It is amazing to experience how our focus can change the perception of the world around us. Is not only an hearing test, it is a life changing understanding! Wonderful
What's amazing is that you can sing with normal vowels and at the same time sing the melody...just wow!
SO useful for Clarinetists... lets go 5ths and 3rds! Bravo!
I did hear it after the second example. What I find more amazing to hearing or not is how you can do that with your voice!
I have done overtone singing myself a lot. When people ask me how the hell someone can possibly do that, I often suggest them to try whispering in a tight breath (with no voice at all; imagine that you would have brakes on your breathing as you have brakes on your car; so you're using a lot of pressure as if breathing super-fast but you're tightening it with some force because you want your breath to be slow, not fast). This way, the resonances in your mouth get amplified enormously and suddenly many vowels will sound to you like at least two pitches sounding at the same time (for example, when you go from "ahhh" to "ehhh", the upper pitch goes up while the lower pitch goes down; and if you do it gradually, you can hear it even better). So in the end, a sequence of whispered vowels is essentially a melody played on the musical instrument called your own mouth.
Languages like Chinese or Vietnamese have the property that the intonation can change the meaning of the word and many European people find this thing peculiar. But hang on, the words "four" and "far" and "fair" and "fear" have different meanings too, don't they? It's just that instead of changing the intonation of my voice, I change the intonation of the resonances in my mouth. That's all there is to it. Try whispering those words and you should hear the upper pitch going higher and higher.
P.S.: Speaking of reducing the information even further, some people might find it interesting to hear the way Tuvan or Mongolian singers make the actual pitch of the vocal cords softer (applying a method similar to what I described, only this time including their voice, not just whispering). This way, the brain won't be tempted so much to focus on the fundamental pitch.
I SCREAMED “I HEAR IT NOW!” When it finally hit for me!
This is awesome. I sing barbershop harmony and I'm always stunned when people say they can't hear the overtones. But this is fascinating!
Before I learned about this it's actually really screwed me up in junior high choir call monk because I have a very large sinus cavity, so I would end up picking up the overtones I was singing sometimes And be worried I was singing a different note than I was supposed to, which would not have been nearly As big of a deal were I not the only male in jr high choir.
Knowing this, though, it makes singing harmony unbelievably easy, As just from listening to the overtones produced when I sing a Note, I have immediate access to all of the Relevant harmonies, with the rare exception of a jazz chord being played underneath
insane the hell how can you do something like that thats just amazing thx i hope i can train this type of listening and get a better sound engineer
That was fascinating, because I've always been interested in overtones! I am an opera singer and clarinetist who doubles on sax and flute, and in both roles, one has to be aware of overtones in the sound and tune those as well as the fundamental to be in tune in an ensemble. Beyond that, I was hearing clarinetists who had incredible "ping" in their sound, and I knew it had to be their overtone mix, and I searched and searched for exactly what they were doing to get that effect. When questioned, they could not tell me, or maybe they didn't understand what I was asking. I studied voice after clarinet, and really started hearing overtone differences in voices. Some people naturally have voices just 'buzzing' with overtones, while others have a relatively 'white' sound. Also, when the 'singer's formant' was discussed, it was clearly related to resonance of sinus, nasal, and bocal cavities. As a teacher of clarinet, I have most often referenced overtones when introducing registers on the instrument to beginners, along with the voicing required to achieve those upper registers. This is also applicable on sax, and maybe moreso, since the instrument does not have the easier access to the altissimo registers, or at least, easy control of them.
All of the above was context for what I heard in this experiment. First, I should say that I listened to the first example about 3 times before advancing any further in the video, because I did not want any hints. So then, this is what I heard: the first time, I was immediately distracted by the words being sung, figuring out what language it was (though the presenter had already said they were nonsense syllables), and also by the buzzy lower partials and fundamental of the sound. I could hear that there were higher partials, but not enough of them to get a tune out of it. The second time, I noticed the 2 phrases, how long they were and what the basic rhythm was, and thought what pieces fit that pattern, and of course, the ode to joy was the first thing I thought of. So I listened with that in mind the third time, and could faintly pick out the tune, up higher than I had been focusing on. Of course, once you removed some of the 'interference', it was much easier to hear.
Very nice, only this one has to explain a young person who has never heard this beautiful music - and probably will never hear in this fast-moving time!?!
Thank you very much and I wish you all the best from Hamburg,
Thomas
Fascinating! I dived into Vocal Acoustics just recently, so this video is a big help! Thank you!
This is amazing! At first i couldn't hear it, but after the explanation it just made sense for my brain and could hear it without even trying to.
Fantastic demonstration and explanation.
youre a true master. greetings from Mexico.
Amazing to hear. So interesting!
Amazing!!!!
Suddenly I started to it and then it was there forever.
This was an amazing video! I'm trying to train my ear so that I can play by ear one day
this is so beautiful
Wow, heard it only after the third example, so interesting!
Sehr lehrreich.
That's amazing 👍
Are you intentionally singing a bit flat on the perfect fourth of the melody, to compensate for the "4th" of the harmonic series that's about 1/4 step high? It sounds like that to me, at least at 4:42 mark.
Though, at 6:20 it sounds like it's the slightly sharp 4th as it appears in the harmonic series.
Thanks for the video! Where can I find more examples of singing where the main melody is in the overtones?
That is one of the most mind boggling experience I've had! Truly awesome
Very cool. At first I could not here it. Then I replayed it in my head while he spoke durimg the video and could pick it out. Then after watching the whole video I could totally hear the whole melody in the first go around. Wild!
Got it the first time, but I've done a little overtone singing so there's that.
I couldn‘t hear it so clear, but I heared a change of pitch in the first example.Is this a good sign?
It sounds remarkably like Buddhist chanting--especially the first one.
I can hear them, the only thing I’m confused about is how he does it. Like how he sings it
Hab es gleich gehört
Got it 1st time.😊 .A lovely surprise.
Thanks for the earworm 😜I took the left side headphone out as soon as you said the right hemisphere processed frequencies, and then I immediately heard it. I was surprised at how much lower the overtones where compared to where I expected them to be
I herd an overtone on the second one
sensationell
when he sings them like the way its laid out sounds like ode to joy i could be wrong but thats what i think it is
Edit: I knew it. also when he sing it from 4:32 to 4:51 i can actually hear it
Heard it the first time!
Are you a criminal defense attorney
@@mystified2356 oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
I can hear bits of notes on the first sample but i cant hear the complete melody. I am mind blown
Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Easy to hear.
Well, I heard the overtones right away, but I came here from Anna-Maria Hefele's "polyphonic overtone singing explained visually" page, so that's probably cheating.
Буквы в паутине нот!
Полигласобежание!

Ode to joy
Ode to joy.
Absolutely ridiculous.
