Tuvan shamans Oorzhak found a new meaning to the "Safety Magic" and Pan Asian Ensemble

28th March in the middle of "House" was the evening ethnic improvisation in an unusual format. Hereditary Tuvan shaman and master throat singers Nicholas Oorzhak performed with "Pan-Asian Ensemble" and ethno-jazz-rock group "Safety Magic". The result was also unusual. Nicholas Oorzhak long been known in the musical circles of Moscow. He often visited his home Kyzyl, gives master classes in the throat singing and playing the tambourine. And most importantly, enjoy concerts and plays CDs with good musicians. For example, a few years ago got a concert in the "House" with the ensemble percussion Mikhail Zhukov an excellent reputation world music. Here Oorzhak met with very high quality band "Safety Magic" and decided to talk to them. They were of the fantastic musicians from Pan Asian Ensemble (formerly known as the experimental group "Va-It" known) joined, specializing in free improvised music in Japanese, Chinese and other oriental instruments. Oorzhak aptly said before the show: "Well, today, the musicians who play freely, and then the musicians who play more accurately." Nicholas Oorzhak began the concert with solos. His specialty - a variety of styles of throat singing, of which there are 10-30. It depends on who and how to believe. Oorzhak divides every genre of throat singing in three. Low Sound "Kargyraa" old "Sygyt" and the mother of all sounds "khoomei". In return, there are nine special sounds, open chakras. These complicated terms and concepts are broken in the dust in front of a simple life making music. Because if it is clear that the point of all classes - a combination of normal human voice imitation and singing birds, wind and other natural pleasures of life. All these art Oorzhak has masterfully. Sometimes he sings through the mouth harp, and then it turns out, especially for "room" sound. Unlike many other musicians hereditary Tuvan shaman Oorzhak formulated simply: "I sing folk tales." In fact, he leads Tuvan old ballads and epics. Drum, harp, bells - the story to help plot. Pan-Asian Ensemble joined by. Musicians play totally improvised music, no squares and rigid forms. Timpani thunder and wind flutes. Cello produces soft pinch, spread by the otherworldly sounds unrealistic sangria. Then, the tone grows begin exotic congas drum beat. He is joined in the heavy arpeggio cello, and finally, hoarse voice Oorzhak. Finally, it lays the bass rhythm pattern, and the Chinese zither and Nikulinskaya didgeridoo - a unique atmosphere. Oorzhak recently met with these musicians at the Moscow Conservatory, but soon became a common journey Nicholas Oorzhak and Pan Asian ensemble are released. Heard at the concert, suggest that listening to the Far Eastern theme this action vividly. It remains to wait for the album. Oorzhak voice glides between the usual buttons, and the cello is not included, even sliding glissando in grayscale and slips behind the voice. Something like the composition of the works of Schoenberg, something - Arvi Pärt. Andrew Romanesque drums at first feels the rhythm, then certainly sets polyrhythmic structure improvisation ensemble. Soloist Zhen and Xun, but the combination of avant-garde noise and overtone day completely unpredictable harmonies. After the break came the musicians' safety Magic ". Actually, some of the musicians have long been at the same time and in the "Safety Magic" and the "Pan Asian Ensemble". Peter Nikulin shows quite didgeridoo whistling wind. Nervous system combines violin Nazar Amanov and careful long interval Bass Misha Avsharova. Oorzhak hoarse voice takes on a new context, sounds like the voice of the other flowers in the valley. Against the backdrop of romantic melodies saxophone Oorzhak trembling voice is jaw harp, and again - a musical success. Such a sound we have not heard, this is a godsend. Finally magnetized spots went bass and sustained drive of the new duo Oorzhak began in full force. Electronic samples Arkady Marto saturate the sound density of the metal. Sometimes the musicians are the "rough" how do size 6/8, and then again as a standard. Danovski Tresses guitar combines overdrive, and the music is the noise landscape. I understand that we are waiting for the board and soon the duo Nicholas and Oorzhak "Safety Magic". It would be unforgivable to give you the luxury of writing as a luxurious sound. Wait.
