Dream 2558 · biphonic vocal tract
Khoomei — one note that splits in two
A single sustained tone divides into a droning fundamental and a piercing whistle overtone you sweep by hand — a Tuvan sygyt effect synthesized by a real Kelly–Lochbaum vocal tract. Slide the tight constriction and the whistle climbs the harmonic ladder over the steady drone.
