My Whistling And Main Orawhistling Activities
I am good at Orawhistle(oral whistle),language-birds(especially in lark and
song-thrush),whistle-throat (which combines Orawhistle and humming simultaneously)
and whistle-cricket.
Cricket is a kind of insect. It likes singing in summer and autumn.In summer,pitches
in it's songs are high and rhythm is fast.But in autumm,pitches are low and
rhythm is slow.When one imitates cricket's voice by Orawhistling,this kind of
Orawhistling is called "whistle-cricket".It may be difficult to imitate
cricket's voice in blowing method.But I can imitate cricket's voice very easily
only in inhaling method.Of course,I can do it in blowing method.
I ususlly perform songs in Orawhistle,only blowing.Sometimes after Orawhistling
songs I perform
language-birds,combining blowing and inhaling.If there is enough performing
time,I would
add to show whistle-cricket,blowing or inhaling,and whistle-throat.
I DID NOT know Orawhistle is one of the art forms until I was near 30.But at
the time I had been Orawhistling for over 20 years,only for entertainment.Larks
all over my hometown in countryside were my techers and friends.I began to study
the art of whistling and got to know that once you are able to 'talk' with lark
in Orawhistle,you can blow songs in Orawhistle very easily. Now I am 44 and
have been performing Orawistling for 15 years.
There is very interesting appearance between me and lark,song-thrush. For I
combine blowing and inhaling methods in language-birds,the musical sentence
of the song-birds imitated by me can be very very long.I like TALKING with lark
and song-thrush.So do lark and babbler.But,when I TALK with lark or song-thrush
in very very long or highly difficult musical sentence,the singing lark or song-thrush
usually stopps singing suddenly.
I ever performed in big restaurants,universities,radio stations and TV stations.My
important shows are an Orawhistling duet in 2003 CCTV-7 Spring Festival Evening
broadcasted on Feb 13,2003,then rebroadcasted later,and Orawhistle solo and
language-birds show in CCTV-7 on June
2,2001,rebroadcasted day after the first broadcasting.
There is a complete kinescope which is my first Orawhistling show in CCTV-7
in download page of my site to download.After downloading,You may watch it with
Windows Media Player.
Through my site which is the first whistling site set up on in 2000,most Orawhistlers
in China have contacted with me and keep friendly relationship with me,and more
and more peoples in China get to know The Art Of Orawhistling.I hope that some
Orawhistlers including me have chance to attend the annual International Whistlers
Invention and annual Robert's America Whistling Festival.
I didn't publish my CD for being afraid of serious publishing-illegal in some
places.But I shall upload more samples blown by me to my site for friends to
download.
I look forward to meeting with more whistler friends and communicating Orawhistling
techniques each other.
