Great job! It took me a long time to stop following my lips with my voice when I was first learning to use overtones. Creating that third tone for the first time was a thrill.
certain fingerings mixed with a shape of the mouth (on any wind, particularly woodwinds) allows two pitches to simultaneously speak. it takes a heck of a lot of talent to even accomplish this, but to have this kind of ability is GREAT!
You are just humming and playing at the same time. It sounds simple, when you hum with your mouth open in order to play the horn, your lips change, so it's hard to pitch the notes.
The way I learned it was first I sang random notes and playing at the same time, to learn what it felt like. then move on and play something from G below the staff up to middle C, and sing a fifth above that note (ex. play G, sing D). In my opinion, fifths are the most comfortable. After that, move the note you're singing up and down in a scale like pattern, to train your ear and your voice.
I play FH, just singing the higher note of both, while playing the bass one. If you listen carefully, you will notice higher note sounds "singed".
It is not so difficoult, but it needs practice and affination. After all, sound is made by lips vibrating against mouthpiece and reverberating through the whole horn, you yet have your throat free to sing!
Hi, I'm a tuba player.. It's really not as hard as it seems. Maybe it's easier on tuba, but you just hum as you play the note. It's crazy how your lips remain in the same tension when you hum other notes. It's so fun to do! I like doing 5ths and minor 3rds.
It might be a little harder on the horn, given the much smaller mouthpiece. For some players, adjusting to the vibration conflict in the embouchure requires a good bit of practice. The good and balanced tone this fellow achieved also benefited from a good acoustical setup. His results are excellent.
one word...amazing!

Holy Crap! That is some good multiphonics on the horn. I've tried but I never get anything to sound good.

You hum in the back of your throat while you play a note, if you want to try on a french horn I recommend low low G (1 3)

This is unbelievably good range for a multiphonics player.

its very uncommen to see a music peace for a french horn with multiphonics

It's uncommon for any wind instrument. There are a few classical pieces for horn that have them. Weber's Concertino in particular.

fifths are ok, but fourths and 3rds sound better.
