The inimitable Mills has discovered Tuvan throat singing. My favorite Tuvan song is from an album called “Fly, Fly My Sadness,” a collaboration between Mongolian throat singers and The Bulgarian Voices.

I was driving when I first heard this song and almost had to pull the car over at 1:20. Wish I could post the audio instead of a crappy youtube vid, because this video sounds like crap and also omits a breathtaking outro.

The “crap” version is still pretty moving. Buying now.

I was wondering the other day what would happen if you put Tuvan throat singing through auto-tune. Anyone care to do the experiment for me?

Update: I did it myself.
