Description
More than an hour of ultra-rare documents, the testimony of a century of Inuits recordings !
As a guide through this abundant material, we included a complete 24 pages booklet... a very helpful complement not only for purists !
Voices recorded almost hundred years ago in Greenland on wax glader cylinder · for today, hearing a lost shamanic story, a duel-song, a mounful melody·this record presents an unique collection of drumdance and songs -55 historical recordings of traditional Greenlandic music from1905 (by the british ethnologist William Thalbitzer) to 1987 and collected by the danish ethnomusicologist Michael Hauser. This is - beyond the document in itself - a way to be lost in time and space.
These recordings expand our field of perception - maybe even our field of consciousness - a form of brutality, a thousand leagues from what one could expect, like a drive - not necessarily comfortable or friendly, but a drive.
Hope, happiness, mourning· humanity is right there.
