Asato Maa 23 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Gifts of Altai I love mountains. It's extraordinary at night in the mountains! The stars are so huge and close ... Especially the Altai Mountains in Russia! A lot of memories are connects me with Altai: my first love, traveling, camping and rafting, participation in a music festival, where I heard throat singing for the first time ... And today the single "Gifts of Altai" for the fourth album of my musical project Asato Maa has been officially published 😅 This composition is a touch to something ancient, intimate and mysterious, which gives strength and unites everyone together. The sound is a synthesis of ethnicity, ambient and Berlin electronics. You can listen to the song in any streaming service convenient for you below ⏬ I would be glad to have support, feedback and comments! 🥰 ==> https://band.link/aMaaGoA <== Edited October 24, 2022 by Asato Maa 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Walsh 218 Posted December 25, 2021 That's a first for me, a throat-singing song, awesome! The sounds are great in the mix is wonderful. I enjoyed it, thanks for posting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark skinner 848 Posted December 26, 2021 Asato, that was quite a journey! There' s a Tremendous amount of cool stuff going on thru out the entire song. If I would have done anything different it would be letting the low throat singing bleed into all of the next passages. I thought some of the stops were a little abrupt. Fantastic production ! I Really enjoyed this .. mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wookiee 2,055 Posted October 22, 2022 Again reminiscent of TD and Klaus Schulze in the use of Sequencing, mix sound well balanced with distinction in the voicing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 1,149 Posted October 29, 2022 I think you hit the mood of the mountains here. Never heard throat singing in a production before. Omnisphere has a collection of Tuvan throat singers patches that I might have to use after listening to this. A couple of minor nits. The intro arps might be a little too long and the transition effect could be more subtle. Other than that, very nice indeed. Enjoyed it. -Bjorn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very glad I was able to get into the mood of the mountains. I can agree about the remarks about the length of the opening arpeggiators and more subtle transition effects. I'm not a professional musician, and I'm still learning. Including, after listeners feedback also. I'd love your feedback on my other compositions as well 🙏 Here they are: Edited October 29, 2022 by Asato Maa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelJohn 33 Posted October 31, 2022 Wow the mood this creates is like an uplifting and mysterious journey! I especially like the chord progression. The effects and melodic bits are very nice! Watch for my new song/video later today- "Secret Places" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
