Songbooks
Songbooks is a series composed by Christian Mason and inspired by traditional forms of overtone (or throat-singing) from around the world. Performed by Ligeti Quartet, the first album features two projects, taking as their inspirations the Tuvan vocal tradition of Khöömii and the practice of the Tenores in Sardinia.
