"OVERTONE CHANTING BY JILL PURCE
Solo Chanting
Group Chanting
with seventeen of her students
A 10-Minute Interview on Inner Sound
copyright Jill Purce 1984"

"JILL PURCE
reveals the rainbow colors of the voice
by ancient shamanic vocal practices

Overtone chanting makes audible
the natural harmonic spectrum of the voice
so that pure bell-like tones
are heard simultaneously
above a continuous bass note

Jill's chanting is influenced by
Mongolian and Tibetan
shamanic techniques"
