The founder of the harmonic chant with his >group, the Harmonic Choir, Hykes was the first Western artist to study >and spread awareness of the Tibetan, Tuvan and Mongolian styles of chant >often called ?throat-singing,? in which a singer produces both a >fundamental note and soaring harmonics from the note?s harmonic series. >(Harmonics, or overtones, are to musical sound what the pure colors of >the spectrum are to light.) > >Hykes will present a concert program of his works for harmonic chant, >accompanied by percussionist Robert Mann, followed by a participatory >workshop, ?harmonic source teachings,? devoted to this contemplative >chant practice he has developed over the past 22 years. The harmonic >chant combines innovative use of the monophonic and polyphonic resources >of Western chant with an original approach to the vibratory mathematics >of vocal harmonics, taken as ?the DNA of melody, harmony and rhythm. > >Hykes and his group, the Harmonic Choir, were Artists-in-Residence at >the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York for ten years, where >he participated in the first-ever joint concerts with the Gyuto and >Gyume monks.

Invited to France by the French Ministry of Culture in >1987, Hykes has worked with theater director Peter Brook and founded an >international music center, near Paris.
