This is me just having fun exploring vowel sounds, overtone harmonics, and kargyraa throatsinging in the setting of a tribal chant. Four tracks, each overdubbed in one take, improvised on the spot, with no post-production aside from standard noise and hiss reduction.

Interesting, the noise reduction has overlayed a slight watery effect i the sound which I'm familiar with and in this context works quite well. The overtones are a little bit quiet, work on a bit of the positioning of the tongue to find each part of the harmonic series within the harmonics or at least the main one, but very interesting and well put together. The first example of this I've heard outside recordings of Mongolian 'long songs'...
Which technique did you mean? I used several.
Most folks immediately pick up on the Kargyraa, that really low rumbly chanting sound. For that, I advise you do some research, or contact me directly, as it's a little complicated to post right here.
Overtone singing: you either open or constrict your throat (different techniques from different parts of the world), sing a very steady note on a very pure vowel, then slowly change the shape of your mouth to isolate a single overtone frequency. You'll know you've got one when there's a flute-like note resonating through your mouth and head.
As for the recording, I just recorded a track in Cool Edit, then immediately dubbed three more on top of it. Did some basic hiss reduction to take out room noise, that's IT. Heh, this is what happens when I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep and the Muse strikes me. Reminds me, I've gotta upload my Hey, Muse song here, that's all about how the Muse likes to come visit me at inopportune moments.

I reckon I can pull off a decent Kargyraa, which is enough to convince people that I can throat sing, but yeah, those harmonics have always gone over my head. Seriously however, I can totally dig this noise what you've got here. I've been experimenting lately a whole lot with drones and that sort of thing. Are you in on NoSoAlMo? I reckon it'd be right up your alley.
Organic Machine Music? XP
Honestly reminds me of Lou Reed's big noisy thing. But it's not quite as abrasive. Although it's creepy... And also silly. It is Canterbury-Scene Cult-Moaning (That obscure reference is kind of retarded, sorry).
You do pretty awesome shit improvising here.
