Seven Styles of Tuvan Throat Singing - Neatorama

I'm still on my overtone singing kick: here's Alexander Glenfield demonstrating the seven styles of Tuvan Throat Singing, a method of singing which produces sounds that no human throats should be able to make. It's like having a flute inside your throat!

The overtones can be subtle - if you don't hear it, you may want to upgrade your computer speakers. Hit play or go to Link [YouTube]

I wish I could sing overtones. It'd be a neat party trick.

I've always been intrigued by throat-singing. I looked into it when I read that Richard Feynman, American physicist, was enamored of it and, I believe, visited Tuva.

This young man is utterly amazing at it. Thanks for posting this.

Can't wait for the autotune version.

Yeah, Khomeii Borbangnadyr was the stand-out. Is it just me or was he actually singing 3 different notes? The bass note, a harmonic an octave above *and* a melody too.

Un-be-lie-vable.

But the most important question:
Alex, can you overtone sing?
