Unlike sygyt, he doesn't use the laryngeal techniques that the central Asian singers use. While Miles sang his overtones quite nicely, he was hardly a "throat-singing master." Still a wonderful example of the genre, and the earliest known recording of overtone singing, predating the earliest known recordings from Tuva or Mongolia.

It's hard to believe that there's still bits and pieces of information on Miles. Thank goodness it's out there. Great show. Keep up the good work! That’s fantastic.
