have a question…. …
have a question…. te overtone melodies can only go through the natural armonics of the fundamental noise sung, isn´t? and to what armonic can you reach?
Absolutely …
Absolutely beautiful! . . Try listening with your heart. It feels wonderful.

I like the concept, …
I like the concept, but I find the vid just a little corny. Maybe the editing is to blame. It’s really too fast. I view this as a rough draft toward something better. But thank you for posting.
wow this is …
wow this is fascinating…i couldn’t help but smile
The possibilites …
The possibilites are quite interesting for the future of vocal expression. Though this example leaves a little to be desired in the direction of harmnoy. But, they are at least trying to push the envelope. Success to ‘em, I say. Long live experimentation in music.

agreed. complete lack of mystique.
shitting in the woods can be more of a spiritual experience than this
It turns into …
It turns into something terribly awkward from 1:12 :S
haha nice example

yeah whatever…..sounds like some leprechaun crap to me
*rofl* It’s …
*rofl* It’s tolerable (as long as you don’t watch), until he launches into the generic I-IV-V progression and she starts yodeling over it. Decent, technique, I guess, but terrible musicianship, turning something which can be hauntingly beautiful into an pedestrian irritant.
if you just listen, …
if you just listen, it isn´t bad at all..
so concentrate on the beauty of the music, and not on the posers who do it.;)
guns´n´roses, for example, i love their sound, but axl is the greatest poser-idiot on earth.
Am I the only one …
Am I the only one that wants to slap him…
I can do that with my voice…
But I’d rather not break my vocal cords…
What an irritating …
What an irritating misuse of a beautiful form of expression…
Well there’s much …
Well there’s much furore all around the new age stuff… referring to this video Mr. Rachele is not one of the world’s leading overtone singers to me (I sing overtones be myself for years) but it’s very nice in combining different interesting vocal styles… when it come to this tradition stuff I have to say that I prefer new interpretations and usings of the techniques especially in combining it with unusual music and instruments
i think what they …
i think what they have done in this video is try to present some of the worlds most amazing musical traditions into a genre that the average person, not skilled in these arts forms can appreciate, and at this i personally think they have dony very well.

Spot on Steerpikey, …
Spot on Steerpikey, i totally agree. This ancient warlike music unaltered for centuries finally gets into the hands of butchers.
