Mongolian throat singing - Khoomii




Mongolian Throat Singing - Khoomii

Khoomi-throat singing: 



Natural sounds of a fundamental larynx vibrating can be done through the singer controlling their voice box. Tones at higher pitches makes the sound, the human voice is rich with harmonics. 

The Khoomi singer uses these fundamentals or base pitch to amplify their vocal range.

The Mongol Khoomi may be fascinating for foreigners. It is a musical, which can be delivered with a help of a guttural voice and specific way of breathing. One tone comes out as a whistle-like sound, the result of the locked breath in the chest being forced out through the throat in a specific way, while a lower tone sounds as a base. Khoomi consists of four different techniques, Khahiraa - this technique consists of pushing out air from one’s diaphragm to create a sound, Ishergee - which is a guttural bass whistling sound where the singer has a low embouchure, Narmai - where a singer has a sound coming out of their nose, Shahai - this is where a singer makes a high narrow sound through a steady stream of air making two tones come out at once.
