Kronos Quartet & Tanya Tagaq - A String Quartet In Her Throat

"A String Quartet in Her Throat," directed by Mark Lawrence, documents the collaboration between Kronos Quartet and Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq on a piece called Nunavut. The project began in January 2006 as Kronos and Tagaq came together in the Yukon Territory and created a 15-minute piece that can be described as an "intimate improvisation."

Nunavut is part of an evening-length program of the same name that explores the clarity, directness, and unique relationships of music and sounds from the North. More info can be found at www.kronosquartet.org.

This isn't even Throat singing. This wanna be "give real Inuit Woman a bad name" She was a wanna be in High school and still is a wanna be today. I have nothing nice to say about you Tanya. And when ppl mention your name I tell them shes a wanna be who give real Inuit woman a bad name.

Structurally, this is a very interesting way of playing with music rather than going with conventions or western classical music. Or moreso contemporary music with heavily autotuned singing. This is the rawest form it can take. I like it. Screw the haters.

A little more sophisticated than "back tuva future."
