Shamanic ritual ensemble
Evoke the spirits with this unique ensemble. Featuring Middle-American flutes, skin drums, and a humming Shaman.
Umbra gives you three wooden flutes: The high quena, mid-range quenacho, and a contrabass flute. Expressive and playable, with slides, ornaments, and a ‘finger-tapping’ pizzicato.
The ritual also involves percussion, including a gong drum, a shaman drum, a rainmaker, and a frame drum. Played in a number of standard and non-standard styles, including muted hits and rubber ball bowing.
The Shaman himself presides over the ceremony, with a bass voice that goes down to a low G. With arcane mutterings, and humming that morphs through multiple vowels.
All that, plus some stunning processed patches: Umbra will help you conjure another world.
