Himalayan overtone singing
Himalayan overtone singing is a unique vocal technique originating from the Himalayan region, particularly practiced by the Tibetan monks. This style involves producing multiple pitches simultaneously, allowing the singer to create a rich, harmonic sound. The technique is often used in spiritual practices and meditation, enhancing the experience through its calming and resonant qualities.
The practice relies on manipulating the vocal cords and mouth shape to emphasize specific overtones. Singers can produce a fundamental tone while simultaneously highlighting higher frequencies, resulting in a mesmerizing auditory experience. This form of singing is not only an art but also a means of connecting with deeper states of consciousness.
