music: shortened version of "By this river" by Brian Eno, adapted and recorded by Anna-Maria Hefele
What you see in this dynamic MRI-recording is the tongue movement in the vocal tract while doing overtone singing. The positions of the tongue forms the resoncance cavities which delete all not-wanted overtones in the sound of the voice at a certain point in time, and then amplify a single overtone that is left, which can be heard as a seperate note above the fundamental.
The MRI recordings were made by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Richter, Prof. Dr. Matthias Echternach and Dr.- Ing. Michael Burdumy in the University Medical Center Freiburg, Institute for Musician's Medicine.
www.mh-freiburg... - thank you so much for the kind permission to use the MRI-footage in order to share this fascinating singing-insight with the world!
The team of doctors in Freiburg developed a highly specialized equipment for recording and and also filtering sound in the MRI-machine. This recording is made while using a pre-produced playback on headphones in the really loud MRI-machine while lying on the back.
A lot of more of very interesting MRI- and endoscopy- recordings of various singers and vocalists (classical singers, overtone singers, yodellers, beatboxers....) are published on a DVD @ Helbling.

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

for everyone who is wondering: this is an MRI-recording!!! it is totaly harmless, it is not an X-Ray!!! No radiation!!!

[@vinny142]

Wonderful! Scary, but wonderful!

[@soumyadeepghosh92]

Nothing can be more beautiful than this ! What a piece of art i've just seen ! The MRI idea was brilliant ! Hope to listen more often from you !

[@smarthalayla6061]

MRI do a lot of noise... don't they. To bad that CT scan still exist because its cheaper....

[@Bassist10288]

Thanks so much! i have a hard time with description of tongue placement and actually seeing how it works helped enormously!

[@tahirbalci]

why did you buzzcut your hair?

[@DaGrybo]

We, doctors, never have a good explanation for sinuses (empty cavities inside the bones of your skull). This video is showing one of the possible reasons. Stunning, the song, the performer and the film.

[@AnnaMariaHefele]

how do you mean that? what is the possible reason for havigng bone cavities? I mean, they don't play that big role for resonance etc, as they are from bone and you cannot move that to modify resonance chambers, so everything with what I work is in the vocal tract, not bone cavities...

[@DaGrybo]

What I mean is that sinuses wouldn't be built this way if not the need to resonate during the course of evolution. They never had to be so large in humans. It's difficult to measure their resonance, like it's difficult to say why one face is prettier than the other. Here are case reports showing how important sinuses are to give a pleasant spectrum of voice, and your voice is beautiful - pantherfile.uwm.edu/wmkeith/www/SinusesMerry.pdf

[@annieq8186]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. It feels like water.

[@bossboss966]

I think we can actually learn a lot from the MRI parts. Like how she controls her muscles to produce the overtones.

[@joachimwerdin]

Anna, please, more songs like this.

[@thequasar7058]

This must be exceptionally difficult, from a neurological perspective I am deeply impressed.

[@synoneiro]

Additional credit should go to Hans-Joachim Roedelius who wrote the original piano music for By This River, to which Brian Eno added lyrics and vocals.

[@holyworrier]

I don't understand how the poster could omit this information... Anna-Maria? It is criminal how seldom songwriting credits are included with music on the web.

[@MrLeoYaus]

Art.. Science.. Art.. I cannot say enough

[@gabriel-de8yv]

The fact that she had to shave her head for the MRI. What a huge decision! She's incredibly talented, I love her voice.

[@fatterhorner]

This has near all of my special interests. The incredible music, the framerate of the camera maging the strings on the instrument look all cool, and the MRI scan showing exactly what's going on. The only thing this video needs is a puppy and it'd be specifically pandering to me.

[@Thecyclingeconomicsdoc]

This should have 100M views. Incredible. Fell into this from the Charismatic Voice.

[@voidnoire7256]

This is so beautiful. Listening to this after waking up has really made my day! Thank you!

[@tom_something]

So good to see another video. It's been too long!

[@lenmik1591]

Omg!! Please make this longer!

[@timmeah1]

Anna-Maria this is just wonderful. From this video alone it's clear that your lovely soul is wise, that your heart understands the depth of art and that you are comfortable being you. Thanks for sharing to such an extent.

[@sumanngon]

Holy Maria...this video is amazing!!!!

[@nesra8786]

I was inspired and enjoyed the video, but when I clicked the description I got exited. Thank you for your work!

[@soumyadeepghosh92]

I think I've just witnessed the purest form of art !

[@amlecciones]

This is really relaxing. Aaaaaaaaaaah I love the lyrics. It's wonderful. Aaaaaah relaxing

[@gueyshart5476]

Pocas cosas de este nivel se ven habitualmente en la red. Gracias, gracias, gracias.

[@giorgiolamborghini813]

I love this Brian Eno song and also the overtone singing. This is bread for my teeth. Thanks, congratulations, brava.

[@vitmedia]

A fantastic way to perform a fantastic song.

[@EricB256]

That is some stunning footage. Thanks for showcasing how it's done - from the inside!

[@TalentedDilittante]

Wonderful ... Wunderbar! Deine Stimme und Technik sind. Schön, sinnlich und spirituell. Danke zehr.

[@martinaillingostlund]

Ja bitte, bring endlich mal eine ganze CD mit deinen einzigartigen Gesängen nebst Obertongesängen und deinem wunderschönen Harfenspiel (bzw. auch in Begleitung deiner Nyckelharpa und all den anderen weniger üblichen Instrumenten, die du so brilliant beherrschst) heraus! Du bist eine ganz außergewöhnliche, hochbegabte und begnadete Künstlerin, die es absolut verdient, aus der - wie ich glaube - weitgehenden Anonymität herauszutreten! Ich würde mir für dich und alle musikliebenden Menschen, die offen sind für das Besondere, wünschen, dass du sagen wir mal denselben Bekanntheitsgrad erlangen mögest wie etwa eine Björk oder ähnliche Sängerinnen, die ihren extravaganten, eigenen Wege gehen. Wunderschön ist diese Darbietung hier, sehr informativ auch die Röntgenpassagen, wo man als Laie genau sehen kann, wie sich der Unterschied von normalem Stimmbandgesang und Resonanz-Obertongesang gestaltet. Ich kenne solche schematischen Darstellungen aus der Linguistik, aus der Phonetik, wo man aufzeichnet, wie verschiedene Laute artikuliert werden. Insofern gefallen mir die eingeblendeten Röntgenaufnahmen sehr gut, auch wenn sie weniger mit dem musikalischen Genuss zu tun haben, sondern eher ein "linguistisch-erläuterndes" Kuriosum darstellen. Liebe Anna-Maria, deine anspruchsvolle Musik ist einfach klasse!

[@SaschaKratzer]

That was amazing. Love Eno too

[@guenterleonardobattisti4786]

Soooooooo....... wunderschön !!!

[@vodevsh]

Eno in his "before Ambient period" is spectacular. And your skills in overtones are more than impressive - I never saw such control over em - thank you

[@TJ-be4ju]

Thank you Anna-Maria - I have loved this song for a long time - glad to hear your version :)

[@vladimirlysenko4248]

Breathtaking performance!

Wow wow and wow... Soooo amazing!!

Hello Anna-Maria Hefele Awesome video!!! What a novel idea (the MRI image), it helps to explain the mechanics of your art form.

[@maxgedo]

Amazing...

[@soooziesnooozie9321]

fab!

[@UnspokenNotion]

The MRI thing is cool. To be able to see the inside of a mouth and how it works with singing.

Wouldn't have expected an Eno cover, or the pretty harp playing. I'd love to hear a duet between you and Laure Le Prunenec. Well wishes from (sigh) America

[@eduardocofrancesco4373]

Affascinante poter vedere la meccanica del canto, specialmente del canto polifonico.

[@LalalarecordsUk]

LOVE this!

[@semlan113]

Wasn't there a video of the full song on youtube? I love the sound and would like to listen to the song again. A video where you played live is what i am looking for. It sounds amazing so keep it up.

[@JulioCesar-ew3bd]

[@TheKeroady]

MRI was once my specialty and I installed and repaired many installations back in the day. The imaging sequences have advanced far if this body of work is possible. Could you share the field strength of the magnet and about whether this was a real time playback? I love Anna'a wonderful singing and thank you for your cooperation in this epic work.

As i was watching this suddenly a thought hit me--if you could sing "Deliver Us" from The Prince of Egypt that would be absolutely divine!

ich liebe die Art wie du Musik lebst aber ich würd so sehr gern wissen was mit deinen Haaren los ist

[@CScarsten]

also so super schön find ich das eigentlich nicht .. aber trotzdem irre faszinierend ... und das macht dann das dort die

[@CScarsten]

mich würd mal interessieren, ob jeder Mensch so eine Stirnhöhle hat .. in meiner Stirn ist ein Knochenspalt .. was für eine Enttäuschung .. ich hab gedacht, dass es da direkt ins Gehirn geht ..

[@CScarsten]

wenn man so Tiere schlachtet gehört die Zunge ja noch zu den Organen ..... ich glaub das ist der Schlüssel, der auch die Stirnhöhle erklärt ..... die Organe sind da bis dorthin vorgedrungen .... aber ich glaub das ist was anderes wie wenn Kinder so super hoch schreien können

[@CScarsten]

böse Zungen könnten sogar behaupten, dass da das Gehirn mit hohler Luft ersetzt worden ist

[@lobotommy837]

What happened to your haaaaair ?
