PGM 820 : "SPECTRAL VOICES"

PGM NOTE : the floating world of harmonic overtone singing

FEED DATE : 11-02-07

INTRO: The panorama of musical vocalization stretches across
cultural time and space, from simple songs and chants to the
most elaborate art music for chorus and orchestra. It's a medium
that continues to evolve, incorporating the past while it forges
into the future.

The origins of the Central Asian tradition of harmonic chanting
or "overtone" singing are lost in time, but are alive today, both
in source cultures like Tuva and Tibet, and in the work of
experimental singers and composers.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey into the
ghostly, floating world of harmonic singing.
