    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

      @guitardipu 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      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.

    Alex, you've got to have been practicing a LOT, to get this good at OS. You (and I'm of course guessing) didn't learn this from a very early age, but started "later" in life, yet your efforts result in what I can only describe as the most crisp performance I've heard anywhere.

    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.

      A Demon of any form cannot possess you or take control of your body. They can only manipulate you to do things. I know this because of the fact that I'm Pagan. Also, Demons don't come from Hell. Hell is a concept that the Christians made up to symbolized going inside a Dragon's mouth, which is a ritual in my tradition; and, you don't burn, you gain knowledge their. Demons, along with any other 'Mythical' creature come from another dimension, and most Demons aren't even evil. :P

Experiment, make reasonable and playful adjustments to your sound, record yourself and listen, and do it every day. Probably, however, there are some physiological aptitudes that might make one person more able to amplify the harmonics than another. At the dentist a while back, x-rays revealed that my sinuses sit very low and almost to the roots of my teeth and hard palette. But who knows!?
