Overtone singing is a method of producing sound with the throat that utilizes harmonics. This allows the musician to produce two tones at once. The spectrum of sounds a skilled practitioner can produce are awe-inspiring and mind-boggling. Apparently anyone can learn but the knack escapes me so far.
The Tuva culture is responsible for a sizable fraction of the songs in this podcast. The Tuvans “are a Turkic ethnic group living in southern Siberia.” (Wikipedia) Other examples in this episode come from Buddhism and the so-called western world.
