Shaman - according to religious beliefs, a person endowed
with special abilities to communicate with spirits and supernatural powers,
entering into an ecstatic state...
Shamanic music includes both music used as part of
shamans' rituals and music that refers to, or draws on, this. A shaman's ritual
is a ritual and not a musical performance, and this shapes its musical
dimension. In shamanism the shaman has a more active musical role than the
medium in spirit-possession. A shaman uses various ways of making sounds to
which different purposes are ascribed. Of particular importance are the
shaman's song and shaman's drumming. Recently in Siberia, music groups drawing
on a knowledge of shamanic culture have emerged. In the West shamanism has served
as an imagined background to musics meant to alter a listener's state of mind.
Korea and Tibet are two cultures where the music of shamanic ritual has
interacted closely with other traditions...
The shaman's song - or algysh in Tuvan - is personal to the shaman and
tells of her or his birth-place, initiation, ancestral pedigree, special gifts
and special connections to particular spirits. The melody and words are
composed by the shaman and generally remain the same throughout the shaman's
professional life. The algysh is often sung near the beginning of the ritual
and accompanied by drumming on the dungur drum. It serves to remind the shaman
of their shamanic identity and power. It proclaims the shaman's abilities and
announces the shaman to the spirits. In some traditions the shaman's song may
be broken up into short sections, varied and recombined in different
performances..
Korea is the only country where shamanism appears to have
been a state religion practiced by the literate classes, during the Three
Kingdoms Period (57BC-668AD). Under successive dynasties shamanism was
gradually relegated to a popular or folk status with the arrival of
Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The early official status of shamanism is
the probable explanation for the fact that shamanic ritual in Korea developed
highly complex and established forms. Correspondingly the music used in
shamanic rituals is more elaborate in Korea than elsewhere. Furthermore, since
the emergence of Korean contemporary nationalism, there has been a strong and
sustained state intervention to preserve artistic traditions

Before Buddhism came to Tibet, the local form of
shamanism was Bön. Bön developed into an organised religion. When Buddhism
arrived, both religions began competing with each other, and incorporated many
of each other's practices. The Bön shaman's drum on a pole became part of
Tibetan Buddhist ritual music ensembles. Also, the shang - a kind of
bell-cymbal - became incorporated in Buddhist rituals. It was formerly only
used by shamans to clear away negative energy before shamanic rituals . The
practice of giving a sonorous identity to deities, of calling them and sending
them back by means of sounds, may well have entered Tibetan Buddhist ritual
from Bön tradition

A shaman may use different sounds for different ritual
purposes
Setting up the sound-space of the ritual
A very important element in Siberian shamanism is the use
of hanging metallic objects - possibly including small bells - attached to the
shaman's ritual cloak and to the inside of the drum and also sometimes to the
beater. This sets up a continuously moving sound field, heard as a single
complex sound].A further element is the spatialisation of sound brought about
not only by the shaman's movement, but also by techniques of singing into the
drum to create the illusion of the voice coming from elsewhere. Different
individual shamans and different local traditions may use different sounds. For
example, in the south of Tuva and in Mongolia the khomus, or jaw harp is
commonly used in shamanising ...
Preparation
Particular sounds, like bells, may be used for purifying
the place in which the ritual is to be performed..]. This is because a ritual
involving contact with the spirits is always potentially dangerous, and one of
the dangers is that of pollution.
Calling and sending back spirits
A bell may also be used for calling or sending back
spirits... Shamans will also imitate the sounds of birds and animals in order
to call spirits... Sami shamanic singing, called Joik, is also about summoning,
for example, animal spirits, rather than singing about them or representing
them: the spirit is experienced as being present..
Healing
Within shamanic ritual, sound can also be used as a
healing power, conceived as a way of directing spiritual energy from the shaman
into an afflicted person.. In Tuva sick
persons are said to have been healed by the sound of a stringed instrument made
from a tree struck by lightning.
