Dirtwire

This is without a doubt the most unique thing that I've shared on Indie Shuffle. Where should we begin? Well, how about with the familiar...Dirtwire is a side project of two individuals: David Satori, who happens to be part of Beats Antique (you'll probably be familiar with them -- perhaps through this banjo cover of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"), and Evan Fraser of Stellamara. They're both established, Western artists.Enter Konger-ol Ondar, a throat singer from Tuva, an area in Russia just south of Siberia. The art itself is one of the oldest in the world; a style in which one or more pitches sound simultaneously over a fundamental pitch (Wikipedia). Kongar-ol received a fair bit of attention when he appeared on The Letterman Show a little while back, and by chance Evan was invited to join him on mouth harp during a private performance in Marin, CA. The two quickly bonded, and that very night Kongar-ol joined Evan to record vocals in David's home studio.Unfortunately Kongar-ol passed away early last year at only 51 years of age, but his memory lives on through the music.
