The demonstration of ezengileer on "Seven Styles of Overtone Singing" is a less pure example of the traditional style than the one heard here. But as we all know, tradition is notoriously impure. Tradition is as about as pure as the air we breathe.

The local instrument is, by far, the most complex of any instrument I could ever imagine, especially since there is no definitive guide showing that you are using the proper musculature, in the proper way, as you could tell by your finger placement with sax or piano, for example. Additionally, you have various sets of vocal folds, a significant amount of different resonant chambers, as well as a glottis, epiglottis, and tongue that can divert the flow of air from one to another, not to mention the different vowels. If you are interested in hearing some of the odd lengths the human voice can go to, listen to some of Mike Portnoy's stuff

TheJXP5 I agree. But Anne-Marie uses western overtone singing as opposed to Throat Singing.

@guitardipu 7 жыл бұрын

TheJXP5 : Yes i have seen her videos and she has a stellar technique, she easily mimics the "autotune" effect in her overtones. But the reason, why I admire Alex is, he actually has mastered the Mongolian throat singing, you can also hear similar technique in Bhutanese Gompas (monasteries), the monks chants their mantras in a deepest baritone monotone voice, a very strong vibration. If you ever visit Mongolia, or Bhutan you will feel these vibes.

@MrJBoma Yes, the vocal technique is identical to the subtone singing of Sardinian quartets. I have not heard much of the bass tenore voice that moves around melodically. The choirs do place lots of spiritual emphasis on the "quintina", which is the virtual fifth voice consisting entirely of harmonics. The quintina seems to appear out of thin air.

Great job, especially on the khoor kargyraa. As a baritone who can't sing low anymore, I've used the kargyraa technique to augment the bass section of my choir on long notes so that I didn't have to try strohbass, so I know how tricky it can be to change your fundamental while keeping that subharmonic going.

Throat singing doesn't actually require a very strong air flow. If you've got the technique down, then it's not difficult to do it for a while without breathing. Haha the hard part is being able to sound good doing it.

The main thing is to get the muscles in your throat right. How you breathe comes naturally, since you quickly realise you don't need much air. Just breathe like you're humming quietly, I guess.

I was in Tuva a couple times and took a few lessons with Sergei Ondar and Fedor Tau, but the Tuvan way of learning is very much just a matter of listening and repeating: straight ahead call and answer. It works! if you really listen.
