	Khoomei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Khoomei (Tuvan language: Хөөмей, Mongolian:Khöömii, Simplified Chinese:呼麦, Traditional Chinese:呼麥), also spelled Xoomii, Xöömei, Xöömej, Khöömei, or Höömey, is a type of throat singing used in folk music from Tuva and Mongolia.
		This word is used both to describe one of the styles of throat-singing characteristic of folk music from Tuva (a style which sounds somewhat like a droning voice accompanied by a Theremin) and also to describe all Tuvan throat-singing styles (ranging from earthquake-like rumbling, to mid-tones with beats, and various high-register styles).
		The three principal styles are xoomii, kargyraa, and sygyt.

		Tuvan throat singing, or xoomii, is famous world-wide, primarily for its novelty.
		These are include borbannadir (which is compared to the sound of a flowing river), sygyt (similar to whistling), xoomii, chylandyk (likened to chirping crickets) and ezengileer (like a horses trotting).
		Throat singing, also known in the western world as overtone singing, harmonic singing, or harmonic chant; and many other regional names, is a type of singing that manipulates the harmonic resonances (or formants) created as air travels through the human vocal folds and out the lips.

	Xoomii
		This word is used both to describe one of the styles of "throat-singing" characteristic of folk music from Tuva (a style which sounds like a nasally whistling) and also to describe all Tuvan throat-singing styles (ranging from eathquake-like rumbling, to mid-tones with beats, and various high-register styles which often include overtones).
		The music is inspired by the steppes and the songs are often about horses, thus thematically Tuvan folk music is much like western cowboy music thematically.

		Intuit throat songs have an unusual technique that sounds akin to rhythmic deep raspy hyperventilating or animal sounds.
		Indeed, many songs are intended to imitate sounds of nature and daily life (compare with Xoomii).
		It's often sung by small groups of women, and it's not unusual for songs to end when one member or the entire ensemble breaks into laughter.

		I myself use it this way in my own work.
