A couple of weeks ago, Michael Giacchino came to Switzerland and did a
"Star Trek - Live to Projection" concert. Basically they played the
Star Trek (2009) movie, but instead of the music coming from the
soundtrack, it was played live by orchestra.

Unfortunately, I did not go to this (even though it's not too far from
me). I'm told however that after the end credits, he performed a
selection of songs from the upcoming movie (which may or may not have
included the Kronos Wartet song). However, there was a choir there,
and they sung the chorus to whatever songs they performed. So I
suspect the Klingon chorus is not generated noise, but is singable by
a real choir. However, I think the lyrics must also look like "KKHOI
KAY-LESS POOK-LOAD KKHOI POOK-BEH POO-OO", etc., because it would've
been too much trouble to coach an entire choir on proper
pronunciation. So it's likely we won't be able to reconstruct this
from their singing.
