The Inuit people of the Canadian Arctic share an ancient form of music called katajjait (throat singing). Often improvised, women perform katajjait in pairs standing face to face, trading off rhythmic, guttural sounds through vocal manipulation and breathing techniques, creating rhythms that reach 240 beats per minute or more. Katajjait texts include comprehensible words, words that have lost their meanings, vocables (nonlexical syllables), and mimicking of nature sounds. According to Inuit performing artists Karin and Kathy Kettler (Nukariik), “Anyone can do the basic sound. Just say: ‘Huumah!’ deep in your throat”(www.nukariik.ca). Their debut album, Inuit Throat Songs and Drumming (2008), has twenty-four tracks of katajjait and ajaja drum-dance songs performed in the “old style” handed down through millennia.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is solo throat singer Tanya Tagaq Gillis (b. 1977), called “devil singer” by Inuit elders from her home community in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, for performing katajjait without a partner. Her third album, Anuraaqtuq (The Wind), released in 2011, is a live recording from the Festival International de Musique Actuelle held in Victoriaville, Quebec, in 2010. Joining Tagaq onstage are Canadian jazz improvisers Jesse Zubot on violin and viola and Jean Martin on drums, computer, and trumpophone (reed trumpet). The division of the album into only five tracks is indicative of the loose time frame of this improvisatory happening, standing in stark contrast to the usual brevity of traditional katajjait. Tagaq’s earlier albums include Sinaa (2005) and Auk/Blood (2008).
Anuraaqtuq defies categorization: jazz, pop, avant-garde, avant-pop, experimental, long-form experimentation, free improvisation. Tagaq’s controversial solo throat-singing style proves equally elusive. As noted by journalist Bruce Lee Gallanter, “Tanya uses her voice in odd ways, twisting and bending it into shapes not so easy to describe.” Indeed, the sounds emitting from Tagaq’s throat have been characterized in a multitude of ways—“animalistic,” “raw,” “unbridled,” “erotic,” “witchlike,” “sort of exorcist,” “crying little girl / scary old woman,” and “language of friendly alien.”
What to make of it all? One way to get a feel for what Tagaq is all about is to listen to Anuraaqtuq for yourself, balancing this aural experience with equal time on the Kettler sisters’ Nukariik to ground you in katajjait sound in its traditional context. You can then come up with your own set of descriptors for this unusual soundscape from Canada’s far north.

iDOLS DONT EXiST is the first DVD release from The Territory, which is a weekly California based internet television series that focuses on independent federations in NoCal. In their press materials, The Territory calls itself a ‘smart show aimed at the smart fan? with the goal of ?capturing the impact of being inside the ring by bringing it to the home viewer? via the utilization of the world class apron angle and placement of as many cameras in as many spots as possible. The materials go as far as to say it is comparable to that of Vince McMahon’s presentation minus the 64 man production crew, It then says the product is being presented documentary style, which started to confuse me. Ultimately once I sat down and watched the DVD it would turn out that like many press releases the fluff PR doesn?t always explain exactly what the actual product is.
The Territory does live up it’s claim of presenting their matches unlike other indy feds in that they offer many more camera angles. The majority of indy fed dvd’s I have seen offer the hard cam and one ringside handheld camera. Does this make The Territory a better presentation than those of the typical indy fed? Well in some ways yes and in some ways no. At times it will offer an excellent angle on something that most others would not of got, while other times it can make you nauseous with the constant movement. Lighting can at times leave something to be desired but to be expected with the Indy scene, however to even try and mention any Indy fed and its filming in the same breath as the WWE and its filming is silly, let’s not go there and instead look at the actual product.
A 2 Disc set running over 3 hours in length, iDOLS DONT EXiST offers up a slew of violent hardcore blow off matches to various feuds from across the territory. Whether it be a street fight, or something much more insane like a barefoot thumbtack match or Double Hell Cage match, the theme to this DVD is bloodshed and plenty of it. This is a best of release but if you were to watch the show on a regular basis you would get the chance to see the characters in question play heel one week and face another as they tour through various indy feds in the state.
Disc 1 begins with a interesting intro video giving you the feel that you are entering some sort of war zone, this is probably where the claim of the footage being presented documentary style comes from. The action begins with a 2008 Double Hell Cage Match featuring 7 wrestlers inside 2 rings, 1 surrounded by barbed wire and the other inside a steel cage. It’s safe to say you haven?t seen many matchups like this as it combines a death match with a cage match and ladder match, and in order to win one must get the title down which is hanging in side the caged ring, and then use a ladder in the other ring to hang it up.Vinnie Massaro, Lester The Legend, Timothy Thatcher, Virgil Flynn, Sir Samurai, Double B Double Badd, and Mr Frost compete and To say the least this match sets the tone for the action to come on the DVD. This match is apparently the 2008 match of the year for the territory and is very well done, especially for something that could of ended up as a big mess.
A Reno city street fight is up next, as bad guy Adam Thornstowe lays down an open challenge which is answered by Mr Prime Time. These two brawl all over the building, nothing overly violent but a decent street fight nonetheless.
It’s with the next match that violence level gets turned way up as The Honour Society take on Kassy Summers and Timothy Thatcher in a Barefoot Tumbtack match. A pile of thumbtacks begin in the middle of the ring, while plates of hot sauce and rubbing alcohol await on the outside. More thumbtacks are added throughout the match as is lego which leads to a great heel spot where a broom is used to sweep most of this crap out of the ring at one point, but the faces bring out more tacks and quite frankly I can?t imagine enduring the pain that these guys and girl put themselves through, and here I thought only Necro Butcher was that screwed up to do matches like this barefoot.
A Table match between Rik Luxury and Adam Thornstowe is next, which was part of a best of 7 series between the pair. Fairly straightforward table match in a venue that had some very poor lighting. One of the highlights of disc 1 is a tapei death match between Timothy Thatcher and the Big Ugly. Beyond the glass taped to their fists, lightubes come into play in this match and is a hard fought bloodfest. Disc 1 then wraps up with a 6 man tag match between The Reno Scum and the Cartel which is another match that ends up as a big street fight.
Disc 2 shows you more of Luxury/Thornstowe’s best of 7 series starting with a Falls count anywhere matchup, and followed up by a steel cage match. The second dvd is headlined by the 7th match between the pair in a 1 hour hardcore iron man match to determine who is the best man in California. It is joined a few minutes in progress but you don?t miss much and is an great send off to what seems to have been a very violent feud, It was voted 2007 match of the year and for the matchups from the series alone this DVD justifies the 14.95 price tag if your into hardcore.
Extras are limited to a couple of big spot featurettes including a crowd toss and a double foot stomp onto a ref from the top rope. Also included is a complete match between Rik Luxury and Mr Prime Time.
Looking beyond the initial PR and taking into consideration that your watching an indy wrestling DVD, the bottom line is this is a strong hardcore wrestling dvd release. If you?re a fan of the style then you?ll enjoy this DVD immensely as the action is intense and extremely satisfying for any death match mark out there including myself. If you consider hardcore ?garbage wrestling? then steer clear cause you wont be able to handle the brutality of the territory’s most violent matchups.

Tony Popovic says the Wanderers will be intent on maintaining their strong away record in Asia when the Red & Black take on Chinese heavyweights Shanghai SIPG tonight at Shanghai Stadium.
The Wanderers are undefeated in their last five away fixtures in the Asian Champions League, a feat Popovic credits to his side’s self-belief.
“The players when we come away from home have a lot of belief that we can win. We have a lot of belief that we can show how strong Australian football is and that we can compete with the big teams in Asia [who have] a lot of resources.
“We’ve shown that we can do that in the past and we hope to continue that record. I’ll be very happy if that record continues.”
The Red & Black have scored in every single of their previous matches against Chinese opposition and will need to be at the top of their game if they are to match the firepower of Shanghai SIPG’s star-studded squad.
“We can see they are a very aggressive team, they like to press and play forward, they have some very good players in the front third.
“We understand that it will be a difficult challenge but I think we’ve shown in the past, although our resources are not like the Asian teams, we’ve shown that we have been good enough.
“We've won the Champions League with a lot of spirit, a lot belief, a lot of togetherness and we have some very good players,” he reflected.
The Wanderers are balancing both the domestic and continental competition and Popovic says the Club will be placing equal importance on both.
“Firstly, we take importance in the Champions League and also our domestic competition is very important because if you have success in the domestic competition you then have the opportunity of playing in the Champions League.
“We’re delighted to be here once again in the Champions League. We’re past winners and it’s our third time playing in the Champions League and we look forward to a great match against Shanghai SIPG.”
For MSc students we offer the opportunity to do a MSc thesis project and to do an internship elsewhere under our supervision.
An internship is different from a MSc thesis project. In practice, the activities may be similar, but the objective is different. The objective is that you learn to function in an institutional environment and culture, which is different from your own university and which will resemble the environment of your job in future.
