Wie Obertöne im Gehirn wirken

Wer mehr Obertöne hört, hat mehr graue Nervenzellsubstanz im “Hörzentrum” der rechten Großhirnrinde. Spannende Studie der Uniklinik Heidelberg, die zeigt, dass derselbe Klang von jedem anders wahrgenommen wird.

Auf den diesjährigen Stuttgarter Stimmtagen werde ich einen Vortrag über die Auswirkungen im Chorklang halten. Mehr dazu in Kürze.

Overtone Etude

www.phyla.info

A short piece with overtone singing and guitar. I composed this after looking at chordal structures in the overtone scale and demonstrating how to sing these as overtone arpeggios. Especially the augmented chordal structures are inspired by that, I did not use these for…

Khoomeï diary

I'm now more confortable with my chest voice, and how to produce overtones.

I got a good idea of what to do in order to sing khoomeï, sygyt and kargyraa.
