Schnider Horn...?

Who the fuck is this guy? It popped up on my iPod the other day and I haven't a clue where it came from. It's a download of an album though it only plays as a single track so I have no song titles and consists of a combination of yodelling, tuvan throat singing, accordian and french horn which, at a guess, are all being performed by the same guy. I don't have a clue where it came from but I'm thinking someone here is 'to blame'. It's a truly original combination of styles and I'd recommend it to anyone who's comfortable stumbling in the dark, faulty torch in hand, opening dust moted musical cupboards for treasures.

It doesn't turn up on a Google search so I'm not convinced of the name. The only other info is 'Yodel Boss' as an album title, but I suspect this is merely comment.

I suspect the spelling is out, probably being 'Schneider' and I'm doubtful about the 'Horn' as well. All told there isn't really much to go on other than the description of the music itself.

Hmm... I might add that it is possible it came off of a friend's ipod if people are giving me the cold shoulder, or maybe the collective is stumped?!

I'll continue to talk to myself here and add: It does indeed come off of a mate's machine and might actually be a project of his brother. I'll keep myself posted on that one when I have more info.

two weeks pass...

'...dunno nothing about him, Schnilde Horn is an approximation of his name, someone told me what he was called once.

A german recorded it for my friend Emma when she expressed an interest in yodeling.

All we know is that he's german. I've tried looking him up on the internet but havent found anything else by him, or found out his real name.....

... if you find anything let us know'
