Polyphonic singing is part of several traditions. The one most people think of first is Tuvan (Mongolian). Georgian folk singing also employs polyphonics as do the Xhosa people of southern Africa and the Inuit.
It would be interesting to know, if this is actually a really old human Tradition, which only was kept in specific regions, which were fairly seperated.
Learning to polyphonic sing, has helped me discover more about myself in the last two years, than I ever have in my entire life. You use your chest to make the fundamental, and the mouth I find is very rounded, almost like you are whistling. I'm not even slightly close to this level though, her control and volume is world class.
You could see it in spectrogram that she’s moving between her overtones. What I mean is she’s switching which overtone to highlight, such as 3rd order overtone, 4th, 5th, etc.Amazing control.
There is a live show from anna maria hefele overtone singing with Lambdoma. Excellent audio quality here on TH-cam and it completely blew me away. I dont know what it is, but Overtones have kind of an archaic character to them.
There is a video of her doing this in an mri scanner, so you can see what the tongue and mouth is doing. It's super interesting. It's quite easy to learn how to get an overtone going with a bit of practice. But she is out of this world skilled at it. I can pretty much make it work usually, but can't change it around like she does, and she does it so effortlessly. There's no risk involved at all, your vocal folds are just making the "undertone" and the overtone depends on tongue and mouth shape.
This is one of the most amazing musical accomplishments I have ever seen!!! I heard Lalah Hathaway do a vocal chord (no pun intended) on a joint that she did with Snarky Puppy, but this is on another level. OMG
I find this easier to do than what Lalah Hathaway does, which I haven't yet managed to do. This, is doable, it probably takes decades getting it to AM Hefele's level, but it's at least easily practicable. What Hathaway does is, at least from my experience, insanely difficult to achieve.
There is a singer who can not only polyphonic sing normally - but is also a dramatic contralto - Diana Ankudinova. Start with "Cant Help Falling in Love" and let the vocal 8th wonder of the world take over every part of your body!
There's a video of this particular woman where they put her in an mri scanner, so you literally see what the tongue and mouth is doing to make this work. It's pretty cool.
This is what I thought of right away as well. The artist is Bukhu Ganburged and he was on the 2020 season of the voice. He employed overtone singing in his blind audition song titled "Mother and Father." He is just amazing. The technique blew the judges away as well as those of us watching. th-cam.com/video/7iKV-54DL7w/w-d-xo.html
Bonjour et oui vous n'êtes pas au bout de vos surprises cette technique de chant est très ancienne mais malheureusement tout le monde va dans le mauvais sens et décadence. Ce chant fait résonner notre corps et le guéri. Avec de la méditation profonde Vous ouvrez tout vos sens les plus profonds. Je suis Anna Maria et bien d'autres comme DAVID HYKES l'un des plus connu dans cet art.🙏🙏🙏
if you want to hear this in use for real go to listen to Diana Ankudinova the song Cant Help Falling In love she has the ability to do this in real singing or her song Rechenka either or if you listen you can hear it in use as far as I know she is the only person that can use it in actual singing of songs I promise you wont be dissapointed
you're wondering to much "what she's doing"... She gives overtone singing lessons on youtube. The first steps are so easy and intuiitives. How comes an "opera singer" doesn't know? If you choose a note in your mid range and sing an OH and then you slowly change the position of your tongue to get an OO you'll catch the first armonic, then, if you pass to the EE articulation it will change pitch.
that's one technique to produce 2 tones at the same time, you can try it for yourself if you know how to whistle, just try producing a vowel sound and whistling simultaneously, if it's hard, try another vowel, you'll hit one you can do at the same time as whistling pretty fast
Nope, she's tuning the resonance cavity that is her mouth to a fraction of the fundamental wave. This increases the overtone's strength residing on that particular fraction to audible levels.
Varying acustic frame in mouth causes a tone filter. Try same note with diffrernt vocals like aeui to filter fundamental tone. Here, note that fundamental is not a pure frequency, but a kind of noise. Tuvan singers use more distorted fundamental noice.

I've followed Anna Maria for many years. You should check out "throat singing" or "Tuvan" singing. You can form words while singing polyphonicly.
There's some youtube-vids of somebody singing inside an MRI. This will give good idea what's happening inside her mouth

I honestly had the same reaction when I watched that video! I was shocked and my mouth was agape.

it is not whistling, it's similar to tuvan singing. tones from the throat and nasal cavity.

You can sing words with this opening your mouth wide. It just requires a different technique. It's great for adding an extra accent on pitches.

Lalah Hathaway's performance with Snarky Puppy is *epic*.

@@lonewaer I'm not sure I understand the difference. Do you have any insight on how what Lalah is doing that is different?
I have seen someone doing this live, with a band, and they WERE singing words.

Look please at "Altai Kai" ensemble, they use throat singing in various manner - Kargyraa, Sygyt, etc.
Trombonist do this. Blow one note while humming another.
This reminds me of the guy on the Voice that did the throat singing. I also wonder what is going on inside!?!

My uncle is from Sweden and sings Polyphonic. It's not impossible, but it takes time to develop the skill.
As far as I understand DIANA ANKUDINOVA can sing songs using this techniques. Her version of Can't help falling in love is incredible.
I taught myself how to do this by accident. Lol.
I can do it for moments ..but like literally moments lol never on demand.

I also loved the video you watched. She has one where she sings Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Recommended for a whaaaaat? experience.
if you want to hear this in use for real go to listen to Diana Ankudinova the song Cant Help Falling In love she has the ability to do this in real singing or her song Rechenka either or if you listen you can hear it in use as far as I know she is the only person that can use it in actual singing of songs I promise you wont be dissapointed
Used it in miserere mei to get the C3 (I'm a bass).

If you like polyphonics you should react to Stitch - Feels Like Nothing
Thank you so much.. i definitely will. I hope you subscribe and hit the bell so you know when we upload it.
does it all sound like a human Hurdy Gurdy? Can you blow these poly tones into a didgeridoo and make a one-man, Blue Man Group?
I think the second tone is like an ‘s’ whistle sound through her teeth.

Look up throat singing start with The HU. Then delve deeper
ALL polys are special. Think about people that speak 50 different languages poly means many
this is just weird
Wow!!!
This is nuts!! You would have to be born with an extra fold or sac or flap or something!! This doesn't make any kind of sense!! 🤔
