KHOOMEI - A present from the magnificent ground TUVA

From the Asian republic of TUVA, the amazing style of overtone singing has finally been properly captured as a mystical and marvelous sample library, along with the traditional Tuvan stringed instruments ‹Igil› and ‹Doshpuluur›.

In the Republic of TUVA, the mountain basin is populated with lakes and rivers. The inspiring landscape is home to the powerful and beautiful voices of ‹Khoomei›.

A long-awaited ‹Khoomei› samples have finally arrived, encompassing 154 files in ACID|WAV and REX2 formats.

This collection features samples of ‹Khoomei› , male and female throat singers, and two types of stringed instruments: ‹Doshpuluur› and ‹Igil›. All sound files are presented in both 44.1 kHz/16-bit and 96 kHz/24-bit formats.


Tuvan Sounds on the disc:

KHOOMEI :
A type of throat singing with a distinct fundamental and an overtone melody, used in folk music from Tuva.

DOSHPULUUR :
A three-stringed instrument with fretless similar to a banjo, but with the warm, organic sound of wood and goat skin.

IGIL :
A two-stringed, bowed and fretless instrument. Deeply connected with the mythology of the horse, the most important animal in Tuvan culture. The Igil sounds like a cross between violin and cello, and is often used to imitate the sound and rhythms of the horse.


The Republic of TUVA:

It is a member of the Russian Federation, located in the Tannu Mountains on the Siberian border in northwestern Mongolia. The capital is Kyzyl. The population of 308,000 lives in the area of 170,500 square kilometers. The area is a mountain basin with numerous lakes and rivers. Many of Tuvans are still cattle-breeding nomads.

I think this was well done.

@FCannova Thanks!!

AAAwwww! It's only a promo. I was hoping to hear throat singing accompanied by igil and doshpuluur. Where did the Tuvan (Khoomei tribe people) get the piano? The piano is not indigenous Tuvan - Khoomei instrumental repertoire. Guys!

[DiscoverySound]

@999yullan You can always make your own. :)

[999yullan]

@DiscoverySound I would enjoy hearing some of the other tracks that are on the CD. This will allow me to give these sound files a fairer evaluation. -I guess I was surprised. There is some interesting stuff in a movie soundtrack "Mongol". It incorporates throat singing within a full symphonic score. Fascinating.

@999yullan I might make another demo, but you can preview the samples on the homepage.

@999yullan

Indigenous or not, the piano including the background singing gives it a nice relaxing effect and gives it a refreshing rich and new sound.

Were studieng this in music class!!! Too bad it's only a promo...

[NinjaKon]

Oh aw, this is really great!

[3T3RNALL0RD]

@3T3RNALL0RD Actually it was Inuit throat singing (definately search this: Inuit Throat Singing - Atlin, British Columbia)

Still Tuvan throat singing is melodic and peacefully atmospheric in it's own right!
