an electronic-ish rock-ish type groove played on the "igil" with some digital effects and Moog analog filters. The igil is a traditional Tuvan folk instrument, traditionally played acoustically and used to accompany Throat Singing. This igil was made in Tuva by Aldar Tamdyn of the Tuvan throatsinging group Chirgilchin. Music played by John Pascuzzi of "A Single Thread"

What interval are the two strings from each other if played open?

[oddmusic]

They are played a 5th apart, in this case the low note is C and higher note is G. Sometimes I use D and A, and once in awhile tune them to a 4th.

[alubeam]

it's good shit, what kind of effects are you running? i hear wah, delay, and a really smooth clipping on the overdrive. anything else you do for that particular sound? (other than the natural properties of the instruments of course)

[oddmusic]

sorry for the late reply, I running it through an AdrenaLinn guitar processor.

[SeRoAnthem]

Kinda similar to "Ignition" Don't you think?

[oddmusic]

Yeah, a little too similar :) This one came first, but I liked Ignition a lot better.

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME

Oh my gosh! Could you imagine Mozart trying to write all that down? I believe it would have driven him mad. Ha ha!! My friend, fantastic!!!! Loved it. Can you tell?

[greenham1]

bloody hell... this sounds amazing, great sound. any eps or demos?

[xXMMDMaDhOuSeXx]

Sooooo electro! This is some real art, you know that? I'd love to hear more of this semi-electro Igil music!

[koenigcollectibles]

You are a genius!!!

[deuxtubes]

Very nice, thanks for share us ! I am a musician in Paris and I should like to buy and learn the igil. Could you tell me where I can buy an Igil and if the cords are from horsehair (if yes where can I find thelm) or other please.

[Razielmn]

i smell nomadic chill kkkk. Great going dude. Wish you best of the best from Mongolia!

[GreatBigSlide]

If there weren't the electronic sounding beat and little synth sounds I think I'd like it a lot more. Sounds like it was made on GarageBand or something

Not trying to put it down, cause it's pretty wicked. Just seems a little cheesy if you pay attention to anything other than the Igil at points.

It definitely sounds awesome through those effects though

@GuildOfAbundance um what?

[learnmyname123]

when i first heard the Beat i was like "this sounds lame".... luckly for me i kept listening.... i was VERY VERY wrong... this was the most Melodic thing i have heard in a while... this was really actually inspirational... i really enjoyed it..... i watched it like 8 times, i think its safe to say you are EPIC

[Rahknor]

Simply breathtaking. Such a fun adventure for the senses to embark upon.

[DamonPenn]

This is one of the singular most epic things Ive ever seen. I want an igil so bad!
