A fun and easy way to join the band! Norway has got it's first music archaeologist. Gjermund Kolltveit has been conferred a doctor's degree on the history of the Jew's Harp in Europe. This is the result of ten years of research on this part of European music history that so few have been working on till now.
Saturday night was the congress finale. In the schedule it said "Dancing to Jew’s harp music in the Vinje hall." I (and many others) envisioned Hardanger solo fiddle music and traditional Norwegian dancing. And in fact the sound check was exactly that. But then the fiddler left the stage, and there spread the slow realization that there was no house band. Someone asked me if the Americans would play some dance music. I wandered off to see if I could scare up some volunteers from among our walking wounded (Mike without his banjo, David with a cold) and returned to find two young Yakut virtuosos playing away to a prerecorded Russian rock tape they had brought. The dance floor was full. Right on, I thought.
I joined Metsatöll in the end of 1999. The members were my good friends and we lived in the same neighbourhood in that time, so, I visited some rehearsals with sauna and a lot of beer and jamming with acoustical instruments usually. The combination of my traditional approach and metal riffs seemed to fit well together and so it went. The first concert with Metsatöll was after practising 2 hours in the back of the car that went to the gigplace. I had taken accidentally one of my recorders with me and learned one hour of Metsatöll's music in this road, was forced to play those songs in that concert by the members of Metsatöll, and somehow participated every Metsatölls gig from that day. Never officially joined, but somehow melted into the band.
With so few harps actually surviving ignoring the Lamont because it asks difficult questions is like given modern research, simply lumping Ireland and Scotland together, a rash move. The sound box of the Lamont harp clearly has a date of 1451 which has to be taken into account. I have previously demonstrated that in ‘style' those numbers are comparable with other such dates on contemporary documents from that time and place, while following further research an explanation of how and why that date is relevant can be explained by the history of the family and instrument.

Na meer dan 20 jaar is de productie van de prachtige Shanti windchimes in 2009 stopgezet. Intussen zijn twee nieuwe bedrijfjes opgestart die opnieuw fantastische windorgeltjes produceren: KOSHI en ZAPHIR (zie hieronder). The second important part of the instrument is the mouth- and lung space of the player. The player can change the sounds with the mouth-space. Different people can makes different sounds with the same Mouth-harp.
As expected, Roland Hayes emerges as the most promising performer of the lot. The fact that he had to pay Columbia to record him — only to move to England, where he was welcomed by the Vocalion label and went on to achieve international acclaim — speaks volumes about the times. Perhaps the most musically interesting items are the two piano solos by R. Nathaniel Dett, playing his own compositions. Co-producer Leslie Gerber has provided excellent program notes, including biographical sketches based in part on Lost Sounds.
In „Ongod album Ganzorig Nergui demonstrates various techniques of guttural singing by two voices at a time. That's how he creates nostalgia, sadness in his timbre. His style of singing becomes similar to that of Tuva people. In the beginning of every composition you can hear unique sound of two stringed morin khuur violin which is the symbol of Mongolian culture.
The Vikings also played on string instruments, and what better instrument to start looking at then the lyre. This lyre is a Scandinavian instrument but it is basically a harp, and it is an instrument that according to the Norse sagas was thought of as being a gentleman's instrument. If you have watched the series Vikings, you have probably seen Einar Selvik from the musical band known as Wardruna play on this instrument.
