About the aliquot singing

Aliquot singing is based on conscious highlighting of individual spectral tones, it’s amplification and separation from the ground singed tone. As the same as the light is made up from spectral colors, every tone is made of spectrum of aliquot tones – tones of real tone line. The singer can make them audible by smooth changes of mouth resonating space, and this way he can create an image of choir singing. Every natural sound is contains aliquots, but we don’t hear them usually, we feel them as a color of the sound.

History

Aliquot singing is a dateless way of singing, nowadays still usual in Mongolia, Tuva or Tibet. We can find it’s roots in many cultures all around the world – the old traditions of Mongolia, Arabia, Africa, Mexico, Jewish cabbalistic tradition, Christianic tradition (Gregorian chant), spiritual singing and prayers of Tibetian monks.

In every culture were aliquots used for healing, in rituals and prayers, because they’re a powerful way of physical, mental end emotional ordeal. They help with healing the body and soul, and contribute to renew the harmony and spiritual transformation.

Healing effects of singing

The voice is telling about us more then we would ever thought. Just after a few words we find out, if the second people is feeling chilled or nervous. We can even diagnose body illnesses thanks to the voice. Every imbalance in the organism would show itself on the color of the voice – some frequencies are softer, and some are even missing. It’s possible to bring these frequencies to the body again, and to heal the problem this way. There are already even computer programs, that can add the missing frequencies to the record of your voice, and the healing consist only of listening to those records then. It’s possible of course to depend on your feeling and intuition, and harmonize the whole body, or concrete aching parts, with your own singing. Every organ of the body has it’s own vibrations and with the voice we can resonate with them. See that every tone you are singing, you feel resonate on different place. It‘ s more evident when you sing in brumendo (with closed mouth)

Even the easiest aliquot singing is physically very pleasant, resonation of high tones is infiltrating the whole body, making distinct feelings, hardly comparable to anything else.

Hearing and singing the aliquots

To learn aliquot singing we must at first be able to hear the aliquot tones. When we hear them and listen to them, we subconsciously enrich our own voice of it’s frequencies and we can start to sing them.
