If you listen carefully, you can hear the tubes resonating when she hits the notes. Imagine how it must feel to stand in this dome and have it sing back to you!

[@bukdays]

That's basically physical autotune

[@The_Brew_Dog]

I used to make weird noises like this in class and around the house as a kid. Who knew it could be turned into something so pleasant.

[@duck114]

Most of the poliphonic singers start like this, scaring parents with this voice lol (at least from what I observed)

[@bewoproductions9097]

Any sound can be turned into music if you can just organize it over a meter with a beginning and an end, with a goal of creating human response.

[@d.d.8745]

I hope you've started again! You could prolly start a cult with it lol

[@Iumine]

@@bewoproductions9097 a goal of creating human response?

[@theresebrandser]

I used to do that as a kid too! I remember hearing the tone and then feeling AND hearing the overtone. :)

[@Griffopotomus]

Purest tones I’ve ever heard from a human voice.

[@digipixle6343]

⁠@@heraclesst.2269by definition, a sine wave cannot have overtones…but making things up for fun is cool too.

[@XariksBeatbox]

@@heraclesst.2269overtones are not sine waves. All particles of the wave don’t have same amplitude and moreover they have zero phase difference, hence we can’t represent overtones using sine function..

[@sworddall989]

It's like listening to the sand flowing in the wind in the middle of the desert.

[@BigParadox]

Just to be sure that nobody misunderstands this. You would hear all these overtones even if there were no metal pipes hanging there.

[@calebrichardkent]

This is the only thing that calms down my cat when she gets angry

[@nailju28]

Omg, it's like a flute would be doing another melody, yet it's just one singer. It's mesmerizing

[@roxasrider509]

I would buy an album of this. This is beautiful. I’m crying right now.

[@1lovesoni]

She's brought me to tears before as well. There's something otherworldly about her style.

[@katherinepettus5132]

I just nearly cried when I told my son this sound was a woman was singing. We were both nearly crying. Its really something.

[@Julione7]

I can't believe what I just heard and saw. It's a cosmic voyage. It's a inner voyage. It's unbeliavable. Thank you!

[@davidking8128]

I mourn and grieve for humanity when I'm graced to witness people like you Anna. You who stretch and stress the boundaries of human potential. I weep twice, to bear witness to those meeting and stretching the potential and simultaneously so angry at how we have wielded our wit and expansiveness against others and against the planet. Thank you for expanding for beauty, for art, for love, and thank you for sharing it with us. I was so giddy when you replied to my comment years ago teaching us how to make nettle tea. I often share you and hope you are being met with the same energy you express. 👺⚡🙌🍦🎼

I have no words to express my feelings that is moved so much. Around 10 years ago, I found and listened to your early video and was interested so much. Now, fundamental tones you use has been increasing more than before. Amazing!

[@HQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQ]

With those acoustics and good microphones... It's amazing, so clear!

[@lkazlkaz9509]

Pleased a lot to hear and see you again, Anna-Maria! Thank you for such a joy you bring!

[@purdysanchez]

Thank you for bringing something beautiful into the world.

[@yajnavalkiagargi8100]

This is absolutely amazing. I never thought i could even do it. After thirty minutes of severe practice i finally started to catch on and have been practicing for months and months and months. Dont be afraid to sit on your porch and make noises lol

[@greyAMK]

Same!! I've been learning overtone singing for almost a year and a half, and sometimes I'd just practice while walking outside or waiting inside a empty part of a building! It's absolutely rewarding and I practice at least 30 minutes each by singing to myself or with my twin with a mix of polyphonic singing and single-tone singing! I find so much joy in it that it doesn't feel like a strict practice schedule, but rather just having a lot of fun and continuing to learn!

[@bsnufkin929]

Is there a vibrato to the overtone, or am I imagining it? What a talent!!!

[@brunoblivious]

Your singing never fails to amaze me. I've been trying to produce just one overtone note off and on for years after watching your tutorial video and I finally succeeded in producing a note a 5th above the one I was singing. I got so excited, I started jumping up and down. But I've had no luck producing anything other than that 5th. I can hear the other notes very faintly as I shift the position of my tongue, but they're not remotely loud enough to be called singing. I have absolutely no idea how you do what you do. I get how it's supposed to work and the physical processes behind it, but I have no idea how you do it.

[@thevoiceharmonic]

I have been teaching the techniques for 30 years. There are mouth, throat, mouth and throat, techniques. The mouth has 3 distinct techniques. Please watch some of my KZbin beginning with this introduction to all of the vocal sounds possible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r562ZYmdoNqtqLM

[@iolairmuinnmalachybromham3103]

I am in the early stages of learning this, and I’d say the breakthrough for me was in placement. If you’re already a singer of sorts, this is much easier to work with, but basically you have to concentrate the vibration of your voice in your mouth. There’s a tutorial on KZbin on overtone singing (Western style, like this, rather than the slightly different Mongolian) which guides you through this by getting you to go from a closed “ng” sound to a piercing sort of “eeee” sound and back. This gives you the feel for it, then once you start working with mouth shape/tongue position you sort of adapt as you go. I started with the vibration feeling at the very back of the roof of my mouth, but now try to shift it around depending on the overtone. Just to reiterate, I’m very new to this and by no means an expert, but that’s how it’s worked for me. I hope this helps, and if not I think Anna-Maria has an online course on it. Edit : Looking at back at this comment 8 months on, it's funny to see what I didn't yet understand about voice at the time. No doubt I will learn much more in time. I would now disagree with what I was saying about "placement", especially about concentrating a vibration in your mouth. Overtone singing actually requires more of the sound and airflow to be going through my nose than "regular" singing does, which I assume is because lowering the soft palette probably allows me to create a more separated, smaller space in my mouth for the overtones to resonate in. A lot of what makes overtone singing in any style is twang, as Koko Vocals says below - by which I'm referring specifically to aryepiglottic constriction. This puts more of the sound energy in the upper part of the spectrum, so the overtones already become louder relative to the fundamental frequency. However, when I was learning to sing like this I didn't really understand twang, and never consciously tried to engage it for overtone singing. I just did it as part of the whole movement of trying to make the overtones louder. What I described before the edit reflects how I experienced learning to sing like this, even if it wasn't physiologically accurate, so maybe it will work for other people, too. Humans are good at imitating stuff even if we don't quite understand it, it just takes time

[@kokovocals]

Try singing through your nose on a mid-high note (for your range) and add twang (think Bulgarian singing) to boost the high harmonics. Hope this helps!

[@nashambenyisrael7689]

@@kokovocals How the heck do you sing through your nose ? 🤨

[@kokovocals]

@@nashambenyisrael7689 It takes practice, but you have to open the nasal port or drop your soft palate. Are you a singer?

Truly amazing. My large frame drum is resonating in sympathy, along with my whole body. I’ll bet that entities at the farthest reaches of the universe are asking their friends “ are you feeling that?”. Are you causing the slight motion of the metal tubes ? It must feel wonderful in that space. Thanks so much for sharing. 🕊🌹🕊

Diese Frau ist ein Phänomen. Neben der absolut einzigartig stark ausgeprägten Kontrolle über die Obertöne und der enormen Koordination, die es braucht, um "Bassline" und Melodie Linie parallel zu singen und unabhängig voneinander zu bewegen, hat sie auch eine beachtliche musiktheoretische Expertise. Ich bin jedes Mal absout demütig und beeindruckt, wenn ich mir Aufnahmen von ihr ansehe.
