The story behind this video: a couple of weeks ago, i transcribed Hoist the Colours. At one point, Bobby waters sings an F below the staff as a subharmonic. I didn’t write it down because I thought it was my ears playing up and didn’t think it was possible - the comments corrected me and I went down a rabbit hole of subharmonic singing and wanted to share it with you all.
Thanks to a cold that I've had for the past week or so that's given me a nasty sore throat, I've been able to croak even "lower" than this. It didn't sound nice though.
in my uni, if we have a course with 100+ students, we will be taking exam in a big hall. And boy the call of nature from someone's stomach is incredibly loud while everyone is doing math :)
There's a guy right now who has the record for the lowest voice that can go below 20 hz. Microphones still pick it up, which is how we measure that ofc. Don't know if he sings though.
@@clarabatty8696 Only true for pure fundamental tones, the harmonics of complex waves can still be heard as pitch. In some cases, if the ratios of the harmonics are correct, the brain can perceive a solid fundamental tone for pitches well below 20hz even if the ear itself can't "hear" it! I love this stuff XD
@@rustyjames1727 Death metal growls use false chords like mentioned above. One way to achive this is to start with kargyraa (mongolian throat singing) and basically put more pressure on it until it distorts to a roaring sound. If you are too lazy to practise kargyraa, you can also do it by starting with an either really annoyed and raspy sigh noise or sustained throat clearing. That might however not always lead to the desired result. Ken turner (in this video) is using subharmonics. There the vocal chords (not false chords) vibrate a perfect fifth apart. The interference of those different frequencies produces a note that is exactly one octave below the lower frequency. If the interval is not a perfect fifth but instead a perfect fourth, the frequency of the resulting note would be one octave and a perfect fifth below the lower frequency. That is also called the second subharmonic. The subharmonic series is theoretically infinite, but higher levels of subharmonics are generally extremely difficult to reach or sustain. That is the reason why 99% of all subharmonic notes are probably the first subharmonic.The highest level i have ever heard was the fourth subharmonic and the fifth subharmonic in kargyraa. And yes, death growls based on a second subharmonic kargyraa note should be possible too. But then they will probably stop sounding like roars and become actual growls/snarls.
By the way, there are actually singers in the bass world who utilise actual growls in their singing in tune. If you're interested, search up some Tim Foust stuff (especially "Ring of Fire" and "I Want Crazy" from the Sing-Off), he uses this exact "growl" to sing in-tune, which has a different texture to the sound and is crazy in another way.
This is Ken Turner. He’s is in his mid 80s now and can still hit this C1 (in fact there are some recordings from the last few years of him doing it) although he was in his prime as a bass in this recording. His chest range went down to about a G#1 and subharmonics down to this C1. One of the great bass singers and the first to do subharmonics in a professional setting
I don't know a lot about how different octaves are labeled. I also read your comment before watching the video. So when I read C1, I thought to me: I'm a Baritone and my deepest note is usually around E and I can get a C maybe on 3 days per year. But There are Basses in my choir that can usually go down to an A. My conclusion was that a C nothing special for a true Bass, but I know that you lose a lot of vocal range with age and so I though that a C might still be very impressive at this age. When I watched the video I knew that was thinking about the wrong C...
This is gonna sound bonkers but it's actually because of the tremendous amount of air control required. When he hits that low C (the lowest note I've ever heard sung by a human btw), he almost passes out from it. It literally makes you light headed
@@TheophilosPorter A mic especially, but the vocal fry register used in music is a fairly recent development. You'll almost never see anything lower than an E just below the bass clef staff in classical music. Usually they like to keep the singing in the chest voice instead of the extreme extensions you'll see these days.
@@OliviaSNava Actually in “Ulisse returns to Itaca” of Monteverdi there is Neptune that hit C below bass clef. Also, but this only is Orthodox Cristian music, there are cases were some singer specialised in bass chorus can hit B flat below bass clef!
@@magnamon88 in Russian orthodox music you can find all the way down to Gs and Fs below the bass clef too! The oktavists. And the tenors up to top Bs and all as well, nutty.
@@magnamon88 True, I did say "almost never". It does happen from time to time, but a significant majority of bass parts in classical music don't go into that register.
I’m less impressed by how low he can sing (which is still very impressive), and more impressed at how well the low notes fit within the song. Especially at “every cloud” where the low note created a rumbling sound just like a thunderstorm which reflects the lyrics said right after. Chef’s kiss
@The Wardcliff Coil Also factoring in how much oxygen the dude is going through to hit those notes he's probably high as a kite right then lol. I was worried he was going to black out even though that would have been the title of the video
Even his chest voice (i.e. what you normally use for speaking and lower singing most of the time) goes down to around Ab1 or G1 (though he usually uses subs for that as well), so without subharmonics his voice is STILL lower than more than 99% of people.
RIGHT?! I have a very deep voice, and people tell me I need to do radio all the time, and I can sing about an octave lower than I talk, but this man, yeah no you put it perfectly. I'm on the surface, this man is in the inner core.
in the vocal quartet/barbershop world, that's called a "tag", and quartets have to practise 'em a ton, so there's a bunch of really good examples if you go down the barbershop rabbithole. Especially by groups like After Hours back in their prime.
This is southern gospel music. My dad is a professional southern gospel singer and I grew up around a lot of quartets. They have some of the best bass singers in the world.
This is called subharmonics. It's a technique where you use your vocal fry an octave lower than your voice, and when they match pitch, you're singing an octave lower. Theres a few A Capella and barbershop singers that can do it and do so regularly, and after a few months of practice, I can do it pretty consistently.
@@danteliberatore that's literally what subharmonics are. Your vocal fry modulates the pitch being sung by your chest voice, and you end up with a sound that contains both the sum and the difference frequencies iirc. In general they're a result of interference of two sound waves inside your vocal apparatus. Chest/fry mix at the same frequency is the zero-order subharmonic.
If you want bass like this Geoff Castelluci and Tim Foust are great examples. They've both hit a B0 before and have around a 5-6 octave range. They're insane as well!
The dude next to him totally gets it too, he can hardly stop laughing because he's been alive for sixty something years and ain't NEVER seen anything like this
@@dominikschaller as someone who’s been a musician for 25 years, and who has performed in groups for most of it: when something hits right, it doesn’t matter how many millions of times you’ve heard it before. When it hits, it hits. And for all we know this was the best take they ever did.
@Justin Wescott And if you are a great musician, you recognize how incredibly difficult it is to hit it right - in fact, at the time of this recording there was only one person on earth who could do this.

I can 100% with confidence say this. I can 100% say with 100% confidence that the gentleman standing next to him had never experienced that note before - unless it was from Ken himself. Please, get off your high horse.
I came to hear the bass as I have an admiration for the basso profundo / octavist, but I am a first tenor. I hit the Eb, but it took two tries...it's been a while since I've sung on a regular basis...good to know I can still get there at 54.
@@AlucardTheVampire5784 You're telling me you can both hit a C1 and an Eb5 in chest voice? I guess you are the person with the widest range on the planet lmao
If you want a killer subharmonic artist check out Geoff Castellucci. He's known for his insane range. At one point he went from a chest B4 to a sub E1 in a few seconds.
Up to this point, the only low low voice I really heard was Hades from the Hadestown musical. This blew me away, and was much lower than the other one. I never thought you could get that low.
