Well...If you sing another note you can get 2 or 3 notes at the same time e.g. James Morrison on trombone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEXCBYuInnQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEXCBYuInnQ
p.s. Coltrane playing 2 notes at once on saxophone, several times, in this Round Midnight solo from 1960. I've never heard him doing it apart from this solo, no idea why not, sounds awesome! https://youtu.be/eXJ31iveJbw?t=233 https://youtu.be/eXJ31iveJbw?t=233
Roland Kirk is just cheating here, playing 3 saxophones at once. /s https://youtu.be/ZIqLJmlQQNM?t=101 https://youtu.be/ZIqLJmlQQNM?t=101

I used to be able to whistle 2 notes at once and sing a 3rd, but haven't tried in years as it sounds so silly hehe. I had an idea for getting a choir all doing that...
- jacquesm 5y agoThanks for your comments in this thread (ex sax player here). You probably are already aware of this but on the off chance that you are not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC9Qh709gas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC9Qh709gas
- yesenadam 5y agoThank you! I think I watched that video years ago (Anna-Maria Hefele's overtone singing) but forgot all about it, thanks for reminding me, I checked out more of her music just now. She's pretty amazing huh!
- jacquesm 5y agoMindblowing, really. There is that famous Fifth Element song, which is faked to some degree, if I had to name one example of alien music this one would definitely set the standard. It sounds otherworldly.
