[@ale5677]

What Lalah Hathaway is employing to produce that sound is actually a multiphony technique (biphony) - where two frequencies originate simultaneously on the vocal cords (different from overtone singing - Avi Kaplan). During the performance with Snarky Puppy she produced two simultaneous notes at different intervals; two times major second, minor third & major third in order to match the musical context. What's even more impressive is that you can hear that the notes produced by Lalah Hathaway contain almost no overtones of their own, they are almost sine waves; the intervals do not correspond to natural overtone intervals and are therefore harmoniously independent of each other - that alone tells me that she has 100% control over each note individually. That's some extraterrestrial vocal control. Not surprised though her father is legendary soul singer Donny Hathaway. Awesome video. 😊

I don't know if I agree with it as a party trick. Tibetan throat singing, has no words, and is essentially a meditation process for them. And it is for me. Tuvan, khoomei, Mongolian throat singing has words, and they write songs for it. It is actually a style of singing. I find the same problem with finger tapping guitar style. Peple still think it is a trick to spice up your solos, like van halen, but it is a style of playing that goes back to flamenco, and now people like Michael hedges made it into a style of writing songs, and math rock groups have continued and evolved it.

• Now, when you quickly discuss overtones, we must add a lot to that. • Every _(integer) multiple of 2_ times the fundamental frequency will take us to an octave _above_ the fundamental. • Every _division_ of the fundamental frequency by a(n integer) multiple of 2 will take us to a lower octave. • This is a psychoacoustic phenomenon pertaining to the _homo sapiens_ species as far as we know, let us call it _auditory spacing._ • So our auditory spacing is organized under a base of 2. We can mathematise that as saying it is organized under _logarithm base 2_ aka _log2(x)_ (read as: logarithm of number x on base 2). Check out logarithms on-line, it's basic mathematics, I won't explain here. • What does it matter, though? • Well, if you know your mathematics, you will notice that _only odd numbers give us new harmonic resources._ • What does it matter? (you ask yourself again) • The _natural harmonics_ (aka overtones) of a given fundamental frequency are a (theoretically) infinite series of natural numbers (viz., positive integers) multiplying the fundamental frequency. So, e.g.: *1f* = fundamental *2f* = first octave above it *3f* = new note _a_ = _just fifth_ above first octave (aka a just twelfth) *4f* = two octaves above the fundamental *5f* = new note _b_ = _just third_ above the second octave *6f* = 2 * 3f = first octave _of_ new note _a_ *7f* = new note _c_ = _harmonic seventh_ above the second octave over fundamental *8f* = third octave of fundamental and so on… • Now what does it matter? (you ask yourself once more) • Well, if you've noticed upon reading, the _really_ new notes (the odd multipliers) are NOT the notes we often call by the names of "perfect fifth" or "major third" or "major seventh" - this is due to western (harmonic and melodic) instruments' *tuning / temperament.* Our system of _dividing an octave in 12 equally (aurally) spaced intervals_ is a _flattening,_ more appropriately a *reduction of dimensionality,* of a _2-axes system:_ famously known as _pythagorean tuning,_ or more appropriately a _rank-2 tuning / temperament._ Rank just means how many coordinates, how many inputs, one must provide before reaching any destination - think of a cartesian plane. Now, our western 12-tone system - we could call it _12 equally spaced intervals of the second harmonic (or first octave)_ - renders fairly well the 3rd harmonic (think of full HD, 4k, 1080p, whatever), we have a very decent _perfect fifth_ interval in our music, but everything beyond that is hugely fake (historical music, like baroque or classical or early romantic had better rendering of other odd harmonics than we ever do, in others words: if Beethoven heard our pianos today, he would call us mad and spit on our faces). That is why imitating arabic, persian, turkish, indian, etc., music sounds terrible in our instruments (the indian case actually affords a complicated discussion, but let us leave it at that). Persian medieval music, for example, uses the 7th, 11th and even 13th harmonics, so not a single "arabic scale" can actually sound [sic] arabic (correctly: persian) in our guitars, no matter how hard we try (bending strings can approximate those sounds, but is fairly unaffordable as a practice). So when Lalah Hathaway reinforces those higher harmonics, it sounds fairly "alien" because they actually are alien to all our instrumentation for (at least) the past two whole centuries now! *P.S.:* that is also why the notation on Avi Kaplan's overtones is extremely inaccurate (because the way we interpret the notation is inaccurate in regards to the harmonic/natural series). *P.P.S.:* Avi Kaplan's overtones are clearer too because his fundamental is really low, so the higher pitches stay within a comfortable listenable range.

She has used these techniques in many performances but perhaps the most stunning is "Rechenka(River)" a Russian folk music wedding song (to scare away evil spirits).
