A TikTok video has gone viral after demonstrating polyphonic overtone singing, an ancient vocal technique that allows a performer to produce two notes at once. The clip, posted by @ambient.dave, has now reached 204,000 views.
Dave explained that overtone singing involves generating a low undertone while shaping the mouth and throat to create a resonating high overtone, resulting in two simultaneous pitches. The technique is deeply rooted in eastern musical traditions, particularly in regions such as Mongolia and the Republic of Tuva, where variations of throat singing have been practiced for centuries.
He shared that mastering this level of control took him seven years of practice, and he continues to refine his clarity and precision. Viewers praised the performance as mesmerising, otherworldly, and a rare glimpse into a culturally rich vocal art form.
