a short history overview about overtone- and throat singing with Anna-Maria Hefele

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

Concerning how we hear, I’m a musician (with uTube channel) who sees a color-shape for each note. It is spectral. C is red. C# is red-orange. D is orange. Etc. It is generally understood that D major is also an intrinsically happy key, as in Hayden’s “Sunrise Symphony.” D can bring happiness. Sound can do that. But sound can also heal physically. Medics apparently use the 11th harmonic (the 11th overtone) to pair with the root note, and this sound can be used to shatter kidney stones, or even cure a disease, say, a disease in the blood in alternative medicine, etc, etc. Anyway, towards the end of my father’s life, he would cry out in his sleep. One night he cried out in a dream. I stood up, from my piano, startled. I thought to play his cry on the piano. It was a D note. Through the dark hall, I ran to his room, hoping to ask him about his dream. What was the secret to D? What was the secret to happiness? Brimming with excitement, I stirred him a bit and asked “Dad, dad, what were you dreaming?” He looked up at me, groggily, and said “eleven.” Then he turned around and went back to sleep. The eleventh harmonic had spoken.

that was really cool, i'm glad you shared that. coincidently, i am the 11th person to like your comment

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

lucky 11! THANKS! You made my day. Since i posted this I’ve made some very poignant videos on this subject. Do take a peek! // _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_@@cheezyridr

[@grippen3273]

I could spend the rest of my life just listening to her speak.

[@psychobilly42069]

Go watch some bjork interviews lol

[@cheezyridr]

i love the mongolian music, it's what lead me to your videos. i have passed your videos to dozens of people, and they are always amazed

[@ОльгаГордиенко-т9и]

The way you explain... I wish all teachers are like you... thanks a lot for the video

[@YouchGaming]

I really fell in love 😍 with the way you talk , your smile 😃😊 and even your voice for sure . Wish you all the best anna Maria ❤💙

[@milododds1]

You're opening so many doors, I'm going to listen to this video many times over so I can absorb all of this great knowledge, explore the links and experience all of these various styles of overtone singing. I love sounds and soundscapes, the more unusual the happier I get. I try to incorporate whistles, clicks, snaps, and polyphonic electronic synthesizers into my music. I back midi and sound based projects to help bring new innovations to our world. I believe the path to world peace is through art and music. How can you want to kill another human being when you've discovered what an amazing artist and musician they are?

[@literatious308]

Polyphonic overtones crosses many cultures. Thanks for this brief explained that is accessible to all.

[@endlesslovingmovement]

You have a very lovely way of speaking! I feel that you have done a lot of inner work.

[@justrandomthings112]

Wow Anna-Maria Hefele, this video is very interesting and informational as well. Thank you for sharing this topic with us.

[@pacheco2506]

Dear Anna, both you and your amazing work as well as teachings are a human universal level treasure! Infinite thanks to you!

It's a big pleasure to hear all these things you share with. Not only because of a lot of interesting informations, but just a hearing your gentle voice - that's a big pleasure. Thank you!

[@voidvisuals]

Thanks so much for this overview about the history of overtone singing. It remains such a fascinating topic. And also thank you for mentioning and sharing the documentary! 🙏

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

Any time :-) :-)

[@cygnus_zealandia]

What a wonderful exposition of the history of the two strands of this musical technique, Maria. This is all very interesting. Thank you.

[@littleislandnbird]

Thank you for the video, Anna-Maria! Danke

[@thepurpletrace]

I came here due to switch-researching between Eastern and Western styles. Thank you for this great overview

[@mrh4742]

Loved it!!!!!!! You deserve much more attention.

[@antjevanbergen]

Hallo Anna-Maria, danke für diese sehr interessante Übersicht! Beste Grüße und eine schöne Vorweihnachtszeit!

[@weddiedon]

Thankyou very much! trumpets are very full of overtones which give them their distictive sound, I figure if it is possible with the voice then why not with the trumpet! with some success so far

[@paolobiason6698]

Anna Maria, thank you for this video, you are so agreable and sweet.......your voice amaze me (us) ciao by the way: demetrio stratos was an italian singer of this politically oriented group named area. he tragicly died in 1979.

[@kieronconcannon]

Thank you Anna

[@cinemasailor]

Great presentation! I was glad to hear you mention David Hykes’ “Hearing Solar Winds” and Toby Twining’s “Chrysalid Requiem” in your discussion; both of those albums are extraordinary, and have long been close to my heart.

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

yes, I love them too...

[@razmikyekiazarian8454]

Thank You for the information... Anna Maria, You have a very Pleasant Voice... It would be Unique, Epic and very Interesting to Hear You Overtone Talking as well... Has anyone done it ? Wish You all the Best...

[@papamaci1967]

[@marceloleal1957]

You're amazing

[@craigkeller]

Thank you for teaching us. I’m practicing!

[@herprojeto]

I am scared how interested i got into it!

[@cosmicrider5898]

This is awesome! I can only do it when I'm toasty.. Maybe if I practice more I can do it while sober. I start with a whistle and transition into western overtone

[@1953streeky]

Creativity! 😍

[@Surya-dv6if]

This is great info, thank you for sharing! 🙏

[@ChristopherOrth]

This was fabulous! So much great info. Thanks, and well done!

[@jacobpaint]

Thanks for all the links in video info, that would have been a nightmare to try and search for everything.

[@Bigandrewm]

Toby Twining's Chrysalid Requiem is insane. But then, Toby studied with Ben Johnston who wrote insane microtonal string quartets. Awesome, mind-bending music.

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

I didnt know that! Have to check out that string quartets :-)

[@Bigandrewm]

@@AnnaMariaHefele They're available on KZbin, as recorded by the Kepler Quartet, and a few of them have recorded performances by a couple of other quartets, too. Ben Johnston's notation system is something of an important part of microtonal notation history, a kind of precursor to Helmholtz-Ellis notation, Sagittal notation, and others. Potentially very useful for notating overtone singing that involves "higher" harmonic relationships.

[@Bigandrewm]

Checking out that recording from Arthur Miles - that's neat! It fits that "classic" country style really well.

[@SOPRATENOR]

Passionnant, merci!

[@justaperson1812]

this is an absolutely invaluable video, thank you.

[@watchertvc15]

Dear Anna, I love your videos and especially this historical account which is much needed and appreciated. But I'm puzzled why you didn't mention the Tibetan Buddhist overtone chanting tradition such as the Gyuto Tantric Choir which is how I first discovered this type of singing . Maybe one day you'll do another video on the rich Tibetan tradition of Sacred Chant......Namasate

[@TajMikel]

Thank you for this video! :)

[@EK-tf2eo]

Very interesting and well presented. There could also be subtitles.

[@m-bronte]

I wonder if everyone is capable of doing this? I love to sing and have tried to do overtone singing but sadly I don't have the technique.

[@EricB256]

Thank you so much for this video. What an effort! It's like an academic work with the passionate practicioner's fascination with the subject shining through as a cherry on top. I first noticed the sounds of overtone singing on a movie soundtrack (Geronimo) on which Huun-Huur-Tu appear. Decades later, I accidentally ran into your channel. Might kargyraa be somewhat related in how the sounds are created to the growl vocals of metal music, or are these two entirely different? I'm curious. Thanks again.

[@iolairmuinnmalachybromham3103]

Kargyraa uses ventricular fold/false cord phonation, which is also used for some kinds of metal extreme vocals, though I think in a different way. The best info I’ve found on metal vocal distortion has come from Aliki Katriou.

[@EricB256]

@@iolairmuinnmalachybromham3103 Thanks for the interesting reply.

haha...im a man that has i have a terrible deep voice but i luv lyrics and singing, and i could do it. thx for your content

sorry, meant i didnt know what i was doing n hearig . TY

Amazing presentation, unbelievably informative! Thank you! I really enjoyed this!! 😊

[@ingridelknermusic]

Where does Inuit and native American throat singing come in? I don't know that I've heard polyphonics in their styles, but it could exist.

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

it definitely exists! But if I would talk about everything, it would be very very long in the end... :-) so this is just a scratching on the surface of the topic.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Really interesting

Vielen herzlichen für dieses Video!

[@eaglelight108]

Do you have to have a good singing voice to do overtone singing well?

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

well, it doesn't hurt... overtone singing works well if the voice is strong in sound. It won't work so good with breathy voices. But you do not need to have an educated classical singing voice to do overtone singing :-)

[@realcygnus]

Nice

[@Dbsabzbzb]

I discovered I can whistle and hum, more of a droning moan, at the same time which produces similar harmonics, does anybody else do this?

[@ingridelknermusic]

I think a lot of people can do it.

[@jorgemoramuoz8067]

That’s a good exercise, now try it with bowels ❤

[@thomasklugh4345]

I can't find the book anywhere. Can you help, please?

Inuit throat singing is an example of a tradition of women throat singing

[@Toshio_77]

Why can't I save this video in my watch later playlist?

[@escutus]

It is weird that I can recognize the 3 near the beginning without knowing the names just because I have heard them before.

[@stever1514]

Lovely video. It was great to see Tran Quang Hai mentioned, I have an old CD i got 20 years ago where he plays 15 different jaw harps and does throat singing at the same time on 3 pieces. I wonder if you've ever seen the documentary on physicist Richard Feynman and his friend Ralph Leighton's quest to go to Tuva in the 1970's and 80's. I saw it in 1990 this was the first time I heard of overtone singing. Here is a youtube link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5bEpqqrZ9p8ra8

[@yeru6427]

Well, I can also sing two notes together, but I started not so long ago, so I'm not doing so well yet. I read about you when I started looking for information about this feature. So far I can only sing two notes an octave apart, but I'm only 15 years old! So everything is still ahead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3a5haSGrpmHnKM In this video there are 3 screenshots with the data of the sound level meter with a built-in spectrometer.

[@danieleduardocastroviedas7159]

[@ritasjourney]

I suspect ancient "western" people also sang this way. We've lost touch with a lot of our old ways.
