Making Music BUT Every Sound is My Voice

Making a beat but every single sound is made with my mouth. What could possibly go wrong??

[DPDK]

The human whistle - the one produced by blowing air through pursed lips (as apposed to through the teeth) creates a nearly perfect sine wave with little to no embedded harmonic frequencies unless it's a "breathy" whistle. When you pitch shift more complex wave forms, the low or high harmonics become more prominent depending on the direction of the shift. A pitch shifted pure sine wave doesn't do this so shifting a whistle down creates a very warm, bass tone with no high frequency overtones. Most male voices unless very carefully controlled, produce almost a saw waveform. When reproduced electronically, especially digitally, this wave form becomes loaded with harmonics that can sound really strange when pitch shifted. Pitch up, sounds like chipmunks, while shifting down can sound like a poorly tuned diesel engine. This is why your whistle made a better bass than your voice.

Why didn't you stick with the wet snare :(

I did this once for an actual song I was working on, I couldn't find the right snare, I spent literally hours searching for the right sound.. Ended up just making it myself and it couldn't have been better.

If I listened to this song without knowing it was made with just your mouth, I would have no idea it was made that way

So basically this is beatboxing/acapella but with extra steps?

"shaker shaker shaker" ffs levi

[cbbk]

He should have called this: how to beat box when you can't beat box

6:44 Sound my pc makes when I use it for 5 minutes

[AskmMusic]

This is essentially just my singing monsters

Two ideas for videos:
1. Create a music track using only sounds from asmr videos
2. Create a music track using only nature sounds, like rain drops, water splashes, bird tweets, rustling of leaves, and also do not change them too much in the track that the sounds become completely unrecognizable.
I hope you do this :)
Personally I like the second one more, but would love it if you did both.

If Levi makes this beat with synths, that beat will be dope.

Friend: "so what's your favorite kind of music?"
Me: "umm... mouth?"

--sound design--

✅ *making music with mouth*

[takenbydelta]

This sounds like a videogame music, like in a scary town or something

[Tombys]

The melody reminds me a bit of luigis mansion

[juliang]

video of levi making fart noises with his mouth for 17 minutes

[noahmckinney]

“Ugh that is ugly, just sounds like my mouth!”😂😂😂 well.... yes lol

[jonfundy]

This was definitely a really unique challenge, you did a really good job with this one.

Now make a beat with only white noise.

EDIT: I wasn’t expecting this much likes, ;-;

[aredbecerra]

As a beatboxer watching this vid was painfully hilarious lmao. Been waiting for an upload like and was not disappointed in the slightest

10:14 it's because of the shape of your mouth. you whistle a sound very close to a sine wave
