The songs that echo in boreal forests and bounce off primordial peaks have a blind date in the Hollywood hills. There, carefully crafted electronica meets the horse-hair spike fiddle, and stone images of the ancestors are praised to the sound of lush strings. This is no remix - it is a sonic meeting of minds between musicians on two continents.
This is the new sound of the world’s best loved re-inventors of Tuva’s musical treasures, Huun Huur Tu, and their latest album, Eternal. Hungry for a fresh approach, the group recruited electronic musician/producer Carmen Rizzo (Niyaz, Seal, Paul Oakenfold) and composer/arranger Mark Governor, who has scored dozens of major films.
What began as a blind date has become a real-life collaboration: Huun Huur Tu with Carmen Rizzo and Mark Governor in live performance, beginning September 2009.
Huun Huur Tu was nominated for a 2008 BBC World Music Award. They continue to be available alone as well as in collaboration.
