Recently I recorded my throat singing friend after meeting him and some other cycling mates at one of our favorite places along the Mississippi river. Here is his beautifully disturbing rendition of Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix straight off the recorder with no editing or processing.

I have been wanting to post an example of my talented friend Chris Huff throat singing for some time, so here it is in all its unprocessed monophonic glory. Throat singing or overtone singing is a technique that vocalists use to sing multiple pitches at the same time with a single voice and is often used in various religious chants in central Asia.
I refrained from dousing it with a Taj Mahal style reverberation setting in case anyone wants to use it, since I am placing in it in the Share Remix Adapt sample pool. See if you can identify how many pitches he is producing simultaneously. It’s a little difficult to discern because of the dissonant intervals.
