Sainkho Namtchylak - Lost Rivers 2 / Follow-up to Sainkho Namtchylak's seminal FMP album Lost Rivers concentrating on the human scream with many guest musicians - Sainkho Namtchylak is a singer originally from Tuva, an autonomous republic in the Russian Federation just north of Mongolia. She is known for her Tuvan throat singing or KhÃ¶Ã¶mei. Her music encompasses avant-jazz, electronica, modern composition and Tuvan influences. Once the Soviet Union had collapsed, she moved to Vienna, making it her base, although she traveled widely, working in any number of shifting groups and recording a number of discs that revolved around free improvisation. Amongst them are collaborations with Evan Parker, Ned Rothenberg, The Moscow Composers Orchestra and Wolfgang Puschnig. Lost Rivers 2 is the follow-up album to Sainkho's seminal release on FMP in 1991. The album is divided into three parts, all of which are focusing on the singer's experimental work of sound poetry and the extreme use of the human voice to express the strong power of nature, the human scream. Such techniques were an important resource in extraordinary situations, for example at the beginning of a tribe hunting or the start of hostilities. The first part is a recording of Sainkho with Ned Rothenberg on clarinet. Part two is the trio of Sainkho, Hamid Drake on drums and William Parker on double bass. Part three is the purest version of Lost Rivers: Sainkho's voice combined with self-made instruments by Slumberland. An album that will appeal to fans of free improvisation and jazz, but also lovers of extreme music and noise.
