I find this interesting because for Khoomei style, he is singing overtunes. Which is really cool. And the rest of the types of throat singing are equally as interesting. I kind of tied this together with the idea of have a pitch come from within yourself. Just because it seems that these pitches are often put with spiritual events.

I will admit, at first this video made me uncomfortable. However, once I tuned my ear to the overtones I realized that like singing tonal music or like playing an instrument, this is another form of creating beautiful sounds. Great find, Xeno!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I never knew there were so many different styles of throat singing! You can really hear all the overtones when he's singing. This is a great example of all the different sounds the human voice is able to create. It makes you wonder what other sounds the human voice can make, but maybe in its higher voice.
ReplyDeleteI have secretly wished I could do this, but I know it would be very weird. It truly is just another way of producing sound, but it's unique in it's own way. I really want to know not only what instruments, but other voices are capapble of performing.
ReplyDeleteOK, at first I thought this was really eerie, but it is actually super interesting! Part of me wonders if it is healthy, but since it has survived for hundreds of years, it must be! I think the various styles of singing are really interesting, from Western singing to this to Indian style. Super cool!
