Today we are going to see the most interesting, ornate, unexpected ones - send us more examples of these fascinating objects that you found around of world."

Polyphonic Overtone Singing

Anna-Maria Hefele and her astounding polyphonic overtone singing technique... In this video she demonstrates the incredible and almost inhuman ability to create a harmony of two notes at the time using a single breath. Overtone singing is the same technique ("khoomei") used by shamans and throat singers of Tuva/(Mongolia)
