In
1989, after getting a First Prize
at International
Festival of Throat-Singing, Nikolay
Oorzhak
together with fellow throat-singer Boris
Kherly founded Ensemble Tuva.
Meeting with great success, they toured internationally,
including Norway, Sweden, Turkey and Mongolia.
"My creative
work is being born from manyyears of
experience. I always act following my imagination, when actions
reveals through myTemple of sound.
Inside the sounds I intersperse the Algyshes - mysteries."
By today, Nikolay makes a brilliant career as
singer and performer. Starting from clubs and local concerts,
he at the moment a welcomed and honorary guest at different
serious folklore and jazz festivals in Russia and Ukraine.
Particularly, he reveals a unique talent of jazz performer,
and is actually develops a
new direction in ethno-jazz - a "khoomei-jazz".
In
December 1999 German TV channel ARTE filmed a
documenatary in Tuva on
his outstanding technique of shamanism and throat singing.
Later German, Dutch, Russian and Ukrainian television made a special
programs with about Nikolay.
Especially interesting was a live improvising concert in the
forest together with famous Ukrainian performers Vladimir
Soljanik and
EnverIzmaylov (pictured by TV ICTV,
Kiev). Since 2006,
together with Vladislav Matrenitsky, Nikolay developed a new
concert style - meditative layered throat singing.
Mesmerizing interlacing overtones evokes a deeply
reverberant vibrations in the body and restores the
disbalanced energies in diseased organs,
initiating a process of recovery.
