  • No disrespect, but note to camera operator: Pull back, and hold still. A 3/4 shot with no panning, zooming, etc. would work just fine.

  • @sbjames1000 no disrespect taken at all, we just have different preferances in our camera operation, although i would have preferred having an tripod

  • This was so beautiful and so sad. I felt so sad, but so calm. It was beautiful

  • @thecircusorganizer

    LOL! what is your nationality?

  • "You will find my remains under the steep, overhanging cliff. Hang my skull on an old larch tree. Make a musical instrument from the wood of that tree, and call it 'igil.' Cover the igil with skin from my face; make the strings and the bow from the hair of my tail. When you start to play the igil, my double will come down from the Upper World." - He's crying for his horse, and the igil's crying with him.

  • @grandoldbassist you're saying this as a joke yes?

  • @Xideorama I'm hoping this is AN typo.

    FTFY

  • seasick steve

  • @tiowey  An Tripod? I'm hoping this is a typo.

  • I think, over all, its very nice, and, it seems like some medicine for my soul, even if I am not accusomed to the words or culture.

  • It is the best Ancient Turkish music...

    This enstrument's name is ''igil''... This enstrument calls that ''ıklıg'' in Türkiye.

    igil (or ıklıg) means ''oklu'' (which enstrument has got arrow)

    My english is bad enough but I think that you are understandig...

    Tuvans are Turks. Turks are Tuvan. We are GokTuk's child. We are power of the central asia and siberia and ''Turan''....
