What Is A Jews Harp?

Nadishana is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound designer from Siberia, who creates his own unique and innovative approach to world fusion music - the creative synthesis of different musical traditions of the world on the basis of contemporary technologies. Jews harps are mostly made of metal and playing them puts quite a bit of moisture onto them so always dry them well with a cloth after playing. If not you may find rust develops on the blade or legs of the harp. Ze worden met de hand vervaardigd uit messing, zijn makkelijk te bespelen en hebben een heel boventoonrijke klank.
Fig. 2-7: Wrong ways of jews harp holding - the fingers squeeze the frame from the top and bottom. There are khomuses with a wooden frame and a metal reed. There are kinds of khomus with one, two, three, or four reeds. Altai Mountains are situated in the center of Asia at the junction of the Siberian taiga, the steppes of Kazakhstan and the semi-deserts of Mongolia.
Almost all cultures have this instrument, but everywhere it is called differently. In the Altai this ancient ethnic overtone instrumen named Vargan, and it is not just a musical Instrument, but it is a means for communication with nature and with other worlds than the actual Shamans engaged to this day.
At the scheduled concerts the emphasis was on regional traditions. Every evening brought new delights. Wednesday we saw Norwegian fiddling, munnharpa playing, and traditional dancing, followed by a spectacular performance by the Sakha-Yakutia delegation, which ended with us all going to a fire ceremony down in the reconstructed village. On Thursday it was European traditions and music from Southeast Asia; on Friday the Urals, Central Asia and Japan.
According to the stories, at the time all the lads had not only a pocket knife in their trouser pocket, but also a Jaw Harp. They played this with their beloved at the window. The girls could not resist the erotic sound of the Jaw Harp and opened the windows. At that time many single children were born. For this reason, in 1856 the Catholic Church, which had great power, forbade play with the Jaw Harp at the window under the threat of severe punishment. However, this ban lasted only 2 years.
Video, song and album alike are equal parts entrancing and strange. The animation comes across with the avant feel of a darker Terry Gilliam, but still feels on-theme with the track it complements, moth-lady to the moon and all. Elsewhere on the record, 10-plus-minute songs like Son of the Queen,” That's How They Get You” and the 15-minute closer Push the Blood Back In” unfurl some of the same textures of Mania for Breaking” on a grander scale of melody and heft, but particularly with the visual accompaniment, there's enough here to begin to get the point across at least to a degree that one might be tempted to, say, stream the record in full via Bandcamp. Fortunately there's a player embedded at the bottom of the post for precisely that purpose.
Morgan is writing her masters' thesis on the Asian Jew?s harp, one of the instrument's many variations. Now an expert, she explains how they work. Osvaldo Golijov, whose intensely personal music has won the raves of critics and audiences around the world. Golijov evokes entire sound worlds and cultures with the subtlest of gestures.
In Metsatöll's concerts I have an usual SM57 an instrument microphone made by the Shure company for flutes, the rest is up to sound technician. There is one barrier to the acoustic instruments in our live-shows: this "guitars-bass-drums-and-all-the-heavy-metal-stuff". So, we take quite narrow sequence of acoustical sound and make it heard through shifting different sequences in our mixing-equipment. And never get an ideal sound.
