Wow throat singing sounds so crazy! I loved all the sound clips you used though. It definitely made it really interesting to listen to! I think its so interesting that they use throat singing as a healing power. Singing is not something that, I feel, we typically think of as a healing power so its cool to think of it in that sense. Like Tess said, I can tell you guys put a lot of work into this and did a lot of research! Good job!
Out of all of the research trailers that I watched the other week on the blog, I was most intrigued by your podcast subject. Tuvan throat singing is another new type of sound/ experience to me, so it drew me in right away. Your sound object podcast did not disappoint as it answered a lot of the questions I had about Tuvan throat singing. Along with this, the production of the podcast was on point. Great job!
You both had some excellent information about Tuvan throat singing and made some great connections to texts we read in class. I loved listening to your sound clips, especially the healing song. I could hear the influences from nature; the song reminded me of rain and bullfrogs. A couple critical comments: timbre is pronounced TAM-ber and when you quoted texts, you said “quote” at the beginning, but never ended it, which made it difficult to tell where the quote ended. Besides those two points, I really enjoyed your podcast.
To be honest, the title of your podcast was what drew me. The idea of “healing powers” of a sound really drew me, and made me want to hear what you guys had to say. I have never really heard throat-singing, so listening to your podcast was definitely an experience for me. I think the idea of animism tied in with singing is interesting, and something I have never been exposed to. You had an amazing background on what throat singing is, and how it ties into the Khoomi culture. You also pulled some great quotes. I can tell that you guys researched a lot, and worked very hard on this. Love it.
