Tran Quang Hai Obertongesang - Westlicher Obertongesang - Kehlgesang - Höömii = mongolischer Kehlkopfgesang

Obertongesang Obertongesang ist eine Gesangstechnik, die aus dem Klangspektrum der Stimme einzelne Obertöne so herausfiltert, dass sie als getrennte Töne wahrgenommen werden und der Höreindruck einer Mehrstimmigkeit entsteht. Man spricht dann von Obertongesang, wenn den Obertönen eine eigenständige musikalische Funktion zukommt, zu unterscheiden von Gesangtechniken, die lediglich die Klangfarbe der Stimme mit Obertönen anreichern. Westlicher Obertongesang Die Gesangskunst wurde im… Continue

A perturbation method predicts the resonance shift caused by a bore enlargement at a position x0 of a pipe with a irregular geometry (e.g., Fletcher & Rossing 1991). During a performance of Kargyraa, the bore diameter of the vocal tract changes at the lips, a pressure node for… Continue

False vocal fold surface waves during Sygyt singing: a theoretical study Chen-Gia Tsai 1. Introduction Overtone singing is a vocal technique found in Central Asian cultures such as Tuva and Mongolia, by which one singer produces a high pitch of nF0 along with a low drone pitch of F0 (F0 is the fundamental frequency, n = 6, 7, ...13 in typical performances). The voice of overtone singing is characterized by a sharp formant centered at nF0. There are two approaches of physical mo… Continue

In Sygyt performances, the rising tongue divides the vocal tract into two cavities, which are connected by a narrow channel, whereas the tongue does not rise in Kargyraa performances.

For overtone-singing voices, the sharp formant Fk can contribute to the perception of pitch. A pitch model based on autocorrelation analysis predic… Continue
