Singing From the Inner-Asian Steppe
Robbie Beahrs uses several computer tools to help visualize the music he studies. In this sonogram of a Kargyraa, a throat singing vocalization from Tuva, the horizontal bands represent the overtones above the drone that the singer is vocalizing. The singer selectively filters out some and allows others to become prominent. The darker lines represent what we hear as a melody.
Listen to Robbie discuss the recording that this sonogram depicts.
