The concert in Sweden was one of my first introductions into multiphonics. Because of it, I am now studying more advanced methods of multiphonics through studies of Albert Manglesdorff! It is absolutely amazing and I can bet more people on my campus now know more about multiphonics because of me!
I’ve learned multiphonics on nearly all of my brass instruments and voice, now I’m moving on to my woodwind instruments. This was all started by you, thank you Øystein Baadsvik.
Wish I had this video a few years ago! Fnugg was one of the three pieces I played for my music scholarship audition. I was happy with the multiphonics but the rest ended up a mess.
Everytime i here frugg i want to get a tuba more. I have played multiphonics on recorder ever since i figured out i could somewhere in the eighties. And then, in the nineties i picked up a bit of didgeridoo where that is used all the time. Such great fun
This is wonderful - it’s so nice - like a conversation! Thank you for reminding us to have FUN playing our instrument (not like your teacher who told you to ‘never do that again!’) 🤣 So many of my students get tense and serious in lessons - they’re so afraid they’re going to make a mistake. This is when I try to remind them it’s called “playing”. When we remember to “play“, not only is it more fun, but more often times than not breakthroughs happen, and progress is rapid. You are a gift to the world and we love you for it!
For work I do physics experiments on small electromagnetic systems. To understand my experiment, I need to come up with ways of thinking about my system as being made of oscillators interacting with one another. I used to play tuba many years ago, and I recently (~ 2 years ago) felt motivated to pick it up again. Experimenting with multiphonics (including detuned multiphonics), inspired especially by Fnugg, I find it deeply entertaining to think of my body and the tuba and two interacting oscillators. The analogy to the mathematics runs very deep, including that it seems when playing multiphonics on a tuba, it is not simply that your voice affects the tone of the tuba, but also the tuba fights back and affects the tone of your voice. Valve positions of the tuba can even affect which pitches of the voice are simply out of reach. The tuba player (tubist?) truly becomes one with the tuba. So great to see from your work that if I keep experimenting with how to make a tuba sound not like a tuba, I may come out the other side and make something that does not sound like a tuba but does sounds very musical.
I may be only a high school freshman but I have neen trying to play this and just found this video so thank you for this and I'm going to finish being able to play this I hope.
13 years of curiosity answered in a single video. Thanks 🙏
You bet!

Now you can get the rest to sound the way it should!

The day I came across the video of you playing it I was fascinated and wanted to play it but didn’t know how. Now I will try again, you are amazing!
Have fun!
Im so happy you posted again! I’ve been watching any videos I could find on you for around 4 years now!

Thanks Donna. Miss you!

Good luck Garett!
Просто изумительно! Потрясающе! Как же я люблю вашу технику - битбокс на тубе! :)
So many questions answered in one video thanks
the 'Lip Beat' is very reminiscent of the Blue Man group sound or PVC pipe slap
I'm actually learning this piece for a concert in december and this video helps me a lot ! Thanks Mr Baadsvik🙏
This song is of almost of holy decent between the tubas at my school. Thank u for this
Sou um tubista iniciante fiquei admirado em que se pode fazer com este instrumento sou apaixonado por este instrumento
I only know of one other person who can do multiphonics as precise as you and that James Morrison.
You should definitely check out nat McIntosh from youngblood brass band, hes really good too
What interval do you sing for the rock beat section?
Watch the tutorial
Thank you so much for the tips! =D Hoping to Fnugg early 2025
この曲大好きです！！
I long for you！！
this dudes eyes stare into your soul
He instills tuba skills into every person he gazed at
Woohooo!!
He switched from his Hellenberg?
This is the good old Helleberg
Show 👏 👏 👏
Vocal temperament. New millennium band instrument!!!!😂😂😂😂
I tried doing this on my trombone but it takes time to actually get the sound out
Several trombone players do this piece so keep on practicing!
@Øystein Baadsvik wait it's possible on trombone?
Would I need a bass trombone for lower notes because my lower range isn't as clear.
the accoustic B-box!
