Huun Huur Tu at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley

http://huunhuurtu.com/ I was one of a lucky few invited to hear the incredible music of Huun Huur Tu at a private concert presented by Vladimir Oboronko and Jeffrey Wood. This video is a brief clip of one of the performances I witnessed that night. This was my first introduction to Tuvan music, and what amazed me most (aside from how melodic and accessible their songs were) was hearing the Tuvan overtone singing. It blew my mind to hear two distinct notes sung at the same time. The top note sounded exactly like a wooden flute. Bizarre. And extremely cool. They performed music from their upcoming album "Klassika," which I highly recommend getting when it comes out in early 2009. For more info, visit http://www.myspace.com/huunhuurtu2

Here's some background from their site:

Huun-Huur-Tu (Tuvan: xün xürtü) literally means "sun propeller." The vertical separation of light rays that often occurs just after sunrise or just before sunset. For the members of Huun-Huur-Tu, the refraction of light that produces these rays seems analogous to the "refraction" of sound that produces articulated harmonics in Tuvan throat-singing.
