you also can make morse code out af a constant bleep and break the beep inbetween. I think he meant that kind of morse ;)

I made the cold calling people listen to this until they hang up.

Just for clarification, Longsong should be compared to Kulning or Yodeling, not to (just for kicks) Western Opera. It isn't meant to serve the same purpose. There are many kinds of Mongolian music, and this is just one of them. It has a very specific context, which distinguishes it from Khoomei and other singing styles (which by the way sound almost entirely different). Melikey.

You know why they must sing it over vast empty pastures! Look up the Inner Mongolian song 'Sixty Elms' - there's a fabulous video of one of the most famous Urtyn Duu (Long Song) singers

[halfrek]

morse code? that is a series of quiet tapping noises-I can't figure out how you got that out of the video.
