Hello everyone,



My book Overtone Singing - Harmonic Dimensions of the Human Voice will launch this autumn, around November. It is a thoroughly reworked version of my earlier book on Overtone Singing (subtitled Physics and Metaphysics of Harmonics in East and West). It summarises my 30+ years of research in this field as a vocalist and musicologist and discusses all…

This is the explanation why you hear or don't hear a melody in this sound. And it's basic for the understanding of overtone singing.

An idealized, orderly, and multisymmetric presentation of parts of the interval material from Just intonation. All intervallic pairs with the same distance through the center are complementary within the octave.

The compass rose at the top left indicates that one moves horizontally (primarily the axis from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock) in perfect fifths (right) and perfect fourths (left), respectively; in the direction of the axis from 1 o'clock to 7 o'clock and…

Austrian overtonemusic ensemble Aionigma combines the spheric soundworlds of overtone singing and instruments rich in overtones with elements of Early-European, Indo-European and Central-Asian music forms. The result is a unique music that moves in the seemingly so different genres of New Age, World Music, Early Music, Gregorian Chant, Folk and Classical Music.

Recorded live in the wonderful acoustics of Göttweig Abbey, the album Aionigma offers a first sound imprint and leads into…

OVERTONE SINGING

INTERTWINES MUSIC, MATHS, ... AND LANGUAGE!

Hopefully the above statement doesn't sound too overrating for anyone who personally has given attention to overtone singing, where the music very obviously is expressed through number and wovel sounds.

Two days ago I appealed for assistance to translate the interface of the Overtone Spiral program, and I am overwhelmed by the kind and generous responses, which may lead to a German, a Spanish, a Romanian, and maybe…

Marco Gianotta is a great friend and a formidable programmer. Some years ago he fulfilled my dream of seeing the overtone spiral in an interactive version, and he even added some opportunities which I hadn't dared to even dream of.

I am still confident that the overtone spiral/octave spiral is a most fundamental approach to the essence of music, and that this visualization may help not only to get a better grip of the nature of overtone singing and to relevant exercises, but also to get…
