WHAT IS THIS RETREAT ABOUT?

In Voice Yoga’s dynamic group process, you go beyond your habits and expectations. Something larger than yourself emerges: a flow of hidden creative potential.

Grounded in physical exercise such as yoga and breathwork, we practise all kinds of sounds without meaning. We do not emphasize a beautiful singing voice either. We are looking for pure, direct expressions of physical resonance and vibration through mouth, limbs, hips, feet, skin and inner organs. Voice Yoga is grounded in the idea that many of us are often trapped in body-mind dualities and many other dualities. We look to go beyond these dualities; to dissolve the many lines we draw around everything and make them permeable. To accept that rigidity is often there and has its function, but to strive for more fluidity. In these moments, when things flow without a worry, we can experience great joy, like an innocent child.

PLACE

We hold our sessions in Shufang’s Energy Healing, a gorgeous yoga studio with a big garden in Dulan, Taidong. The studio has all utilities we need. We can use the big lawn outside for music and workouts in fresh air (weather permitting), a giant rock to repose, and shady places to rest.

There are several options for your overnight stay nearby, on a walking distance or further away. We are about a 10 minutes walk from downtown Dulan.

Accommodation: Moonrise Inn is closest to the studio nearby.

nearby hostels that are popular with our students include Tranquilo Hostel and On My Way Dulan Hostel

∂þ

FOR WHOM?

Despite the name, Voice Yoga is not a harsh or demanding yoga camp, quite the contrary: it lets you grow at your own pace and rest, sleep or observe when you want to. The workshop attracts young, curious artists; established musicians and performers facing creative obstacles or blockades; yoga and other body-mind workers not very familiar with sound; people familiar with sound but needing a fuller understanding and experience of it; people young and old looking for physical and spiritual renewal; practitioners of contemplative traditions like Buddhist meditation looking for wholesome, creative work in line with their existing practice; busy people needing a break from 9-5 work and seeking body-mind restoration in a relaxed atmosphere.

There are no specific requirements to join. Ages range from students in their 20s to retirees in their 70s. Yoga, music or other skills are not required. We strive for a group between 8 and 12 people.

∂þ

HOW TO PREPARE?

Bring a yoga mat to exercise and lie down. There are sitting cushions and also chairs if you cannot sit on the floor for long. Bring something to cover yourself when we repose or meditate. Bringing an instrument is a good idea (no need to play it well; a percussive instrument is always good).

YOUR TEACHER

Mark van Tongeren is a Dutch sound explorer with a deep interest in the synergy of arts, sciences and contemplative traditions. Mark has 30 years of experience in theatre, music and dance productions and holds a PhD from Leiden University’s Academy of Creative and Performing Arts. He has practised yoga for over twenty-five years and all kinds of voice/music/performance practices for 35 years. He first learnt Vipassana from S.N. Goenka in 2002. His one-man enterprise Fusica was established in 1998 to explore intersections of sound and the arts (music) on the one hand, and acoustic and other academic research (fusikè, physics) on the other.

KNOW MORE?

Mark’s Voice Yoga has been running for more than 15 years and brings together decades of creative, vocal expression, yogic discipline and contemplative traditions.

Voice Yoga is neither yoga as you see it all around you, nor music as you hear it every day or learn it in classes and workshops. It is a personal, artistic synthesis of a wide range of musical, resonant, theatrical, contemplative and physical arts. What binds them together is Mark’s unique synthesis and his vision to create a strong sense of flow, no matter what the activity is. Serious workouts smoothly blend with unforgettable, unrepeatable musical creations; deep breath work morphs into contact improv; vocal exercises into theatre; and so on.
This retreat will expand your vision, whether you are a musician, dancer, yoga teacher, actor, or just interested in working on your personal growth through the connections between sound, body and mind.

CURIOUS BUT IN DOUBT?

關於聲音瑜伽療癒假期

在聲音瑜伽的動態團體過程中，你將超越自己的習慣和期望。看見比自我更廣大的自己開始甦醒: 那些隱藏著的創造力開始顯現，如河水般開始流動。

以瑜伽或呼吸法等身體練習為基礎，我們使用各種沒有意義和也不強調美麗歌聲的聲音。我們尋求透過嘴巴、四肢、臀部、雙腳、皮膚及內臟，來表達純粹、直接的身體共鳴與震動感受。聲音瑜伽的根基在於：我們許多人往往被困在身心二元對立，以及其他諸多二元對立之中。我們致力於超越這些二元對立；消融我們在萬物周圍劃下的種種界線，使其變得更通透。我們接受僵化往往存在且有其功能，但同時追求更大的流動性。在這些時刻，當萬物無憂無慮地流動時，我們便能像天真無邪的孩子般，體驗到無上的喜悅。

參加對象

儘管「聲音瑜珈」名稱聽起來嚴苛，但這並非一個要求嚴苛的瑜珈營，恰恰相反：它讓你能以自己的步調成長，並隨心所欲的休息、睡覺或安靜觀察。

這個工作坊吸引了年輕、充滿好奇心的藝術家；已經在創作中遇到困境或障礙的專業音樂家和表演者；對聲音不太熟悉的瑜伽和其他身心工作者；熟悉聲音但需要更深入了解和體驗的人；年輕和年長的人，尋求身體和精神的更新；佛教及其他靜觀傳統（如佛教禪修）的修行者，正在尋找符合其現有需求——即需要更深入的呼吸與誦經修習——的、有益且富有創造性的練習；忙碌的人們需要從朝九晚五的工作中抽身休息，並在輕鬆的氛圍中恢復身心。

參加工作坊無需特定要求。年齡從20多歲的學生到約75歲退休者不等。不需要瑜伽、音樂或其他技能。我們希望參加的人數在8到12人之間。

∂þ

如何準備？

請攜帶瑜伽墊用於運動和躺下。如果您不能長時間坐在地板上，我們提供坐墊和椅子。當我們休息或冥想時，請攜帶東西蓋住自己。攜帶樂器是個好主意（不需要演奏得很好；打擊樂器總是不錯的選擇）

馬克的聲音瑜伽已實踐快超過15年，這個方法匯集了數十年的創造性、聲音表達、瑜伽修行和冥想傳統。

聲音瑜伽既不是你在四周看到的瑜伽，也不是你每天都聽到的音樂，或在其他工作坊與課程中學習到的。它是一種個人的、藝術性的綜合，融合了廣泛的音樂、共鳴、戲劇、冥想和身體藝術。它們的共同點是馬克的獨特綜合和他的願景，創造出一種強烈的流動感，無論活動是什麼。嚴肅的練習融入令人難以忘懷（無法重複！）的音樂創作中，深層呼吸法演變為接觸即興，聲音練習則變成劇場。

這個療癒假期將擴展你的視野，無論您是音樂家、舞者、瑜伽老師、演員，還是只是對通過聲音、身體和心靈之間的聯繫來工作於個人成長感興趣。

Learn Overtone Singing @ Home

Fusica — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 10:41:54 +0000

The Mongols, the Tuvans and Tibetans practise it since times immemorial.

Composers Lamonte Young and Karlheinz Stockhausen introduced it to a select audience in the West.

Singers David Hykes, with his Harmonic Choir, and Michael Vetter developed a whole new way of doing it.

Your own voice resonates multiple sounds when you sing, and even when you speak.

[you are reading the transcription of the text spoken in the video]

In recent decades, more and more people discover this unusual way of vocalising, making it somewhat more …. usual.

I am talking about the technique called overtone singing. A singing practise that allows one to produce a low note and a melody of higher tones on top of it, using only the human voice.
Overtone singing is not mystical, secret or esoteric by itself, though it’s easy to understand the association.

Anyone can learn the basics of producing two tones at the same time, using only his or her voice. And this course teaches that in a few dozen clear and infectious videos. Each video zooms in to one specific way to develop a more resonant voice, making your overtones more and more audible.

Join me, Mark van Tongeren, author of the definitive sourcebook on the subject, on a path I am travelling for over 30 years.

I taught myself the basics of overtone singing around 1990. And then went on to study, record and interview many important people in the field around the world, starting with Rollin Rachele, author of the first-ever study guide for overtone singers. Soon after I set out to study with the famous throat singers from Tuva, Siberia, like Kaygal-ool Khovalyg of Huun-Huur-Tuu.

I wanted to understand how they look at their vocal art, music and sound and the connections to body, mind, spirit and religion.

This course is my condensation of decades of singing, teaching, listening and learning.
Full of tips and tricks and all the basic tools you need to jump-start your own journey to new dimensions of your resonant body, mind and voice.

Set apart one to two months for this fascinating journey, to change the way you listen and the way you make sound with your voice.

Enjoy access for the rest of your life.

R E S O N A N C E XI (11) – 2026-2027

Fusica — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 09:13:51 +0000

WHERE THE SEEDS OF OVERTONES AWAKEN AND GROW

This very complete workshop teaches you the principles of resonance by learning the basics of overtone singing: a special way of listening to and making vocal sounds that has many useful applications for singers and non-singers alike. It requires no previous musical training. It is taught by one of the world’s leading overtone singers, Mark van Tongeren, who spend decades documenting this fascinating technique by visiting and recording performers in all major traditions and interviewing many contemporary singers and composers.

R E S O N A N C E is Mark’s most complete course. It gives you a thorough basis in practices based around overtone singing and the resonant voice in general. This course was first launched in 2014 and is now running for the 11th time. In recent years it was updated to take advantage of the fact that all three team members can assist through their long training with Mark as overtone singers and ‘resonators’. The result of this shift became clear at the end of the most recent 8-day courses (2025 and 2026): students perform better and learn quicker than in previous years.

We also introduced a new format that allows you to learn the basics at your own pace at home. The subsequent stages are:

– an easy-paced, one month online course that introduces many of the basic concepts and practices.

– a four-day in-person workshop to further explore your personal voice and ways to harmonise, resonate and sing overtones together.

– 9 weeks self-study at home or together

– another four-day group session with pieces and improvisations guided by two Teaching Assistants …

– … also including a one-on-one class with Mark for each student to work on specific obstacles

– life-time access to the online modules

Are you not living in or near Taiwan and not able to join our retreat? Or are you not a beginner anymore? Then you can consider to take one or several 1-on-1 online classes with Mark.

TIMELINE RESONANCE 2026

DETAILED PROGRAM

Online December 10 – 30, 2026 (3 weeks) 2026

We start the learning journey online. The online video course contains 3 modules with 35 videos (2 hours total). You will receive one module per week. You can go through the videos at your own pace, and start to practice with the video instructions.

3 Online Live Q&A sessions: December 16, 23, 30 (19:30-20:00)

SAPIENTIA (Guangfu) January 7 – 10 (4 days fulltime) 2027

We come together in the tranquil, focused setting of Sapientia in Guangfu, Hualien, where we will sing, listen, sense and resonate together for four days. We immerse ourselves in the resonances of each other’s voices, building on the power that emerges from close-listening. We fine-tune our voices in harmonies – both conventional ‘outer’ harmonies and the ‘inner’ harmonies of overtones. These practices are interspersed with insightful stories from the world’s most iconic traditions of overtone singing, documented by Mark himself in the course of more than three decades of research and artistic exploration.

Day 1

Finding inner and outer harmony from embodied breath and natural resonance

Day 2

Traditional practise and wisdom explored and utilised for new forms of resonant singing

Day 3

Harmonics as/in healing and therapy: confronting fear, developing self-confidence.

Day 4

Boosting your Resonance and creative applications.

SESSION TIMES SAPIENTIA

Breakfast 8:00-9:00

Morning sessions: 9:30-12:30

Lunch break: 12:30-14:30

Afternoon sessions: 14:30-16:00 + 16:30-18:00.

Dinner break: 18:00-19:00

Evenings are for resting, self practice, jamming… till 22:00?

The last session finishes in the afternoon of Sunday at 4 PM.

THEMES FOR THESE FOUR-DAYS

SINGING

° learn to sing the basic techniques of overtone singing: NG (gong), RR (bird), LL (sygyt), vowel (ee-uu)

° enrich your vocal resonance

° meditative and therapeutic practices

° embodied listening, embodied vocalising

° musical ritual and wisdom from Christianity and Buddhism

° Mongolian, Siberian and Tibetan forms of throat singing

Like no other, Mark has single-handedly undertaken enduring, in-depth investigations into all the major traditions of overtone singing: Tuva and the Siberian and Mongolian Altai, Tibet, Sardinia, South-Africa.

LISTENING

° break through your habitual patterns of hearing and making sound

° ‘ear cleaning’: make a new start listening to all sound instead of familiar patterns

° hearing overtones in the colours and timbres of a voice

RESONANT ENCOUNTERS

° guided resonating with one or more voices

° giving feedback to each other’s voices

VOCAL STYLE and INSTRUMENTS

The main emphasis is on using / applying / hearing resonance with a relaxed, more occidental voice. Short introductions to the pressed, guttural voices of throat singing, for example Tuvan khöömei and sygyt are also given for comparison. We will learn some pieces and guided improvisations by by Mark and also create our own. In addition we will use instruments such as singing bowls, bells, lutes and fiddles. You are encouraged to bring your own – the greater the resonant spectrum, the better!

9-WEEK SELF-STUDY

As you continue your journey with your own voice, we provide you with a curated selection of some of the most interesting and important videos on the internet. These will guarantee to keep you inspired in your own practise and deepen your understanding. (Primarily English – Mandarin may not be available.)

Optional: organise your own online or in-person gatherings to learn with/from each other, discuss videos, etc..

SAPIENTIA (Guangfu) March 18 – 21 (4 days fulltime) 2027

During this second get-together, Mark and his teaching assistants will build upon the results from the previous 4-day immersive workshop and your personal journey over the past 9 weeks. Much time is spent on technical work, which will be diversified to cater for different types of students and their needs.

The basis of resonance is concentrated voice/body work, balance of body-mind exercise and good overtone singing skills. During these four days, each student will have a one-on-one private session with Mark to erase stumbleblocks. We also work in small groups, and collectively on pieces that we learn or to create new work. After this weekend, you will know your strengths and which direction to go. On the second afternoon students collaborate to create final pieces to round off their R E S O N A N C E retreat..

SESSION TIMES SAPIENTIA

R E S O N A N C E 《聲音的共鳴》 2026

|| 泛音覺醒與成長之地

這是一個非常完整的工作坊，透過學習泛音詠唱的基礎來教授共鳴原理：一種特殊的聆聽和發聲方式，對歌手和非歌手都有許多實用的應用。無需任何音樂訓練基礎。

泛音歌唱是一種獨特的聆聽與發聲方式，不論你是否有歌唱經驗，都能將其中的技巧運用在聲音、音樂與日常生活中。不需要任何音樂基礎即可參加。

課程由世界頂尖的泛音歌唱家之一 Mark van Tongeren 親自傳授。數十年來，他走訪世界各地，拜訪並錄製各大泛音歌唱傳統的演唱者，深入研究這項迷人的歌唱技術，並與眾多當代歌手及作曲家交流訪談，累積了深厚的知識與實務經驗。

《聲音的共鳴》是 Mark 最完整、最深入的課程，為你奠定以泛音歌唱與整體聲音共鳴為核心的紮實基礎。這門課自 2014 年首次開設以來，至今已舉辦第 11 屆。

近年來，課程也持續升級：有三位教學團隊成員皆長期接受 Mark 的訓練，成為經驗豐富的泛音歌唱者與共鳴者，在課程中提供更細緻的協助。這樣的教學成果，在 2025 與 2026 年的兩屆密集課程中尤其明顯：學員的學習速度顯著增快，表現也比以往更加出色。

|| 工作坊簡述

RESONANCE 是 Mark 最完整的課程，為您提供以泛音詠唱和共鳴聲音為核心的全面實踐基礎。今年我們推出新的課程形式，讓您可以按照自己的節奏在家學習基礎知識。後續階段包括：

1.為期一個月的輕鬆自學線上課程，介紹許多基本概念和練習
2.第一個實體工作坊為期四天，深入探索您的個人聲音，以及共同和諧、共鳴和演唱泛音的方法
3.9週自學或與學員共學，複習所學內容
4.第二個實體工作坊為期四天，每位學員將有與一次與馬克一對一課程，並由兩位助教指導團體作品和即興創作
5.線上課程終身觀看權限

|| 其他安排
您不住在台灣或台灣附近，無法參加我們的密集課程嗎？或者您已經不是初學者了？那麼您可以考慮與 Mark 進行一次或多次線上一對一課程

|| 第一次泛音實體工作坊

夏比安民宿（光復）2027年1月7-10日（4天全日）

我們將在花蓮光復寧靜而專注的夏比安民宿相聚，在這裡我們將共同歌唱、聆聽、感知和共鳴四天。我們沉浸在彼此聲音的共鳴中，建立在深度聆聽所產生的力量之上。我們在和聲中微調我們的聲音——包括傳統的「外在」和聲以及泛音的「內在」和聲。這些練習穿插著來自世界上最具代表性的泛音詠唱傳統的深刻故事，這些都是 Mark 在超過三十年的研究和藝術探索過程中親自記錄的。

＃第一天從具身呼吸和自然共鳴中尋找內在與外在的和諧
＃第二天探索並運用傳統實踐和智慧，創造新形式的共鳴歌唱
＃第三天泛音作為/在治療中的應用：面對恐懼，發展自信
＃第四天提升您的共鳴和創意應用

|| 夏比安課程時間
早餐：8:00-9:00
上午課程：9:30-12:30
午餐休息：12:30-14:30
下午課程：14:30-16:00 + 16:30-18:00
晚餐休息：18:00-19:00
晚間時間：休息、自我練習、即興演奏……直到22:00
最後一天的課程在週日下午4點結束

||這四天的主題

學習內容：

＊學習泛音詠唱的基本技巧：NG（gong）、RR（bird）、LL（sygyt）、母音（ee-uu）
＊豐富您的聲音共鳴
＊冥想和療癒練習
＊具身聆聽、具身發聲
＊來自基督教、佛教和原住民靈性的音樂智慧
＊蒙古、西伯利亞和西藏的喉音唱法形式

Mark 獨一無二地對所有主要的泛音詠唱傳統進行了持久而深入的調查：圖瓦、西伯利亞和蒙古阿爾泰、西藏、薩丁尼亞、南非。

~~聆聽：

＊突破您習慣性的聽覺和發聲模式
＊在聲音的色彩和音色中聽到泛音
＊「耳朵清潔」：重新開始聆聽所有聲音，而不是熟悉的模式

~~共鳴相遇：

＊引導與一個或多個聲音共鳴
＊互相給予聲音的回饋

~~聲樂風格與樂器：

主要重點是使用/應用/聽到放鬆的、更西方化的聲音中的共鳴。也會簡短介紹壓迫性的、喉音的喉音唱法，例如圖瓦的 khöömei 和 sygyt 作為比較。我們將學習 Mark 的一些作品和引導式即興創作，也會創作我們自己的作品。此外，我們還將使用頌缽、鈴、琵琶和胡琴等樂器。鼓勵您攜帶自己的樂器——共鳴光譜越廣，效果越好！

|| 9週自學期

當您繼續探索自己的聲音之旅時，我們會為您提供網路上一些最有趣和重要的影片精選。這些影片將確保您在自己的練習中保持靈感，並加深您的理解。

僅提供英文——可能無法提供中文。

其他選擇：組織您自己的線上或實體聚會，彼此學習、討論影片等。

|| 第二次泛音實體工作坊

夏比安民宿（光復）2026年3月18日至21日（4天全日）

在第二次聚會期間，Mark 和他的助教將在前一次4天密集工作坊的成果以及您過去9週的個人旅程基礎上繼續深化。我們會花很多時間在技術工作上，並根據不同類型學員及其需求進行多樣化的教學。
共鳴的基礎是集中的聲音/身體工作、身心平衡練習和良好的泛音詠唱技巧。

在這四天裡，每位學員都將與 Mark 進行一對一的私人課程，以消除障礙。我們也會在小組中工作，並共同學習作品或創作新作品。這個週末結束後，您將了解自己的優勢以及前進的方向。第二個下午，學員們將合作創作最終作品，為他們的 RESONANCE 密集課程畫下圓滿句點。

|| 夏比安每日課程時間
與第一部分工作坊相同，請見上文

『關於夏比安民宿｜花蓮光復』

連續第六年，質感的夏比安民宿成為 RESONANCE 密集課程的「家」。我們很高興回到這個美好的地方。雙層樓日式庭園建築設有一間擁有落地窗的教室，可俯瞰廣闊的森林庭園。青蛙、昆蟲和鳥類的合唱是喚醒您聽覺感官的絕妙環境。主人 Peter 每天在他溫馨的咖啡角落沖泡不同風味的精品咖啡；女主人 Ping 為每位客人準備美味的自製早餐。民宿提供7間獨特設計的房間，配有舒適的大床和日式榻榻米地板。

在夏比安放鬆身心，同時享受我們的聲音共鳴工作坊體驗！

3-Day Kaohsiung Program

Fusica — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 01:42:00 +0000

In two weeks time most of our overtone singing group IUooUI goes to Kaohsiung for several days. We have a wonderful program for the South of Taiwan.

FRIDAY AUGUST 14: CONCERT

First, a relaxing concert on Friday night. The audience can sit up on a mat or lie down – there is enough space. We have put together a nice program with old and some new pieces, balancing deep sound massage (good for a powernap) and our signature vocal explorations into otherworldy vocal sounds. Still relaxing, but worthy of your full attention as we transcend ordinary human sounds and go deep (or high) into spectral colours and overtone singing.

SATURDAY AUGUST 15: WORKSHOP

On Saturday, an introduction workshop with all IUooUI members attending. This is an absolutely unique opportunity to have many skilled overtone singers to learn from, all at the same time. We will explain how things work when we sing overtones, show some possibilities and give you instruction in starting your own path to hear your voice like you never heard it before.

SUNDAY TOSA AUGUST 16: TOSA GATHERING

On Sunday, the Taiwan Overtone Singing Association holds its member meeting in the South for hte second time. We are a group of enthusiasts for neglected aspects of the human voice. Not for some obscure music per se, but for an understanding and practise that is based on the paradoxical nature of the human voice: together we travel deeper and deeper into the mysterious nature of sound, which is both factual (based on acoustics) and mind-boggling (based on our inherent inclnation to simpify the world around us into easily understandable pieces of information).

Are you interested in getting to know yourself better? In aligning yourself more with the sounds that surround you and that live inside you, that speak to you and through you? In attuning all the different aspects that make up your language, your thought, your voice, your song, your movement, and more? Pick your event in Kaohsiung and join our sonic journey!

再過兩週，我們的大部分泛音合唱團 IUooUI 成員將前往高雄，展開為期數天的行程。我們為台灣南部準備了一場精彩的演出：首先是週五晚上的輕鬆音樂會。觀眾可以坐在墊子上，也可以躺下——現場空間十分寬敞。我們精心策劃了一場融合經典與新曲的精彩節目，在深沉的聲音按摩（非常適合小憩片刻）與我們招牌式的「超凡嗓音探索」之間取得平衡。雖然氛圍輕鬆，但當我們超越普通的人類聲音，深入（或高亢）探索聲譜色彩與泛音歌唱時，這場演出仍值得您全神貫注。

週六將舉辦由所有 IUooUI 成員共同參與的入門工作坊。這絕對是難得的機會，讓您能同時向多位技藝精湛的泛音歌手學習。我們將解說泛音歌唱的運作原理，展示各種可能性，並指導您開啟屬於自己的探索之路，聆聽前所未聞的嗓音。

週日，台灣泛音歌唱協會將第二度在南部舉行會員大會。我們是一群熱衷於探索人類嗓音中被忽視面向的愛好者。我們並非單純追求某種晦澀難懂的音樂，而是致力於基於人類嗓音悖論本質的理解與實踐：我們將共同深入探索聲音的神秘本質——它既基於聲學原理而真實可證，又因我們天生傾向將周遭世界簡化為易於理解的形式，而令人難以置信。

這是一場，你可以躺著聽的音樂會 8/14音樂會・高雄心世界

躺下來，閉上眼，

讓人聲泛音的和聲，一層一層漫過你。

這是一場「深度聆聽」Deep Listening——

不只用耳朵，而是用整個身體去聽。

在放鬆與覺知之間，

聲音會像開關，慢慢打開你的身體。

國際泛音詠唱大師 Mark Van Tongeren 馬克，

與台灣第一個泛音合唱團 iuooui 漪渦魚，

帶你走一趟升級覺知的聲波之旅。

（泛音＝人聲同時唱出多層和聲的神秘共鳴）

2026 和布農族一起歌唱聲音的海洋工作坊 Ocean of Voices with the Bunun

Fusica — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:04:42 +0000

Break the wall with sounds. The world is much wider than you thought.

用聲音打破那道高牆看見比你想像更廣大的世界
聲音的海洋深入傳統，創造屬於自己的傳統，與布農族一起歌唱。

2月26日到3月2日
南投水里老五民宿

Singing a song with the males in center and the females surrounding.

‘’在五天四夜的旅程中，我們深入探索「聲音的海洋」‘’

這是馬克對人類在時間和空間中創造的音樂聲音和言語的彙編的等價詞。我們尋找來自世界各地的未知傳統，聆聽過往的經典並嘗試創作我們自己的版本。您還將學習如何自己或與他人一起即興創作一首傳統歌曲（一首催眠曲？一首祈禱曲？一首歡樂的問候歌？）。

如果您已經喜歡唱歌，並且知道自己的聲音有著如此多的色彩。但是只有其中一些色彩在日常生活中表達出來，現在我們要擴展這種創造性和聲音的潛力，一起看見自己聲音的光譜。

加入我們，一同慶祝人類聲音的力量和潛藏在其中的創造力。毫無疑問，您的祖先知道民謠、宗教聖詩、儀式詠唱：讓它們以新的形式再次浮出水面。

在我們探索的起點和亮點上，南投信義鄉明德部落的布農族非常樂意在他們每週的歌唱會上歡迎我們。您將有機會與他們近距離合唱，並從中學習他們創作複音多聲部歌曲的方式，並嘗試與他們一起合唱。這是對這座我們摯愛島嶼的許多美好傳統之一的親身沉浸，是極少數人曾經擁有的獨特機會！

與世界級的泛音詠唱大師馬克范湯可鄰共渡五天四夜，作為聲音的學習者，這是一個能與全球級的歌唱家全身心的學習的機會，感受彼此細胞的共鳴，沉浸式的教學能讓你快速提昇，並有機會在課餘時間建立與大師的良好交流，全方位的進化，在台灣本地就能做到

Ocean of Voices

Break the wall with sounds. The world is much wider than you thought.

26 February – 2 March, 2026

Shuili, Nantou, Taiwan

PROGRAM OUTLINE

In five days we dive deep into the Ocean of Sound, we uncover unknown traditions from around the globe, listen to examples and try out our own versions. You also learn how to create a traditional song (A lullaby? An invocation? A cheerful greeting song?) by yourself, or together, on the go. You already love to sing and already know your voice has so many shades. But only some of these shades find expression in everyday life, and now we expand this creative, sonic potential.

Join us for a celebration of the power of the human voice and of creative imagination lurking underneath the surface. Surely your ancestors knew folk songs, religious hymns, ceremonial chants: let them come back to the surface again, in a new guise. At the start and highlight of our exploration, the Bunun from XinYi are so kind to welcome us during their weekly singing session. You will have a chance to sing with them, up-close, and in this way you learn how they create their polyphonic songs and can try to join in with them. A first-hand immersion in one of the many living traditions of this beautiful island and a unique chance very few people have ever had!

Töne im Sturm: Singing Parallel Overtones

Fusica — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 14:34:14 +0000

About the unknown “parallel-third technique” of overtone singing

For decades I have known a technique of Western overtone singing that I heard perform only one time. Many singers use the technique on which it is based, which I call the L-technique, as their standard for singing overtones. But I suspect that this particular technique is unknown to most overtone singers. Since hearing the shimmering, glistening sound of this unique method, I practise it occasionally. Recently I notice it does not sound as clear as it used to, and so it is high time to share it with others, who then can also use it. I am now getting it back in shape again and will present this technique in a live performance as part of a longer piece, next month in my solo show In|nbalance in Potsdam. In this video I tell a bit more about it and show the technique.

I will give three workshops especially for Designing Voices in Potsdam about overtones and resonance stuffed with information and exercises about many overtone singing techniques, from various forms of Tibetan chant through Western techniques to Tuvan/Mongolian techniques.

So the technique has one clear characteristic that makes it stand out: it highlights two overtones while not sounding the overtone that is between them. This goes against the common wisdom of every practising overtone singer, which holds that you try to concentrate the sound energy in one clear, central overtone. With this little-known technique, it seems you sort of split this energy out again in two directions around one central overtone that you cannot hear. When normally you try to focus all energy on, say, overtone number 9, you now adjust your tongue so that the energy flows out to numbers 8 and 10, making both of them loud enough to be heard. A rather unusual procedure. Very characteristic is the combination of the seventh and the ninth overtones, leaving out number eight; and also nine combined with eleven (with number ten being inaudible). (For the microtonality / Just Intonation freaks and serious singers: more details about the overtone range at the bottom of this post)

For reasons I cannot fully fathom myself, I have never spoken to anybody about this technique: not with Michael Vetter, not with Borg Diem Groeneveld or with other overtone singers. Somehow it remained this special treasure all this time. It is possible others have heard it and know more: please drop me a line if you do. Since I do not know if Michael Vetter ever gave this technique a name, I need to come up with one. I usually think of it as the ‘parallel third technique’ but there can be a fourth in the low range and possibly seconds in the higher range. I find the parallel thirds the most striking element, however, so I prefer that name: the “parallel-third technique.”

Interesting detail: the storm created a special atmosphere in the church in Utrecht: this was also clearly palpable in the live broadcast itself. It was amplified by the storm we, listeners, heard at home, raging outside. This situation and the name Töne im Sturm is also very fitting for the theme of the In|nbalance program I am working on. Is it a coincidence that unusually strong winds are blowing around my place in Amsterdam for several days now, in September 2025, while I am working on this piece and this video? Every now and then the rain flies past my window almost horizontally. The wind produces ominous, low rumbles day and night; rustling sounds produced by thousands of leaves come and go in waves; and then there are the ‘ordinary’ sounds of wind, mid-range, between these high and low frequencies. Three stacked layers of sound. Just as in the parallel-third technique itself.

The radio programme that featured Michael Vetter’s concert, baptised Töne im Sturm (‘Tones in the Storm’) by the singer, was De Wandelende Tak, which mostly featured traditional music from around the world, often original recordings by musicians, ethnomusicologists and other people with special knowledge of that tradition. I was a frequent guest myself in this program with recordings from Siberia, Mongolia, Kalmykia and other places. The overtone singing concert from Vetter was characteristic of the ambiguous status of overtone singing, because it is not traditional music, like the content of nearly all other episodes of De Wandelende Tak. The concert was organised by Diem Groeneveld, a long-time Dutch student of Michael Vetter and a fine overtone singer himself. Walter Slosse was the host who interviewed Groeneveld about Vetter before and after the concert, and it was broadcast by the VPRO.

This is my recording of the radio programme, made on a cassette and later transfered to the computer. There is a silence towards the end for a short while, of which I am not sure at which stage it happened – probably during the A/D conversion.

After listening again, I conclude that Vetter’s technique was in an absolutely superb state at this point,

as can be heard in all the ‘ordinary styles’of overtone singing. The parallel technique becomes clear particularly at around 12:45, and comes back several times later.

Details about the range of overtones and their distances

For the overtone cogniscenti: the extremes on the recording of my own version are overtones ten and twelve, but I can go as high as twelve and fourteen, and as low as six and eight. Every time, the overtone in between them is not audible. Nearly all these combinations are variations of the interval of a third. The interesting thing is of course that every third is different, as the distance between the two tones grows smaller with every higher step on the harmonic scale. The H6 + H8 combination, my lowest combination, is a near-perfect fourth apart (497 cents, in case you were wondering), then next is the largest third H7 + H9 (a very large major third of 435 cents). The thirds progressively decrease their distance: the smallest and highest interval I could still sing clearly with this technique is a very small minor third of the overtones H12 + H14 (266 cents).

To hear this technique in its full splendour, come to Potsdam next month! And to learn more, I will give three workshops especially for Designing Voices in Potsdam about overtones and resonance stuffed with information and exercises about many overtone singing techniques, from various forms of Tibetan chant through Western techniques to Tuvan/Mongolian techniques. Check out all the details here.

World première In|nbalance at Designing Voices

Fusica — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 15:08:58 +0000

Since the beginning of this year I am preparing a new solo performance. I haven’t conceived of a big solo work for many years; most of my work in the last two decades was about collaborations. I am delighted to announce that I was invited by Alex Nowitz: friend, composer, performer and mastermind behind the Designing Voices Festival, to present my new work there. I was already planning a longer stay in Europe, from early September to early December, so this festival, running from 9 to 12 October 2025, was a perfect match. In the first half of 2025 I have been making design sketches, collecting all kinds of notes, and created several new pieces for the larger work.

But more about that solo piece later. First, I will give an exciting 3-day workshop Overtone Singing and Resonance at Designing Voices, which can better be booked early. So here is the info, in English and German – we will see which language we will use, both can do. The English pdf is here, and then I let Alex introduce my workshop in German.

(Start of) workshop announcement in German

Im Rahmen dessen findet ein dreitägiger Workshop von Mark van Tongeren statt:

OBERTONGESANG UND RESONANZ.

Alle weiterführenden Informationen siehe PDF im Anhang!

Mark van Tongeren kenne ich seit Ende der 1990er Jahre. Er lebt derzeit mit seiner Familie in Taipeh und reist wegen der DESIGNING VOICES 2025 nach Potsdam an! Mark ist ein Spezialist auf dem Gebiet des Obertongesangs. Ich kenne niemanden, der die unterschiedlichen Ansätze beim Obertonsingen so exzellent beherrscht wie er und sie darüber hinaus auch vermitteln kann! Mark hat alle fernasiatischen Kulturkreise besucht und die jeweiligen Gesangarten in Tuva, Tibet, Mongolei, Kasachstan, usw. studiert. Er berherrscht die meiste Kehlsangtechniken aus dem turko-mongolischen Kulturkreis: Sygyt, Kagyraa, Khöömei, usw. Aber auch, was europäische Traditionen des Obertongesangs angeht, kann er getrost als Experte bezeichnet werden. Er weiss, die Unterschiede zwischen diesen und fernasiatischen Ansätzen hör- und erfahrbar zu machen.

Mark hat einen PhD an der Uni Leiden erworben und ein Buch zum Thema veröffentlicht: “Overtone Singing – Harmonic Dimensions of the Human Voice“ (hrg. Terra Nova ). Zudem ist Mark ein wunderbarer Pädagoge und äusserst liebenswerter Mensch.

Der dreitägige Workshop gelangt zusätzlich zu einer Aschlußpräsentation in der Französischen Kirche Potsdam am 12. Okt. Dies findet ab einer Teilnehmeranzahl von mind. 5 Personen statt.

Natürlich würde es mich sehr freuen, wenn sich viele Begeisterte für den Workshop finden. Ich kann das nur jedem/er empfehlen, der/die Interesse an der Erweiterung der eigenen Stimmmöglichkeiten sowohl alleine als auch im Verbund des chorischen Klangerlebinsses hat. Spread the word!

(End of workshop announcement in German)

About my new work In|nbalance

The title of my new work is In|nbalance. It aims to bring together a wide range of vocal and instrumental techniques with questions such as: what can my voice still express when the world seems to be seriously out of balance (hence ‘imbalance‘)? What, if any, are the sounds I can make with my voice and its extensions (instrumental and electronic) that bring balance (hence ‘in balance‘)? How to find my own ‘balance’ as a performer? What new or old sounds do I want to use? And what are their effects, in a time when listening to one another in the world at large reaches a lowpoint I never experienced in my lifetime? How do I give a voice to the news about wars, climate change and other disruptions that we hear about every day? Should I – who never was good at using words in my musical language anyway – look for words to express this struggle, or keep on avoiding verbal, discursive messages altogether?

So far, many tests have been done and they go in either direction: no text <<>> lots of text. It is a new process for me because I never (except a few times, like that TED-x talk) felt an urge to ‘speak’ or to ‘sing about’ something. Now I can no longer pretend I have nothing on my mind or nothing to say: I do. I am experimenting with various methods to incorporate words and meaning – this is my biggest challenge, really. There is also plenty of new-sound-making going on: I look for ways to consolidate overtone singing skills and ideas into more rigorous pieces. Also something I have never really paid enough attention to. So even though I build on skills I posses since a long time, I am pushing myself into new directions.

As for the title itself: it must be handwritten to express the ambiguity in/im balance. I made some sketches only, and I am still searching for other ways. I am also not sure yet whether I want to go for an extreme colour scheme

or keep it more subdued.

The Festival Designing Voices

Alex Nowitz’s Designing Voices Festival is running for the fourth time now. It is a unique festival in that it puts the voice centre stage, in confrontation/extension/collaboration with old and new electronic and digital tools and instruments. A fantastic recurring tool is Alex’s Strophonion, which he developed over many years. I remember him spending weeks at the famous Amsterdam institute STEIM, at a time when its downfall began. Just in time to connect with one of the places that has been instrumental in developing and promoting musical sound generated by hand/arm gestures, since the 1970s. There is the first time I heard Alex’ perform with an earlier prototype of the Strophonion.

Designing Voices does what it says: it pushes for the voice to stretch into new directions, and it does so in a wonderful context of instrumental and electronic support, often including video works. I really can’t emphasise how happy I am with Alex’ invitation, just at a point where I had decided to come up with a full, through-developed work. Designing Voices is a fantastic platform with top performers and a critical audience. Watch this trailer of Designing Voices 2021 to see how wide the scope is (and to see the Church where I will also present my piece):

Klangsinn is the theme of this year. There are 6 concerts and 8 performances taking place. This is the full program for this year (2025) with 20 artists from around the world. Or check the link.

Afterthought: this is the third time in a few years that I present new work in Germany: 2 years ago I performed at the Ancient Trance festival in Leipzig, also in a church, and before that the German-Chinese-Mongolian composer Yang Song invited me to contribute pre-recorded throat singing and other Mongolian-related vocal styles for her new multichannel electro-acoustic work In Einem Moment, broadcast live on German radio.

【工作坊介紹】

2024 年末，TOSA 聯合創辦人兼口譯員 Sunny Chen 問我：「你怎麼做出這麼多奇怪的聲音？能不能舉辦一個工作坊教我們怎麼做？」我立刻愛上這個主意，也因此忙碌了好幾個月。

現在，我們終於選定一個下午來面對這個挑戰。這次的目標在於學習如何發出各種不同的、非同尋常的聲音──從相對簡單且無害的，到骯髒又危險的，正是那些大多數歌手畏懼嘗試的聲音。我接受這個挑戰，不僅為了能做出奇異的聲音，更希望藉此反思自己是如何做出這些聲音的。這也引發了一連串問題：究竟哪些聲音才是奇怪的？誰能真正做到？這些聲音是否具有可轉換性？是否能被解釋？會不會有風險？我知道這其中可能存在風險，所以我們只以一個下午作為起點。雖然這不足以涵蓋所有奇怪聲音的面向，但對於探索這個迷人領域來說，已經是個極好的開始。

我提到了一些靈感來源：首先是那些我曾分別認識並多次同台演出的歌手，例如牧上晃一（Koichi Makigami）、雅普‧布隆克（Jaap Blonk）、菲爾‧明頓（Phil Minton）、保羅‧達頓（Paul Dutton）以及大衛‧莫斯（David Moss，亦組成名為 Five Men Singing! 的團體），還有陳光海（Tran Quang Hai）。當然，來自圖瓦（Tyva）的 Sainkho Namchylak 也是一個光芒四射的例子，我很榮幸多次欣賞她的演出，並於最近在台北與她合作演出（Sainkho 擔任鼓手，讓我進行主唱）。去年我原本以為終於會有機會目睹那位神秘的荷蘭女神 Greetje Bijma 的絕妙表演，卻因她取消了音樂會而落空。除此之外，還有無數傳統歌手出現在數百張專輯上，提供了無窮無盡、充滿可能性的優質素材。

今天下午，我嘗試以一種較有條理的方法（如何製造奇怪聲音？第一至第四部分）來探索那些看似無系統、雜亂無章的聲音。我們經常在完成一組聲音練習（玩一玩第一至第四部分）後進行整理與回顧，讓部分聲音能夠休息，而另一些則能比團體練習時走得更深入。

【誰適合參加？】

任何對用聲音探索新可能感到好奇的人。
最少8人，最多16人

【需要準備什麼？】

你的聲音。持久力。探索的意願。
以及在發現過頭時，能夠停下來的覺察力與意願。

【語言】

英文以及中文即席翻譯

【帶領者介紹】

1992 年起，以及整個 1990 年代期間，Mark van Tongeren 開始以音樂即興演奏者與「拼貼創作者」（bricoleur）的身份，在物件劇場中進行表演。到了 2000 年代，他轉向各種音樂即興形式，與 Fred Frith、牧上晃一（Koichi Makigami）、馬友友（Yo-Yo Ma）及 Oorbeek 等音樂人合作。2010 年代，他與舞蹈的合作愈加頻繁，也讓身體表演在自身的作品中扮演更重要的角色。進入 2020 年代，他多元融合的風格已日漸跨越音樂、文化與學科的邊界。
在台灣，他與原住民、在地與外國藝術家共同演出，並帶領實驗聲音團體漪渦魚 IUooUI。他每週在台北帶領的「聲音瑜伽」課程，也是一種引導式、直覺性的即興聲音練習。

STRANGE SOUNDS
Explore the boundaries of your voice

PROGRAM IN SHORT

For decades Mark van Tongeren explored hundreds of vocal techniques, sounds and noises, from which he freely picks during his performances and classes where he improvises. How does he do it? Finally there is an opportunity to broaden your vocal ability in unforeseen directions with a first class voice expert. From lyrical to hysterical. From animal to extra-terrestrial. From neo-classical to ……………………….. ( n e a r l y i n a u d i b l e ! ). From physical to spiritual. Mark does not like to set any limits to what his voice can do. Join him to find out how far you can go.
WARNING: some exercices may cause voice damage for some people. Be alert and take responsibility at all times, then you will be fine!

This workshop is hybrid: you can join in person or online. We will announce the online conditions after a week. Signing up is only in-person now. We will use a microphone but no amplification. If you do not want to be visible you can choose a spot outside the video frame.

FULL DESCRIPTION

Late 2024 TOSA co-founder and interpreter Sunny Chen asked me: how do you make all these strange sounds? Can’t you give a workshop showing us how to do them? I immediately loved the idea and it kept me busy all these months. Now finally we picked an afternoon to tackle this problem. The goal will be to learn how to make a number of unusual, strange sounds. From the relatively easy and harmless down to the dirty and dangerous: the things that most singers shy away from. I pick up this challenge to not only make strange sounds, but also to reflect upon how I make them. And this will lead to questions such as: which sounds are strange? Who can actually make them? Are they transferrable? Explainable? Is this going to be risky? I am aware that it may be, so we start with just a single afternoon. Never enough to cover a substantial of strange sounds, but great as a start to map this fascinating area.

I mention a few inspirations: first of all the vocalists that I met separately, and in quite a few cases performed with: Koichi Makigami, Jaap Blonk, Phil Minton, Paul Dutton and David Moss (who also assemble as a group called Five Men Singing!), and Tran Quang Hai. Of course, Sainkho Namchylak from Tyva is a shining example I have had the pleasure of witnessing many times, and perform with in Taipei recently (Sainkho taking to the drumkit and letting me do the vocals). Last year I thought I would finally have a chance to witness our elusive, Dutch diva extraordinary, Greetje Bijma – but she cancelled the concert. Then there are numerous traditional singers on hundreds of albums: it’s some of the best stuff with endless possibilities.

This afternoon I try to present a sort of orderly way (How to make a Strange Sound? Part 1-4) to approach what is really without system or order. We frequently take stock after going through a set of sounds (Playing Around Part 1-4), allowing some voices to rest and others to go deeper than we can go as a group.

FOR WHOM?
Anyone curious to make new sounds with the voice.
The maximum is 10 people on-site. More people can join online, we will announce the details within a week.

WHAT YOU NEED
Your voice. Stamina. Willingness to explore.
Readyness to stop when you go too far.
–
Please bring a drink or snack for the break-time.

LANGUAGES
English + Chinese

YOUR TEACHER
In 1992 and throughout the 1990s, Mark van Tongeren began performing as a musical improviser and bricoleur in object-theatre. In the 2000s he switched to all kinds of musical improv, playing with the likes of Fred Frith, Koichi Makigami, Yo-Yo Ma and Oorbeek. The 2010s saw more dance collaborations and also a greater role for the performing body in his own work. In the 2020s, his polystylistic approach transcends musical, cultural and disciplinary borders ever more. In Taiwan, he performs with indigenous, Taiwanese and foreign artists and leads his vocal experimental group IUooUI. His weekly Voice Yoga class in Taipei is a guided, intuitive improv-session of sorts.

SUPPORTING TEAM & CONTACT
This workshop is also brought to you by interpreter and co-organiser Sunny Chen, who interprets for sound workshops and is inspired by sound to continue the exploration; by administrative assistant Hsi-Yin Chang, who is a sound healing practitioner and also creates music.
