Chris M. Slawecki
The whistling of the high-mountain wind creates eerie overtones and postmodern statement. The repeated thrum of a string against wood and hide turns into a meditative, evocative figure straight from the avant-garde. The descendents of isolated Siberian herdsmen make serious, strangely universal music out of some of the planet's quirkiest acoustics.
