Described as "An eclectic fusion of ancient Tuvan Throat Singing blended with neoteric sounds and rhythms", the 'Cyber Trachea Suite' firmly establishes Ross Aubrey as a truly innovational force in world music.
The 'Cyber Trachea Suite' is a collection of musical arrangements produced by Ross Aubrey in May / June 2001.
Its leitmotif and inspiration is various samples and interpretations of Tuvinian Throat Singing. The musical arrangements specifically underscore the ambient ancient approach to Throat Singing whilst integrating a variety of neoteric counterpoints of musical soundscapes, not commonly correspondent to such ancestral music.
About Tuvan Throat Singing
Tuva is a humble autonomous republic situated within Southern
Siberia on its border adjoining Mongolia. Its small population is predominately
semi-nomadic yak and wild horse herders whose close relationship with all
aspects of their environment motivates their unique multi-harmonic vocal
style. 3 types of Throat Singing may be heard on this CD. 'Sygyt' is the
whistling style of overtone heard in the high register. 'Kargyraa' is the
lower rattling speech-like mode and 'Khoomei' is the traditional middle register
technique. Throat Singing is taboo for Tuvan women in the belief it causes
infertility.
The Recording
These recordings were created via the sampling of a range
of musical tones, rhythms and sound effects. Ross Aubrey performed all other
instruments heard on this CD. When listening to "The Cyber Trachea Suite'
through stereo headphones, some listeners may discern an alteration with
their theta or alpha brain patterns. Intentionally synchronized stereo effects
and spatially encoded signals achieve this consequence. These signals originate
from purposely delayed sounds in either the left or right channel which may
surface from seemingly separate areas at contrary times, thus deceiving the
brain into believing they are advancing from where they are not. This is
executed at frequencies of 3Hz and above, at which point the brain begins
synchronizing at the same frequency, thereby increasing its output of Delta,
Theta, Alpha, or Beta frequencies. These effects are in no way harmful. At
worst the listener shall feel perhaps slightly wearied or lightheaded.
