I really enjoyed that and hope to listen to a bit more later.

 

Have you ever listened to the Sabri Brothers qawwali music. Different spiritual culture but similarly devotional in intent.

@christopher3393 To make things clear - I always liked music surprises, so I really appreciate this post. Actually I listened to it (different fragments) for 4 or 5 minutes (but I have to admit that first I made sure there was noone around..)

 

Similar idea to Tuvan throat singing, which I like a lot. I guess not much else to do during those long winter nights in your yurt except explore the musical limits of your sinus cavity?

Thanks but no I haven't really heard them before.  Looked them up ... but not my taste.

I keep trying to convince my wife to think of my loud snoring as “sinus music” and to enjoy the late night “concerts.”  

Dirty looks and banishment to the couch is the reception to that. 

Perhaps if we were Inuit and lived in a yurt she would be more, er, in-u-it.

loud snoring indicates that a sleep analysis needs to be done - a CPAP is in your future

@Superdad @Ralf11

Snoring of the world..

Or out of this world.?

As far as I remember this was Michael Stipe of REM who said :

Everybody snores sometimes...

Ok, let's change the main topic of this thread for a moment to 'Amazing Snoring of the World'

(I think @Ralf11 will agree a CPAP is in their future too)

sphinx - this is potentially an extremely serious medical problem - much more so than a marital issue

 

numerous deaths can be traced to sleep apnea and it effects

 

if he has it, he needs to deal with it and quickly

Well you will pleased to know that my appointment with the ear/nose/throat doctor was today (two hours in the waiting room tried my patience).  I addressed a range of concerns with him (sinus issues, tinnitus, smell that only I smell), including my snoring and apnea.  Got the referral for the obligatory “sleep study,” which fortunately these days can be done at home with small recording equipment they loan you.

So I’m making progress towards a CPAP machine.  Thankfully the new ones are small, quiet, and comfortable.

What is world music?

 

Would something like Wadruna be considered world music?

Hi Alex,

 

Good decision, but you still need the full Apnea exam (one night in the clinic) to determine the type of Apnea and the regulation of the CPAP machine.
With regard to the mask, if any is completely comfortable, there are places where they are made to measure.
At first it takes a bit of getting used to (more or less like sleeping with the mother-in-law ?), but later you do not want to sleep without her (the mask).

 

Good luck,

 

Roch

But seriously - I believe you. Some guys snore in a way which makes me think they fight the whole world in a sleep. I think it's the worst kind of snoring for someone sleeping beside them or behind a not so solid wall. As far as I know I snore every now and then but I don't care that much, you know - die young!

Last time I listened to No theater music was many years ago and it was unacceptable for me back then but it seems I got to give it another try.

The visual aspect idea is very simple but at the same time quite eye-catching but more importantly - what one can hear here is some serious playing and singing. Thx for this!

Google "Manganiar" for more info on these "desert musicians".

Thanks to a few organizations the have now gained recognition internationally.

Noh is steeped in tradition, so it could be difficult. And worst, of the four aspects of Noh, i.e. music, choreography, literature (text), dramatic effects (costumes, masks, etc), an audio recording only captures the first. Give it another try. Just know that a big chunk would still likely to be missed. For a little taste, here is a version of the lion dance towards the end of the play:

 

 

By the way, the stone bridge in this case is likely a reference to the Stone Bridge of Joshu, which in Chinese is a word play between name of a place and a well known Zen master. But I'll stop before people start calling me a religious troll

The half price special is only good for another 1 or 2 hours, but I think you'd like at least portions of "Baldr" by Icelandic composer Jon Leifs.

 

http://www.eclassical.com/composers/leifs-jon/cd7318591230311.html

 

The music is based on Icelandic folk melodies and rhythms, with resourceful and colorful instrumentation for full orchestra.  To me several tracks sound like the film score of a mythic fantasy like The Hobbit.

I won't. I don't mind stone bridges, I don't even mind gateless gates

 

BTW (I know there aren't many reggae fans here) I mentioned Dub FX on a separate (I was right - proved to be a niche one ) beatbox thread. He travelled to Jamaica a couple of months ago and recorded some reggae songs there. As usually with Dub FX videos it's all recorded live.
