Just because… This is Paul Pena with Kargyraa Moan. Paul was a blind bluesman and Morna singer. He learnt about #ThroatSinging from AM radio, and taught himself. He went to Tuva in 1995. That trip was filmed for the documentary Genghis blues.
Kargyraa is a style in which the false vocal folds are activated, which vibrate at half the speed of the vocal cords, producing an octave drop and audible harmonics. In this one I think he hits G♯2.

Introducing the octopus piano played by (well obviously) an octopus, though it took a while…
This was a rather enjoyable video on a weird but oddly wonderful experimental musical project. And of course, I'm sitting here thinking about #ethnomusicology and various pedagogies around the world now. It's really not that far off from how very young children learn and put things together, though usually not involving cross-species interaction. #Music #Piano #Octopus

On 13–14th of February 2025, I organised a #Hackathon on #RomaniChords that explored various methodological avenues for my #MSCA project’s data acquisition.
Here’s a short thread summarising what we dealt with and achieved during these days.
CCying everyone interested in #Ethnomusicology, #Musicology, #ComputationalMusicology, #MusicScience, #RomaniStudies, #RomaniMusic and alike.
Let’s jump right into it!
