Very nice. Does the audio include one of the Koryak cylinders? I thought the first song sounded familiar, or is it all Chukchi and Yukaghir stuff.

The songs are Sakha & Yukagir,recorded by me, Jochelson & others.This is a stereo mix; the full version is wide-screen,5.1 surround. The total multimedia installation includes 3 films, large-scale paintings and photographs,& 25 independent channels of sound. 1 channel is dedicated to Koryak songs. There are other videos and audio stations throughout the exhibition.

There's also an Even chant and a Yukagirized Russian song in the mix.

This made me think about the future of our people on Earth. It fills me with hope and happiness that one day our people will explore these plains of existence en masse.

It also inspired the thought that now is a very special time for the people of Earth. And that by following the Shamanic path, I (for one) will possibly be able to exist in these realms after my death - in order to witness this magnificent time and be of some help to future generations in that way.

Inspiring, for sure :)

Wow, in my culture, we believe in "Cuaj Tshooj Ntug" or "9 Realms of Heaven." Thank you for sharing. Our shamans travel between the sky and earth............... love it.

These icons are shamanistic Turks. Icons are the Turks living in Central Asia and Siberia.They are the lord of the fire. Turks are great with him: Ruby, Tuva, Chuvash, Tatar, Uigur, Altai...

God bless the Turks
