Tuvan Throat & Overtone Singing CDs


Overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, harmonic singing, or harmonic chant, is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the harmonic resonances (or formants) created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out the lips.
Throat singing usually refers to several traditional Central Asian styles of overtone singing, but is also applied to traditional techniques from other regions. It is usually differentiated from overtone singing by the application of a harsh voice or some constriction in the larynx. (Definition taken from Wikipedia)
