did you hear about "canto a tenore" of Sardinia? Is probably the last throat singing we have in Europe. Is a combination of throat singing ad normal singing. Each village in Sardinia have its style. th-cam.com/video/z-m3V1cwnPY/w-d-xo.html
I like how Brandon just casually dropped he can throat singing like it's no big deal.
Of course he can do this. He lived in Mongolia for over 150 years.
Mortal isnt a multi instrumentalist
Idk why but I know many classical guitarists (myself included) who are also vocalists
“hi, I’m Brandon Acker. I’m a freaking amazing musician…aaaaaaand I can Mongolian Throat Sing. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.”
But I can throat sing… aren’t we all nerds though?
I visited Mongolia and can confirm “this is about horses” or “because horses” is probably the most common explanation of everything. :p
Haha as a Mongolian I confirm this to be true.
Understandable. Horses are pretty great.
a surprising amount of Russian history is explained as "because the Mongolians had horses"
they visited Portland. when one of them translated the song as "Without a horse, how will I find my love?" everybody in the audience laughed.
Thought this was based on the Tibetan Chant?
Fun fact: the man doing the Sadukaar throat singing in the Dune Scene is Michael Geiger. He is one of my professors whom I've studied vocal pedagogy with during my undergrad at APU.
There's also an awesome interview with him on TH-cam in which he explains a lot of stuff.
Awesome
Zimmer also said it wasn't throat singing. The singer was singing the track and then a compressor was added and the dials swung back and forth to the extremes to get the effect.
@@cchavezjr7 not true. I've seen and heard him myself. He can do it with his bare voice
@@ehudzechariahschmidt7036 th-cam.com/video/93A1ryc-WW0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=r8ez68U1MkCmw77c&t=248
i saw a show with huun huur tu and they introduced almost every song with "this song is about horses" which was just kinda cool
also, 'ancestors' came up a couple of times :D
I’ve seen them live twice now, it’s an experience I can only recommend. They are amazing in person, very powerful stuff…and indeed, a lot of horses.
I watched one of the videos with them in which they actually teach throat singing and the American guy introducing them (who studied over in Tuva) said, "all the songs are about horses, women or nature without exceptions" 😂.
I'd like to recommend Khartyga, they are awesome. Amazing band
I saw them live in Utrecht, The Netherlands.. It was one of the most magical evenings of my life.. got pretty high with a friend. The best part is there was a break in the show and we went outside to smoke some more. All the Huun Huur Tu members came outside in their traditional clothes to smoke a cigarette, a bottle of heineken in the other hand. Made me love them even more.
What the heck, who knew Brandon Acker had yet another godlike talent
When you're a vampire, you have a lot of time to learn new things.
@@LostSoulAscension😂
it's not talent, he have just explained how to do it
i literally came here to say the exact same thing LMAO@@LostSoulAscension
"godlike talent" cmon man..
I love the thought of Brandon and his mates just sitting around chilling and one of them just coming out with "wouldn't it be really cool to throat sing?" and them practicing it every night for months
This is the most music student thing I have ever heard
Funnily enough it was me as a music obsessed cs student too LOL
That is genuinely the exact way that I figured out how to do it, except I was alone. I'm not a music student, I'm just a bit odd.
This is exactly how I learned to throat sing lol
What are the odds that a bong was being passed around during that?
I came across Mongolian throat singing before Dune 1 aired for the first time, when my oldest kid was a newborn and wouldn’t fall sleep with any other music or lullabies.
This sound helped him, so naturally, as a desperate rookie father, I mastered it.
When Dune 1 came out I was like … my son finds calm in the same soothing songs the Sadukaar do.
The Bene Gesserit would like to know your location
He shall know your ways as if born to them…
I do exactly the same for my son right now!
I'm starting to believe that Brandon is actually a 300 year old vampire who gathered music knowledge through all these years and now he's sharing it with us and therefore exposing himself little by little as a vampire.
Only starting? I’ve been convinced of it for several year now.
his twin is actually his spare body.
oh significantly older than 300 years, he can play renaissance instruments and older
My friend's son throat sings and plays multiple instruments, including those from indigenous tribes.
He's autistic and such a beautiful soul. He creates such magical music.
okay, good to know
I might be the son.
Not sure why, but I'm obsessed with how both Dune films open with those short Sharduakar language blurbs. It's just so freakin' cool. I could listen to all day.
I will die on the hill of "Brandon is actually the nicest vampire lord in existence" and no one can change my mind
whoa, as mongolian, i never expected one of my favourite youtuber/musician likes mongolian ethnic musics. impressive
Everyone loves mongolian music. The only ones who don't like it are the ones who never heard a mongolian traditional song. Once you get into mongolian music you immediately love it😂
And Tuvan, man
@@BrokenTieagree 100
Batsorig Vaanchig and the HU ftw
I love how Brandon just appreciates music in all its aspects!
I was blown away by Mongolian Throat Singing when I watched the movie, "Genghis Blues.," in the 1990s. It tells of more than just the singing, but also the subject of some of the songs and the philosophy to which the song responds. Thank you, Brandon, for reminding me to try to cultivate this musical technique.
Ghengis Blues is great, but it’s Tuvan not Mongolian!
So, different accent. NBD, but glad you got to post something. @@jamie6373
I'm all up with the throat singing thing but Reginald Mobley is just sublime.
Watching this as a proud Mongolian. My late grandpa used to sing like this.
in 5 mins i've not only learned to throat sing (at least how to get the sound) but it also cracked the code for how to get that metal scream sound (which I've been trying to figure out for freaking years)
now I have even more tools to be even more annoying
I saw Huun Huur Tu live. They opened with Ancestor's Call and it was powerful and moving beyond words.
Your way of presenting is so modest natural and modest.
I very much appreciate how you actually explain HOW you managed to make the sound in a way someone else can try to follow. I'm not sure if I'll actually try it yet, but I have an idea how to start thanks to this video.
Very cool! You're the first person to explain this so well.
Looking forward to the lute x throat singing vids 👀
That motorcycle “vroom” tip really helped me get close to that vibration. Thanks so much! I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while.
I love the sadukaar throat club mix. Takes it to a whole new level.
Sweet. Learned how to throat sing in less than 5 minutes. "Badink" 🏆"Achievement unlocked"
Wow, who would've thought Brandon would get us into Mongolian throat singing? Given my Mongolian roots, I've always known about this cool singing style. Kargyraa is just a piece of the massive Khoomei throat singing puzzle, which includes all sorts of awesome overtone and undertone techniques. I haven't got the hang of undertone yet, but I'm currently getting the knack of overtone singing. Brandon, you absolutely killed it!
I salute you Brandon for your humility, but you definitely deserve more credit than you give yourself !
so fun to see you making a video about Dune in this context
Thank you so much! I can't explain how much this made me happy! I can actually kind of do it now, I've been trying this for a long time. Thank you for making it this simple!
Yo, I really didn't think you'd make a video on our culture! Love it!
This was so unexpected, yet somehow so unsurprising at the same time 😂
"the HU" are my favorite. You're pretty good at it! I'm healing from throat cancer and radiation on my vocal chords so I can barely talk. And now, as an artist, I'm obsessed with it! thank you! SUBBED!
this actually unlocked my throat singing, thanks dude
I've tried to throat sing FOREVER and somehow your explanation about having to vibrate my bestivular folds and to resonate with my chest made something kick in in my brain and like in two minutes i was throat singing loudly and with no pain this is insane
Nice! I've been a fan of Huun Huur Tu for years! Thanks for making this video Brandon!
If anyone's interested in how this might sound in a rock setting, I highly recommend bands like Yat-Kha and Hartyga
omg a friend and I just had the idea to learn this the other day and now you're dropping this video. perfect timing
This guy explained it well enough that I could do it within a couple minutes. Good stuff!
Dude I've been practicing throat singing with various YT tutorials for 2 weeks, never got as close as I wanted it.
After your suggestion it worked within a minute
Kargyraa has been used in TV and film for decades now. I have followed Huun Huur Tu since the late 90s but recently got to see Alash Ensemble. Prepping for the show I was surprised that I like their recordings better than Huun Huur Tu, although it's hard to beat their recordings with the Bulgarian Voices. It was such a great experience seeing Tuvan music live.
what a lovely guy, got recommended this out of the blue and now I’m doing my best to learn it. Thanks!
I saw them live in Chicago years ago and it was truly an amazing experience
Didn't think I've ever need to master this skill, but now I do! 👌
Seeing this live with The Hu was something else. Another great band that does this style of throat singing, and arguably now the most internationally famous.
Great band. Those sort of epic metal bands like The Hu and Amon Amarth are just the jam for the gym/ riding motorcycles
Hahahaha I love it, 3 years ago I got really into dune and then last summer I got really into tuva and especially huun huur tu and your channel so it's always just fun to have all the interests come together. Haha your kargyraa was pretty good too
This man can do all the things
Having lived thousands of years gives you plenty of time to learn all the skills.
Woah! I did that motorbike sound and got it! I LOVED that part in Dune with the Sardukar chant.
Huun huur tu came to my high school. Blew my mind. The throat singing in dune had an amazing effect.
This is unbelievably cool. Really amazed.
That's actually a pretty common beatbox sound and we call it "throat bass". Almost all tutorials say to try to clean your throat and try to focus on the vibration that that action does in your throat, when you get it, just try to extend it and drink a lot of water because it'll probably hurt a bit.
Discovered I could do this by accident and didn't know what it was, thats for helping put a name to the technique! Now i can learn how to do it better
Hearing you describe trying it reminded me of something I did when I was younger, whistling and humming at the same time. It's sounds like a very similar effect is happening to the sound when trying it. It sounds like you're humming and whistling at the same time until you hit the right pitch and they become one
Throat singing is so cool. Never found a way to incorporate it into music I write, but the technique is crazy.
I saw first DUNE four times in cinema and that throat singing gave me goosebumps every single time. Hans Zimmer did tons of fun stuff while making DUNE soundtrack, dude's just unbelievable music mastermind. :D
I also got super obsessed with Huun Huur Tu in my teens and taught myself how to do it! I saw them live in Utrecht, The Netherlands.. It was one of the most magical evenings of my life.. got pretty high with a friend. The best part is there was a break in the show and we went outside to smoke some more. All the Huun Huur Tu members came outside in their traditional clothes to smoke a cigarette, a bottle of heineken in the other hand. Made me love them even more.
I watched these guys to learn how to do it - 1 year + on my journey, self taught and i believe I'm well off with throat singing ❤😊 such a awesome and random talent to have ! Great for the lungs too
Brandon is the last guy I expected when I searched for throat singing but honestly.. I should've seen it coming 😆
Also, Kargyra really clears your throat and warms it up. Usually after doing it for half an hour intensly, I found out that my normal singing voice is much more consistent, with more color and easier to do vocal acrobatics.
As a Turk i am pretty impressed Brandon :))) you are the goat :D
I learned how to do this from beatboxing tutorials that used this technique years ago. It's so cool.
I got something similar during college, but I also learnt the overtone with the throat stinging. Was pretty fun figuring out the two could be combined.
Huh. Your simple tip to sing while making motorcycle noises had me getting chest resonance in like two seconds. Neat, thanks for showing us the knack!
Oh damn. I've been trying to learn throat singing and this made it click for me. I am baffled :D
Wow! Great, succinct, yet fully informative, and fun video. You are very humble even when you can obvioisly do it very well. Thanks, I’ll try to impress (or scare) my friends and family with this.
I just heard that you knew Huun Huur Tu, and shared the Berkerly concert, instant subscribed.
I discovered Mongolian Throat Singing through The Hu, since then I've got nuts about it. Cool to see you can do it !!! A surprise and not at the same time 😂
throat singing is so destressing also, I think the vibrations just unlock and sooth the mind.
I stumbled on this technique when I first started seriously doing vocals for my band. It hasn't properly made in onto any of our recordings yet, but I use it a lot live. It's such a cool sound, especially through a big PA and with a few layers of delay and reverb is can sound immense.
I also have a couple of Dune-themed songs so having the opportunity to throat sing the phrase 'Muad'dib' is a pretty cool experience.
When we are learning music, people push us to study just things about our instrument, to see the world without the perspective of other instruments or musicians... In the deep of my bones I hate study just my instrument, there's no fun in live in a world with a lot of great instruments and look just for one.
You need to have a focus of course, choose a main instrument it's really good. But that never mean you want to narrow yourself, read and have fun with the others, like a videogame, become great in one and use the others to appreciate the process of learning.
I really admire you Mr Acker... Aways showing curiosity and genuine interest for other instruments, respecting the differences of all of them.
Thank you for Everyone for reading this, sorry for the Misspellings 😅, I'm still learning english 🇧🇷
I was doing this as a kid before i heard about Mongolian/tibetan throat singers, The Hu really educated a lot of people.
I love Huun Huur Tu, saw them live in Berlin in a church. Spectacular sound. Another well known throat singer is Batzorig Vaanchig. Alex Glenfield is a western expert on different styles of overtone/throat singing. He has a youtube channel where you can also find an indepth tutorial. His famous "Seven Styles of Overtone Singing" video was my first contact with this kind of music.
I can now do this. I am so happy. I accidentally started hitting this spot when doing random vocalizations in the early morning when my voice is deeper. I did not realize this is what I've been hearing in that amazing scene in Dune. Thank you so very very much. Good thing I live alone because I will be otherwise intolerable in the next few days experimenting.
I also became obsessed with throat singing in college but my roommate and neighbors very much did not, so my obsession was brought to an early end.
I was kinda able to do it then and every now and then I will try it and sometimes I can control the overtones a bit, but not all the time and not particularly well.
Hon-Huur -Tu are Magnificent i heard them once on KEXP and feel in love with their expressions,...i've heard Mongolian throat singing before ,..but this was special...!!!
this is the last thing I expected from you by far!!
I'm so happy that you plugged Hunn-Huur-Tu! They are so AWESOME! And that specific performance that you showed is one of my favorites on YT!
As a person who also randomly became obsessed with throat singing in college I am excited that Hans Zimmer brought it in to the textures of Dune's Soundtrack. There is actually a really great short documentary here on TH-cam where he talks about the music and highlights the amazingly talented people he worked with.

As a Singer,I can't THANK you enough SENSEI.
This ia THE ultimate improvement for a BASS voice like me.
✊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇧🇷🏴🖤
I went to high school with Brandon! We were in choir together with Mr. Mielke! I was great friends with his younger brother Ross, we graduated in the same class. Super talented family, his twin brother Brian is also an incredibly talented artist as well. I had no idea you got famous bro! Congrats and wishing you well! 🎉
That's so cool! I can tell who this is from your username though
I've learned to do this by listening to the Hu and Ummet Ozcan. I still do this everyday and enjoy it as I do find it fun. I only wish I had more people to do this with and perhaps someday sing in a unison with a group.
This is my favorite guitar technique.
A phantastic channel ! 👏👏👏👏
Wow Brandon, I think our musical taste is almost an exact overlap.
Dropping all this Baroque stuff, lute music, but then... throat singing. Looooove throat singing. I also can do the Kargyraa. I kind of think about it almost like the motorbike sound but where you try to do it where it's barely catching.
The first time I was exposed to throat singing was at a Bela Fleck and the Flecktones concert. Ondar Kongar-ol was a guest performer, and he made some of the most incredible sounds I've ever heard.
I just got a sore throat from trying this lol. Great video, hopefully some day I'll come closer to sounding like you
Definitely find some more tutorials then! If it hurts you're actually hurting your voice and are possibly learning bad or harmful technique
I just completely caught myself off guard because before he showed how to do it he was giving examples of what it sounded like and I thought, “hmm, I wonder if I could make that noise,” and then jumpscared myself by doing it first try.
nice!😊 I taught myself to throat sing many years ago and still do it often ❤️
Huun Huur tu is so good! Their one song "Aa-Shu Dekei-oo" was literally stuck in my head for an entire day. Dare y'all to listen to it a couple times through without it getting it stuck in your head.
It reminds me of multiphonics on wind instruments. My favorite style of Tuvan throat-singing is Sygyt, though it's all really amazing.
History and MUSIC best of both worlds.
Perfect explanation, thank You.
HUN HUUR TU! Saw them live twice. been praticing ever since! I love that nobody's an expert except the mongolians and tuvans. LOL Sygyt is so hard, years of practice and still not there but not giving up!
I’m so happy anytime anyone mentions huun huur tu
Ive been practicing how to throat sing for 14 years now, learned by watching huun huur tu, i was inspired by my friend who showed me a hr long documentary about paul pena wrote the song big jet airliners. Blind soulful musician who learned to throat by radio. Huun huur tu tours in the states, sort of Honor tradition when they met him after his passing.
This is so cool, thanks for explaining!
Hah I had the same experience, seeing Huun Huur Tu about 30 years ago and trying to figure out how to do it, only I went more the hoomei way. Time to catch up on the karygyraa! I've been experimenting with it a bit over the last few years, but your video is another nice encouragement, thank you!
I can say that what Brandon said about his friends in college its true, i also one day while i was bored i started doing this sustained growling trying to make different notes and its amazing. I feel like a warrior and sometimes i do it to self motivate myself. Note that i am no expert either
after 5 minutes, im already throat singing. this is awesome! it hurts after a while though, gotta give those vocals a break.
Man i love your channel
First time I heard throat singing was on a Jeff Lorber album called West Side Stories and the song is called Tuva. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
