Khoomei, the ancient Mongolian art of throat singing, is a unique skill based on mimicry of the sounds of nature. Intriguingly, mastery of it enables singers to produce different pitched sounds simultaneously and in harmony. Interested? Come along to Jonny Mark's free workshop at The Audio Foundation this Saturday at 1.00pm and, in his words, learn how to ‘tune your ears and throat muscles to make beautiful noise.’
The Khoomei
workshop is part of an extensive programme of events being organised by The
Audio Foundation as part of the Now! Here! Festival which runs from from August
9 - !2. For the full programme of events
