Buddhist monks can sing two notes at the same time. Their Mantras has been like that for centuries. Its a vocal cord technique. The difficult part is to actually sing the two at a decent volume just like monks do.
it done by singing high note and make low note with just lips. The microphone at the throat just removes extra noise of the lips. If you try you will get it, hard part to keep note and intervals with lips. Bobby is magician :-)
YouTube won't allow me to post the direct links for you, but if you do a search using the tag words "Throat and/or Overtone Singing" you'll find information on the vocal techniques he uses.
Try wikipedia (dot) org. You can find the answer to almost any question there. ;)
its basicly yodeling hes not actually singing all 4 tracks at once. he plays 2 technicaly the drums are always going on his chest giving his voice that quirky sound and making the transition from bass to rythem to singing easier. im not saying its easy, but by doing diffrent parts without break it sounds like hes playing them all at once ;) beat box!
i could be wrong but this is how i know how to do it..i play trumpet so i buzz the root of whatever with my lips then i hum whatever harmony above it..kinda look like thats what he does too
haha funny, I play trumpet too. what you're talking about would get somewhat of the same effect, but its no where near as difficult as what bobby is doing here, a completely different technique
i think it's very interesting how the audience reaction for when bobby hummed the harmony (singing two notes at once! which is insane!) the first time was a little weak but if you watch another drive video from when he was in montreal, the audience went nuts lol!
2:33 the harmony he gets with his throat and mouth was the gateway to a third dimension. too bad we all missed it.

@pklukepk what do you mean? obviously he's synchronizing two different vibrations in his vocal chords
