Ralph Leighton
Welcome!
I have uploaded MP3 files of six CDs pertaining to Richard Feynman and Tuva,
plus a free sampler (selected MP3 files and artwork) of all six.
In addition, look for free downloadable highlights from "Los Alamos From Below" (a commemorative CD that appears with the book CLASSIC FEYNMAN), and a special composition: "Drumming With Feynman."
Finally, there's a math book for kids that I wrote back in the 1970s with Carl Feynman, whose original illustrations were enhanced by my sister in law, Linda Leighton. I hope you enjoy them all.

Drumming With Feynman: Adventures of a Curious Character
Richard Feynman, Ralph Leighton, and Tom Rutishauser drum, while Feynman tells highlights of "Los Alamos From Below," a story captured on the 75-minute commemorative CD included with the book CLASSIC FEYNMAN, published by W. W. Norton in November, 2005. Leighton created this composition to recall how the "adventures of a curious character" in CLASSIC FEYNMAN were told. (Length: 2:22)

Ondar & Feynman: TUVA TALK (MP3 audio files and artwork for download)
This special project begins with Richard Feynman recounting the Tuva story, augmented by Tuvan throat-singing master Kongar-ol Ondar and drummers Ralph Leighton and Tom Rutishauser. It is followed by five tracks of distinctive rhythms, topped off by a shamanic chant in Tuvan honoring Feynman performed by Ondar (the same selection can be found on "Echoes of Tuva"). A unique tribute to Richard Feynman.

Echoes of Tuva (MP3 audio files and artwork for download)
This is a tour de force by Tuvan throat-singing master Kongar-ol Ondar, recorded in Pasadena's historic City Hall. His haunting "Medley in the style of Ondar" was featured in Werner Herzog's documentary film "Little Dieter Needs to Fly," in Johnny O'Reilly's short film "The Terms," and in the Slamdance entry "Guatemalan Handshake." Concludes with a shamanic chant in honor of the legendary physicist and adventurer Richard Feynman (the same selection can be found on "Tuva Talk").
