about

“[…] I could only hear animals and human voices.
Nature was pure, so calm and beautiful.
It was authentic: nobody was disturbing it.
That is why I learned Höömii.” - S. Nanjid

Höömii is a vocal tradition in which the human-nature relation is strongly audible. It is the result of the nomadic and pastoral lifestyle still alive in Mongolia. Unfortunately this culture is transforming quick in last years and risks to be lost. "Höömii - The Voice of Wind" is the artistic result a field recording expedition to Mongolia in 2017 where Alfredo Ardia investigated the relationship between the sounds of nature and the traditional Mongolian throat singing style Höömii.

This release present a stereo version of the original 8-channel soundscape composition
