Igor Olivier Ezendam

Listen, listen, listen...
Igor is a Dutchborn artist, singer, multi-instrumentalist, teacher and student of vocal harmonics, a polyphonic singing style with origins in Mongolia and Tibet, found in shamanic traditions the world over. Igor shares this instrument for deep transformation at concerts, during workshops and in individual sessions.

As a voice teacher Igor has shared with many people during sessions, performing at elementary and high-schools, universities and old-age homes, theaters, weddings and yoga schools, always happy to see the faces when he starts singing vocal harmonics.
" I'm inspired by Tuvan (Mongolia), Tibetan, Sufi, Native American, African, Aboriginal and all the world's freestyle singers, and by nature everywhere. Especially vocal harmonics, a singing technique which creates a scale of overtones, whistle-like sounds in my voice, blew my mind.

I love these sounds ever since i heard them come out of the radio one day in the nineties, listening to a concert of David Hykes and his Harmonic Choir."
Igor has been touring around the globe with his Overtone World Music concerts, in which he combines various singing styles with didgeridoo, percussion (hang, djembe, daf, doundoun, bodhrán), shrutibox, tibetan bowls and stringed instruments (mandola, cümbüs, guitar, guitalele).

He's written a book on singing and overtones, called 'Your Sound is Sacred' (translation from italian coming soon), and recorded several CDs as a soloist as well as with other artists, available at the Bazar or on Itunes.
Deeply inspired by Sufi philosophy through the books of Hazrat Inayat Khan, he spent 25 years supporting their meditation camp in the Swiss Alps.

The Sufi Message wakens in humanity the spirit of brotherhood, with tolerance on the part of each for the religion of the other, with forgiveness from each for the fault of the other.
