian
"Ninkasi" is an adaptation of a hymn dedicated to goddess Ninkasi, recounting the stages in the brewing process. The text is written in Sumerian, a language spoken at least 4900 years ago (2900 BC) in Mesopotamia. It was also one of the first script to appear.
The Hymn to Ninkasi consists of two songs engraved on clay tablets dating from the 18th century BC. The first song describes step by step the process of brewing Sumerian beer. The second describes the vessels in which the beer is brewed and served. All this is done by the goddess herself

PART III Vedic Sanskrit
"Somārudrā" is an adaptation of the 74th hymn of 6th Mandala from Rig Veda.
The Rig Veda is a collection of sacred hymns from ancient India composed in Vedic Sanskrit. It is one of the four great canonical texts of Hinduism known as the Vedas. It is one of the oldest existing texts in the Indo-European language. According to Indologists, philologists and linguists, it was written between 1500 and 900 BC.
The Vedic people who spoke this language are the ancestors of the Indian and Iranian peoples and lived 3,500 years ago (1500 BC).
