Manchu Shamanic Drumming

In her scholarly article "The Symbolization Process of the Shamanic Drums Used by the Manchus and Other Peoples in North Asia," ethnomusicologist Lisha Li establishes a universal framework describing how the drum as a symbol transmits symbolic meanings among shamans, people and the spirit world. She provides an in-depth analysis of the symbolic functions of the drum from an ethnomusicological point of view. All elements of drum music such as timbre, rhythm, volume and tempo play an important role in Manchu shamanic ritual. By using different parts of the drumstick to play on different parts of the drum, different timbres can be produced for transmitting different meanings. Different rhythms transmit different meanings and enable the shaman to contact different beings in different realms of the cosmos. Volume and tempo arouse feelings in the listener and communicate symbolic meanings directly as aural sense experience. The drum is also a visual symbol loaded with symbolic meanings.

In Manchu shamanic drumming, rhythmic patterns with odd accents are frequently used, which are related to the cosmology of Manchu shamanism in which the cosmos has nine levels divided into three regions. As Lisha Li points out, "before healing a patient, the shaman beats his drum very hard three times, then chants and beats the drum repeatedly in three-fold rhythms. According to old Manchu shamans, "Three-accented Patterns" are for accessing the Celestial Realm, "Five-accented Patterns" are for conveying the intention of spirits to the people, "Seven-accented Patterns" are used to drive away malevolent spirits, and "Nine-accented Patterns" are for working with all living beings in different regions of the cosmos."

Your Word

You promised me you loved me

Vowed you’d never hurt me

Whispered you’ll always be there

That nothing could keep you away

Pledged our hearts were one

Beating to the same drum

Please explain, if that’s all true

Pray tell, where are you?

Why am I hurting?

A promise you’ve broken

Why has my beat stopped?

While yours still goes on

Why give me your word?

If you know you won’t keep it

Why pretend to stay?

When you know you’ll leave me?

- The Black Rose

Visit Original Link

So I kinda have a cool idea for a non-mashup album, and I wanted to see if one of the musical ideas I had would work. The idea: Printer as Percussion.

So I downloaded a stock sound effect and brought it directly into audition. I seperated the sound into some destinct sections I could chop into a rhythm. I arranged it the way it sounded in my head, added a kick and a snap, and hey, there’s a beat.

I want to add some vocoded voice, bass, and lyrics to this, but for now I only have the drums. Wish me luck.

(And yeah, I was kinda sorta thinking of Clipping and Death Grips when I made this)
