Shamanic Powers

tania or steve do you know the name of the mayan trumpet instrument? according to this article they are called “Hom-Tahs”.. http://www.geocities.com/rvelaz.geo/bonampak/hom.htm
if i can hear a recording of one i should be able to get a sound close to it…which would be great, then i can layer it up with everything else. 

also here is a recording i have done of the ocarina..the file is of me playing, just testing out the sound…if you like this then i will work out a nice theme and record with some percussion and some loops on its own.
it sounds very haunting with the reverb, would be perfect using that for moments in the temple and/or jungle? or maybe add it to the market soundscape…

a 1min loop for the market soundscape, chattering is in spanish, although this can be changed, as can the music, yet to find any samples of more traditional mayan music, found a few that are good, next meeting maybe we can disucuss this, found a few samples but not sure which will be more genuine…
mp3 loop is below.
speak soon
