VA - Throat Singing, With Echoes Through the Universe (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3.

Throat Singing also known as overtone singing, overtone chanting, harmonic singing, is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the resonances created in the vocal tract, in order to produce additional overtones above the fundamental note being sung.  Tuvan throat singing, known as khoomei is one particular variant of overtone singing practiced by people in Tuva, Mongolia, and Siberia.  In Tuvan throat singing, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and simultaneously one or more pitches over that. 

The history of Tuvan throat singing reaches far back. Many male herders can throat sing, but women are beginning to practice the technique as well. The popularity of throat singing among Tuvans seems to have arisen as a result of geographic location and culture. The open landscape of Tuva allows for the sounds to carry a great distance. Ethnomusicologists studying throat singing in these areas mark khoomei as an integral part in the ancient pastoral animism still practiced today. Often, singers travel far into the countryside looking for the right river or go up to the steppes of the mountainside to create the proper environment for throat-singing.

The animistic world view of this region identifies the spirituality of objects in nature, not just in their shape or location, but in their sound as well. Thus, human mimicry of nature's sounds is seen as the root of throat singing. An example of this is the Tuvan story of the waterfall above the Buyant Göl (Deer River in Tuvan), where mysterious harmonic sounds are said to have attracted deer to bask in the waters, and where it is said, harmonic sounds were first revealed to people. Indeed, the cultures in this part of Asia have developed many instruments and techniques to mimic the sounds of animals, wind, and water. While the cultures of this region share throat singing, their styles vary in breadth of development. 

The people of Tuva have a wide range of throat singing vocalizations and were the pioneers of six pitch harmonics. There are several different classification schemes for Tuvan throat singing. In one, the three basic styles are khoomei, kargyraa and sygyt, while the sub-styles include borbangnadyr, chylandyk, dumchuktaar, ezengileer and kanzyp. In another, there are five basic styles: khoomei, sygyt, kargyraa, borbangnadyr and ezengileer. The substyles include chylandyk, despeng borbang, opei khoomei, buga khoomei, kanzyp, khovu kargyraazy, kozhagar kargyraazy, dag kargyraazy, Oidupaa kargyraazy, uyangylaar, damyraktaar, kishteer, serlennedyr and byrlannadyr. These schemes all use Tuvan terminology.

In listening to these sounds, you come to understand that the Mongolians have been preserving and enriching their heritage for many centuries now. The music is always inimitable and sublime.

Here are 61 examples of Tuvan Throat Singing, from Mongolian bluegrass to spiritual harmonics. Open your mind and enjoy the amazing sounds of Mongolian and Tuvaluan throat singers which are full of sub-harmonic and melodic overtone melodies.
