Music of Tibet (album)

Music of Tibet is a historic recording, made by world religion scholar Huston Smith in 1967. 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.
