@karlarsch56b if i think about it: for me its actually harder to make a good and clean octave sound than the decimes. but the audience doesn't even realize what is happening at first :D its just the sensational moment of hearing an accord beeing sung! the same tones they don't notice...
@karlarsch56b he uses octaves (voice up/buzz down) the first two times and then decimes the third time. have fun - its worth trying, espacially if you play a brass instrument, though you can use it through your instrument then -> multiphonics -> cool :)
i believe I read a commenter on this video years ago say he's humming to make one pitch and buzzing his lips to make the second. Not 100% that's accurate, but guessing from his oral posture as he's doing it, that's my best guess as well.
@xguitaristx278 @tiMeTNK seems to me he's using his lips. He produces a low tone by making his lips vibrate (like didgeridoo and tuba players) and sings the upper tone by making his vocal chords vibrate. Try it, it works, but it's effing hard to turn it into a melody!
@xguitaristx278 indeed. I am able to produce two sounds simultaneously with my own vocal chords as well, but its hard and it's not you can just sing a melody like that. low strength and speed of the airflow exiting (or entering) the lungs is crucial for me to get it to work. Being hard enough to control one tone at a time, try making them a harmonic at the same time too... damn he's good.
Everybody notices this because of how obvious it is in the song. He's buzzing one note with his lips and singing the other. The one that nobody notices that baffles me is at 2:56-2:59 I think he is actually singing two notes there.
@IGotDoubleBs Nice attempt at explaining that, but hes using multiphonics. He is somehow manipulating hit vocal chords to allow himself to play two simultaneous notes and harmonize with himself. As to how he manipulates them, i do not know
