In one of my classes here, a Mongolian student was impressed and surprised that my demonstration of vocal placement options sounded like a Throat-singer from her homeland in Ulanbataar.
She gave me a CD to show what she meant.
Boy am I blown away. This singer achieves the 'effect' of two notes at once with the use of harmonics and resonater movement. Incredible! Very similar to the Tibetan technique, but uses more range.
I feel like I've been shown a whole new dimension to the instrument. I'd heard about this, but never heard it for myself.
I love delving into cultures. If was wasn't here, I wouldn't have met the Mongolian and got a window into her culture (we talked for ages after a class about her country).
Man. Had to share it or I'd burst, sorry ("Midas has donkeys ears, Midas has donkeys ears...")
