[Phys-L] Polyphonic Singing Demo/Explanation



Here is a cool combination of music and science. The video gives a rather excellent explanation of polyphonic singing (singing two different notes at once), along with spectrograms of the sounds produced. She discusses overtones and filtering (both electronic and vocal) to describe how the
polyphonic singing is accomplished.

For anyone covering standing waves and resonance soon, this could be an excellent introduction. (Or forward it to music faculty at your school).
