2:49 PM: as i mentioned in yesterdays post, everything changed for me after watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE
in it, we see the hu playing and singing in total rapture. their movements, dress, instruments and the landscape they’re playing in inspired me to create a new series of paintings simply titled HU.
Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, THE HU, Gala, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush, are a modern rock group rooted in the tradition of their homeland, and using the amazing technique of throat singing.
although this first in the series is at a very early stage, you can discern two musicians playing and singing. more tomorrow.
