Kronos Quartet and Tanya Tagaq - Nunavut

Nunavut is a remarkable musical collaboration between Kronos Quartet and Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq. This performance of Nunavut was directed by Mark Lawrence as was the documentary "A String Quartet in her Throat".

Curious if anyone else cries when they hear Tanya Tagaq sing?
A good kind of cry, that is.

I had never heard this before. It has all the sounds of nature, creaking trees, cracking ice floes, bird and animal voices, the melodies of wind and changing seasons...I especially liked the melodic part from 05:00.

[@leranedlin]

The music that tells us about something we've lost long-long time ago... I am deeply impressed with ensemble between Tanya and KQ! It is more than ballance. It is co-living in music. I wish everybody to feel such thing at least once on Earth.

There is something so primal about this. So close to natural. Makes me appreciate more why I like to turn off the radio and just listen to the outside.

[@cybersmurfen]

Amazing. Tanya is so beautiful

[@amaliapistilli2090]

Saw their amazing concert with Tanya Tagaq in Vancouver in 2006.. Unforgettable.

[@shaunepp8658]

The Kronos Quartet and throat singing compliment each other very well. They adjusted there style of playing to work with her throat singing. Very neat!!

[@sireneatspoetry]

This collaboration makes me so happy. I hope it comes to Denver or close. Big love!

[@pramerg]

thats great and each note is contemporary music ....fullfilling John Cage ideas...

[@StringJockey]

Tanya Tagaq is the most authentic Extraterrestrial I have ever seen

One could say the same thing about Tool... or Elvis, or the Beetles, or Jerry Lee Lewis, or Beethoven... in fact, they have in every one of those examples. Desire based upon taste is unique to each listener. You may like one style and utterly hate another, but the amount of talent and skill that goes into recreating this "noise" so perfectly is utterly brilliant. It's a level of skill usually not possessed by those who make such off-handed opinionated and negative remarks.

[@fluffynamedkimba]

this is so interesting, thank you for your music!

[@HryMuscle]

In much the way the aborigine of Australia have their songlines it seems that Tanya sings the landscape of the north .

[@michincuako]

that's curious, i think vice-versa. well, i like all the piece but my favorite part is where is all slow and quiet.
cheers!

[@djung9064]

I think I am turned on?

[@FloydianFreak13]

nunavut means "our land"

[@susanmrisk3781]

The greater part of nature is terribly polite- but is the Kronos Quartet?

[@nyckelharpa87]

what means Nunavut?

[@andrewmurphy4665]

I don't like the first 7 and a half minutes, but then it starts getting good and moves, IMO into transcendently good.

[@hokmayen]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[@SamuelBChan]

12:55 gets me everytime!

[@QuetzalcoatlAeneas]

Copulation in Fa minor or whatever it is... :D

[@NordsXe]

Horror film..

[@Tarnezal]

0,o
Surely not my style

[@Confluence.]

Inuit throat singing is thousands of years old. The only difference is that there are instruments. You're not particularly inspiring.

[@SphinctersForever]

Experimental music, but not particularly inspiring.
