I was really sad the article didn’t have a video of the hymns it spoke of, I’m similarly really interested now w in seeing an example of pitch accent you speak of in action, could you please link a video which you feel shows it well in play? Thanks!

for something truly mindblowing, try sanskrit trance!

shanti people - tandava (david garry x dion 2017 club edit) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8w3R5yEBhcY

shanti people - mahishasura mardini (droplex remix) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4em0Wh8ZgR0

it is a ukrainian group i believe, the singer gets very little pronounciation 'off', atleast in these two vids

Sure, here is an example of the rudram chanted in ghanam mode, there is a brief example given in the beginning similar to what i explained in my above comment. This is from the yajur Veda I believe, some scholars date these chants close to 3000 years old. https://youtu.be/5VP-NTPEjGg

A ghanam of the famous “Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya” of the ancient brihadaranyaka.
