POLYPHONIC OVERTONE SINGING - by Anna-Maria Hefele 

💗YES!! That's what I said too!! I've been working at this in my spare time for 25y • my control is garbage • She's almost *magical* !!💗💗 I'm so impressed I'm smiling!😍🤩

it's impressive but when is that ever useful tho?

some pieces actually feature overtones! for instance, “past life melodies” makes great use of this technique and adds an interesting quality to the piece that wouldn’t otherwise be present

@@MistahFrizz Oh WOW!!! COOOOOOL!!!! Thanks!!!! xoxo

@@oowaz Art's subjective, but *objectively* I'd guess its "use" is to blur life's edges via the beautiful/evocative; maybe administer a dopamine rush to counter depressive realism/existential horror. It's also pretty fun to bust it out when stoned with your mates! xo :D XD 💗

No, it's not a talent. It's skill. You can learn it. No seriously, *you* can learn it.

Jochem Goede THANK YOU, everybody keeps talking about talent, that’s so insulting to people who had to train and work hard to achieve this skill.

Meine Namen it’s not mutually exclusive. A well-developed skill can be called a talent. Almost no one has real talent if we don’t count the things they practiced.

Jochem Goede Playing a guitar can be considered a talent depending how good you are at it. Same with her singing.

Skilled is being good, talented is being extremely good. Now, you decide.

Yeah always thought that only passerine birds could do that

Listen some mongolian singing

It’s actually very easy because the overtones are created on their own, and I figured out how to use this technique a few years ago - one can also produce overtones while using mixed voice in a higher pitch, but they are definitely more obvious when using chest voice in a lower pitch!

So technically anyone can throatsing, the ‘hardest’ thing about it is, figuring out how to do it, but it’s probably easier for those that know how to growl / scream, because the other type of subharmonics uses a similar technique, the one where one uses a super low pitch, and I can go from A0 to A5 in chest voice on a good day, using both subharmonics and belting techniques which are opposites, and in head voice I can go from C6 to C8, and the overtones are not produced in the same way that head voice notes are produced, they aren’t produced by the actual vocal cords, but probably by the air, when one has that specific position / placement and the tension, so the fundamental must be a bit tense, so to speak, and the overtones will come naturally, so ppl with low and deep voices can also do it because one doesn’t necessarily need to have a higher and lighter voice to throatsing!

Diana Ankudinova sent me here.

Ditto.

This is the first time I've ever heard the word overtone.

I know i was blown away by it. I'm familiar with the technique but she's amazing at it.

Listen to Avi Kaplan then

@@Iloveavitodeath I subscribed to her channel and have been listening to her

This was wonderful thank you!

Wow! You sound amazing and totally not someone I would hate with every cell in my body.

​@@cackslopper5321???

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you :)

It’s through manipulation of the resonance space through changing lip and tongue position.

!!!!!!

It's used in throat singing a lot. The overtone technique in Tuvan i think is called sygyt.

The method has been investigated by ENT doctors looking down the throats of Mongolian throat singers. The whistling sound is made by using the false vocal cords.

And how does she get the insanely high pitched whistle sound??

She is the instrument

I think there's a synth playing as well for reference... maybe its not idk but if it's not I'd be mind blown

i doubt dimension is the word you are looking for here

When you hear that expression that someone's from another dimension it just means they're doing something that seems unreal. How have you never heard of that? Are you from another dimension or something? :)

Eric Cantu I was thinking the same thing. This moving picture image has somehow bent itself in through the parallel and we are looking at a black and white representation of an entity from an unknown dimension, possibly a shaman.

Buster Brown I agree, people, try mimicking her blinking and you'll see how abnormal her blinking is.

[Eric Cantu] She is most likely from Neu-Schwabenland

You havent seen stan lees super human show then

In Tibet and other parts of Asia this is traditional.

dumbidols I’ve never seen her before now, and do hope to find out more. But if I had to guess, I’d say that she is deliberately mimicking the hand gestures of a theremin player (perhaps she’s one herself) in order to help illustrate the tones as she sings them. That, and it looks cool to see a beautiful woman make graceful hand gestures. Edit: her proprioceptive neurons and her motor neurons (peripheral NS) would appear to be linked to her auditory processing center (central NS). I’m guessing she’s a synesthete and an Aspergian. And a beautiful, talented woman, but that’s no guess.

She probably was a theramin in a past life.

Maybe she swallowed a theremin?

[sic] I don’t know why. Perhaps she’ll die?

@@stvbrsn I know an old lady who swallowed a theremin?? Lol, too funny!

Yeah, because that's exactly what this is lol.

As someone who can do all 3 to some extent, controlled overtone singing took like a month, using both hands on piano took like a year, and I still can barely sing and play bass unless it's just root notes :p

@@cheeki-breeki now that's an accomplishment! I'm just a bass, recorder and violin player, playing only one melody at a time.

This is purely a skill of the voice. Playing an instrument and singing is a massive skill of its own. The human brain is more impressive than ppl give credit for.

I've seen Geddy Lee, the lead singer and bass player for the Canadian rock band Rush, play his bass while singing and playing a keyboard as well all at the same time. Oh, and he also had a multitude of pedals at his feet that he uses for various sounds and as switches too.

Try playing drums and singing@@cheeki-breeki

@@danieltische1493 Ha ha true

It's actually not that hard after you figured out the trick. And it is essentially a trick. Once you know how to do it it stops being magical.

The higher pitch technically isn’t really her voice. It’s the tongue placement that creates kind of a whistle it’s more similar to actually whistling than a whistle register

@@condior_4444 Overtones are produced with careful tongue positioning, the vocal chords only act as exciters, not as the main source of the sound. The fundamental is produced with vocal chords and lays the groundwork for the overtone series which is harnessed with different tongue positions.

Throat singing and whistle voice has nothing to do with this technique. Mongolians use this same technique while throat singing, but the two aren't the same. Throat singing results in a gravelly "squeezed" sound. Whistle voice is a register that she isn't using here, she is singing in a chest/mixed voice here. The high note is produced by her tongue positioning and creates a resonant air space in her mouth which is excited by her vocal chords to produce a sound indipendent of her vocal chords.

@@94e88 Not all throat singing results in a squeezed sound, check out some sygyt singing. Sygyt and what Anna is doing here are very similar with the main difference being the throat and chest pressure of sygyt. That makes it so that the overtone coming from your nose is louder than the voice that is coming from your throat. There are some fantastic sygyt singers who sound like Anna without the normal voice.

@@liammcclish4291 sygyt refers to the tongue position not the underlying fundamental(khorekteer, the actual throat singing part of khoomei). Sygyt uses a medium pitch khorekteer that is squeezed. Anna-Maria is only doing overtones, there is no throat singing here. Go look at alex glenfields sygyt, there you'll see what a proper khoomei sounds like.

I thought the same thing. \

@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 Throat singing

Lol!!

I was more expecting her head to spin around Linda Blair Style. I agree with the other posters who said something along the lines of: "creepy-beautiful". I ask myself why something so amazing should be creepy? Is it because beauty itself is so unusual that we don't quite know what to make of it? I think so. It inspires me with sadness and hope..

@Jesu Spectre killed me 😂😂

I can't imagine how long it took to even start getting it right

I make those sounds with my ass after eating taco bell 😆😆😆

On a serious note. That is extremely difficult and I'm sure took years of training and practice. She appears to do it so effortlessly, as if anyone can do that.

Marcus Krause sounds quite beautiful, really.

It's an overtone rather than a whistle, however. Filtered to become more pronounced.

it kinda is like that. to produce an overtone you have to position your tongue a certain way. so she does the overtone stuff with her tongue while she does the foundation with her chords.

You know nothing Jack Sparrow

Yes! It's really cool and could have a lot of potential as a technique to be studied and applied to many other things! Personally I have found that while holding my lips in a whistle form though it can amplify the tone a little bit. Though I can only really get the 1st 3rd and 5th to come out when doing that. Without that I can get most of them out just im not able to amplify it well yet.

I can do that. It kind of sounds weird.

Sounds like the beginning of an anime or something

I KNOW RIGHT I CANT STOP REPLAYING THAT PART

duuude, it sounds like Zelda hahaha

Clone

I think it has something to do with the way she focuses

Its probably the vibrations. Some people while singing experience vibrations through nasal cavity and sinus which makes your eyes tingle.

Aka your nephilim child!!! Idk how you bastards are still here after the flood though... maybe you’re a water creature mixed with a “bene Elohim” watcher... aka aliens don’t exist. They are really the fallen angels mixed with either human dna or animals. Like Hercules. Half god half man. Or like Anubis:half god half dog. These things really existed. They explain away the mass mind control programming that is “aliens”. They were washed away with the flood and are in chains of darkness now. But when they return the people will all fall for the heliocentric alien evolution deception. Don’t say you weren’t told. Now you know. Aliens are total bullshit! Read genesis 6:4 and realize what’s going on people. Research “nephilim hybrids” this is a spiritual supernatural war and your all showing huge amounts of cognitive dissonance. Willful ignorance because the idea of God means you will be held accountable.
