This is going to be good. Namtchylak has a phenomenal voice with an ability to produce as much as 4 harmonically related pitches simultaneously! Not something you hear everyday, so well worth a look.
Thursday 7th October:
The Boom Boom Room in association with Improvised Music Company presents:
"Sainkho Namtchylak"
(Overtone / Throat Singing - Electronic - Jazz) €12 8:30pm
Members:
Sainkho Namtchylak - Voice / Electronics
"The universality and humanity at the heart of her singing has a virtually elemental allure" - Jazz Review
Sainkho Namtchylak walks on the edges of life. It would be cliché to say she plays music on the border between East and West, past and present. But she is one of those artists that exist outside of categories. The same could be said of any woman who combines Tuvan throat singing, experimental jazz, classical, electronica, and Buddhism. Then again, she is the only woman on the planet that fits this description.
Already known as Tuva's most celebrated female vocalist, Sainkho takes her unique blend in a new direction. Transfixing audiences with her astounding seven octave range, Sainkho uses songs like "Tuva Blues," "Let the Sunshine," and "Lonely Soul" to explore lands that live beyond the confines of the East and the West.
Sainkho courses between polar extremes, reflecting love and hostility. With her finely crafted overtone singing, knowledge of Siberian folklore, shamanistic ritual, and history in Russian folklore ensembles and free-jazz acts, Sainkho juxtaposes traditional styles of her Tuvan ancestors with the Western avant-garde, sailing from harmonious serenity to hissing, trilling, and wailing.
Audiences are astounded by the diversity of sounds Sainkho can produce with her voice, from operatic tenor to birdlike squawks, from childlike pleas to soulful crooning; which at various moments elicit comparisons to Zap Mama, Patti Smith, Billie Holiday, and Nina Hagen.
