| ===== Harmony ===== | ===== Harmony ===== | ||
| - | Having multiple sound chambers one one ocarina that play at the same time allows for harmony to be built into the instrument. This principle also brings up some unusual problems with the interface, that have been solved in unusual ways. See [[ocarina# | + | A harmony ocarina is an ocarina that has multiple chambers that are intended to be played at the same time. Instruments that have separate windways, allowing for each chamber to be voiced independently, |
| ====Huacas ==== | ====Huacas ==== | ||
| + | The huaca is a type of harmony ocarina, typically with 3 or 4 chambers invented by Sharon Rowell. Unlike other chamber harmony ocarinas the huaca is typically intended to be played with continuous harmony between the chambers and have the windway combined and not separated as can be found on other multi-chamber ocarinas. Huacas typically have two medium and/or high pitched chambers played with the front fingers and a lower pitched chamber played with the thumbs and sometimes by the palms and forearms. Tunings of the front chambers can be chromatic (like a 4 hole pendant but using the 4 fingers of one hand each) or pentatonic. Tunings of the lowest chamber are generally limited to under a full octave. The chambers are typically tuned in harmony to one another but may also be in octaves or in unison. Many makers have adopted making huacas inspired by the instruments of Sharon Rowell and the instrument is generally considered a type of harmony ocarina. | ||
| ====Interference Ocarina==== | ====Interference Ocarina==== | ||
| + | This instrument is similar to the Huaca but it does not have predefined pitch locations and is able to do pitch bends between the chambers. This allows the instrument to produce [[Interference]]. | ||
| ===== Unusual Materials ===== | ===== Unusual Materials ===== | ||
| + | Ocarinas are most commonly made out of ceramics and plastic on cheaper models. Most other materials have an exotic quality to them and are often paired with other unusual aesthetic alterations. | ||
