culture music: mongolian throat singing

From the plains of ancient China, to the glaciers of the Inuits, this strange manner of singing is not known to many, and practiced by even fewer. If done correctly, it can produce low, bassy, theramin-like notes, and simultaneously, high bird twitters, as though playing a sweet ocarina. The human pharynx  is incredible in its vast range.


After I discovered this, I immediately wanted to try, and figure out how it is done. But alas, the cold that captured me at the local renaissance faire is wreaking havoc to my vocals. Another day. Entertaining video probably to follow.
