		The Altai region of South Siberia is, it has to be said, is one of the most tranquil, stunning, and remote places on this strange little globe we call Earth.
		Altaian music is most famous for its throatsinging, an incredible vocal technique where the singer produces a deep, resonant growl and, by constricting his vocal cords, overlays a tapestry of harmonics – literally singing several notes at once.
		The purpose of the music, historically, was to recount tales of life in the mountains and valleys of Altai; all the instruments and singing techniques have evolved to capture the sounds of nature; throatsinging, we were told, represented the sound of the wind roaring through the valleys.
