RE: Egyptian Oud, Doumbek, Shaker and Jaw Harp Jam
finally I've had time to watch it without anything distracting me. man, I'm impressed with your talent and efforts. I cant believe it was improvisation... well, I believe ofc, but i cant understand hows that possible xD
I dont play music, but Im really fascinated with playing darbuka, and also I have two jewish harps in my posession -- I dont just collected them, I do play from time to time, the more simple one I borrow with me most of the time.
ok, thats it... hmmm...
oh, and the last one. have you heard any albums by Muslimgauze?.. they are rather industrial, but very arabic-scented ... I adore this artist very much.
Thanks for listening. For improvising i usually jam for about 15 minutes before recording anything then i do about 3 takes and pick the best one. After that adding the drums etc is fairly easy, i try not to polish things up too much since its just a jam. Thanks for recommending muslimgauze i'll check it out i like the arabic scales in music and the odd timed drum beats.

Jaw harp is really fun and portable to bring with you. I like the way mongolians use it with their morin khuurs and throat singing.

me too, the music of Altay region, Tuwa. actually, i m in the know a lot of different nations have invented and used this instrument, under the different names: jewish harpa, vargan, khomus, kubjiz, madyars had it as doromba, etc etc etc. I prefer to name it 'vargan' . I will show you mine, when I ll take a good pic. but have got no records, hehe
