FAZED Videos - Tuva Singing

Tuva Singing

I'm not sure if they're using overtones or what, but at least one of these guys has a great future in death metal when he's tired of ice skating. If you can't get enough, here is another example, performed live.

Overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, harmonic singing, is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the harmonic resonances (or formants) created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out the lips. -Wikipedia

Yeah, it is overtones.
I like how the combination of two voices on different notes can emphasize different, specific overtones, to make that whistling sound...
Never heard that before, even in this style of singing.

There was a movie about a blind blues singer who could do this and he went to Tuva to perform in a singing comp. The movie makes out that almost everyone down there can do it, but I got no idea how

That was really interesting, I'd wondered about singing I'd heard that sounded similar.

The alternate link (the one to the live performance) is ethereal, incredible stuff. At 2:06 though I thought they were going to start singing Moon River or something.

I saw a Tuvan group perform in the Lowell Folk Festival a couple of years ago. They were called Hu'un Hu'ur Tu and the blew the crowd away. I bought a cd of theirs and I love playing it really loud in my car. Freaks people out at stop lights.

Yup, it's throat singing. Also practiced by the Inuit in Canada. Here's another example, with accordian goodness!

I don't think that's quite traditional "throat singing" as Inuit use.
The Inuit style is more focused on breathing patterns than pronunciation like these guys.

It's pretty cool seeing/hearing this live. If you can get over the "wtf" attitude and get into the sounds, it's really quite consuming.

they're freaking robots, and they are almost certainly coming to kill most of us and enslave the rest.

on a side note, get enough drinks into sorority girls and play some song they think they know and they'll end up sounding like this every time.
