Music of Tibet (album)
Music of Tibet[1] is a historic recording, made by world religion scholar Huston Smith in 1967.[2] While traveling in India, Smith was staying at the Gyuto Monastery. While listening to the monks chanting, he realized that each monk was producing multiple overtones for each note, creating a chord from a single voice. He made a recording of the chanting and had engineers at MIT confirm the phenomenon, which is known as overtone singing.[3]
