Throat Singing

Post by LIVE FO RETSINIM »

so I know for a fact that most of you gimps only listen to what 99.9 or the Warp tour tells you to, but I will take it upon myself as a public service to educate you fucking dickless morons about the rest of the world.

it is called Overtone singing or Throat singing. Basically singing a root note, and then using your mouth as a cavity, you amplify one of the overtones.


A few years ago I caught this performance from hun huur tu on one of those UW channels and was blown away by that shit.

then today at the EVCC they had some guy from around here that I guess has some choir of overtone singers come in and demonstrate some of it. Man it is pretty amazing.

I couldn't find anything by the local guy, but on youtube there is a bunch of fucking crazy awesome shit:


This dude is pretty good and there are others as well.

Bassplayers that use picks are not real musicians.

also,

Any guitarist that uses a wah pedal, covers over the fact that they don't know how to play.

also,


Drummers... why do they leave their sticks on the dashboard when they park??
Take a picture, trick. I'm on a boat, bitch.

So, let me get this straight.
John Paul Jones used a pick on a few Zeppelin tunes.

Wah...
So Hendrix and Clapton don't know how to play?

And the sticks in the dash...
They point North! :D

You asshole, I use a pick most of the time. Wah is the secret of Kirk Hammett's success, and it is true that leaving your drum sticks on the dashboard qualifies you for a handicap spot

From Wikipedia:
"Xhosa women of South Africa have a low, rhythmic style of throat-singing called eefing that is often accompanied by call-and-response vocals."

Eefing is a much better name than throat singing.

And when they sing from their vaginas, it's called Qu-Eefing.



Someone had to say it... :D
