hi, There are a couple of albums by "The Bardo State Orchestra" the first of which is infuenced to some extent and the second of which includes some 'real' Tibetans. Both albums are on Impetus and are well worth a listen. The 'orchestra' consists of three musicians - Jim Dvorak, Ken Hyder, Marcio Mattos. Technically Hyder does khoomei and kargirah vocals. Strictly speaking this is not Tibetan but I understand that the Tibetans stole the techniques from the Tuvans anyway. The second album features Monks of the Teenyid Dhargyeling monastery, Nepal with the 'orchestra'. Great name for a band. regards, Billy
I've seen Peter Kowald do some great throat-singing/double bass improvisation. His influence might be more eastern as well, but it sounds pretty damn cool. I imagine a recent solo record might have some of that kind of stuff on it.

Last night I saw a group of Tibetan monks speak about non-violence. Before they started their talk, they chanted. It was a wonderfully intense experience. I purchased the CD of their chanting and have been listening ever since. Are there instrumentalists that have used these chants as a guide for improvisation?
Thanks, Zach
