- @jazzbassoonpaul is a mad scientist musician. He put a microphonic pickup in his bassoon, hooked it up to the Line 6 Helix LT, and started shredding, looping, and making multiphonic sounds.
Awesome stuff.

The closeup on the thumb keys was very educational!!!
I'm glad you thought so because I had a hard time capturing it.
William Shakespeare catte was fascinated! Paul’s command of the instrument (and of circular breathing) is astonishing to watch. He can make his bassoon do absolutely anything. Thank you so much Paul!!!💙💙💙
This is fantastic Paul- you've taken bassoon to a whole new level and I'm so in awe of your talent! Keep on sharing your talent with us!
I love Paul’s playing and musicianship. I have a DVD of him playing with Bella Flick and every bassoon player (student or pro) that came into my Woodwind shop always got to hear and earful of Paul playing jazz on the bassoon. He inspires them to expand the possibilities of this amazing instrument. I like the way he makes looping look so easy. LOL!!!
Wow. Just wow. Thank you for showing this. Jawdroppers!!
I like his style and way of thinking, the man is a Genius!
Absolutely Brilliant. Many Thank you's.
Brilliant.
That was a fun watch. Sweet Bassoon Shredding dude! There was a band rolling around the Pacific NW 92-95 or so called Diamond Fist Werny I think, that had no bassist but amplified heavily-effected bassoon and played pretty heavy rock/grunge. They used it for alot of drones but he cut loose every now and then. You play better for sure.
Beautiful 👌
Love it! I love all of Paul's releases but good grief his 2008 album Frolic in the Land of Plenty is a masterpiece. Also features my drumming hero Dennis Chambers.
Working on a pretty serious follow up to that… can’t say much more
@@jazzbassoonpaul Music to my ears, thanks for the update Paul.
What a great sound, and wonderful playing to boot!
Check out this song we did together with Morgan Ågren and Michael Manring. ua-cam.com/video/4tBDWHRv-SQ/v-deo.html
incredible
Agreed, Matthew
Maestro!!!!
Great!
🤘🏽very, very cool🤘🏽13 thumbs keys??? Holy coordination batman!?
I've been listening for Zenith Patrol's "VU" for a few years now
I knew those sounds reminded me of something, phenomenal player 🤯
Yep!
check out his performance with Bela Fleck at the Quick
That's how I heard of Paul. Thanks, Frank
This is incredible! My son play bassoon and I’m hoping this inspires some experimentation.
Does anyone know what kind of mic is being used? I’ve seen people modify their bocal but this mic looks like it’s clipped to the body.
I think I did a video about all the gear he uses. If he didn't mention it specifically, you can contact Paul pretty easily on social media
I can imagine that a solo looping version of Zappa's _Imaginary Diseases_ would sound pretty nifty! :)
Oh that would be cool!
I can't even imagine doing these things with a bassoon. I had one with me for a few months, even being a pro cellist, a decent flutist and sax player... It's just too complicated. All those non sequential thumb keys, flicking notes... Beautiful instrument nontheless
Frank Zappa said that the alto bassoon was the hardest instrument to play. I'm still stuck on the triangle.
There’s no such instrument as an alto bassoon. Frank meant bassoon I’m pretty sure
Come on bro don't misquote Zappa, especially with that avatar 🤦🏻♂
@@jazzbassoonpaul it's non standard but exists, similar to the octave bassoon or tenoroon. Musicians seem to be less inventive with (acoustic) instruments nowadays, might be related to the invention of electronic effects and synths
@@ericoschmitt there’s a quart bassoon and a quint bassoon but these are very seldom found. Frank Zappa over the bassoon-he said so. I never ever heard anyone mention an “alto”bassoon.
@910cadillacredd a distant cousin to bassoon. If someone asks me-I’ll tell when the two instruments split off from each other-in the 1500s. The two instruments are completely different from each other-totally different fingering systems and bores. No-there’s no commonly other sizes of bassoons like there are of saxophones. The tenoroon, quint and quart bassoons are more historical bassoons more or less. A few exist that you will find at an IDRS show here and there. I’m Germany there are kinder bassoons for small children to learn; that’s more common than any other variant.
