Beginner recording Practicing flutter tongue - misty

[6182]

My next practice - will be growling all the way through the blue danube

And the title will be "Blew Danube" perhaps 😀
Don't forget to wear a snorkel and facemask.
It's 2,860 kms long and flows through 10 countries so you might need a plentiful supply of cough drops.

...or tap your head while rubbing your tummy?

That one is easy!

My next practice - will be growling all the way through the blue danube

I look forward to that. I can't growl for very long and i'd like some tips.

Here's an example of PT growling underwater.
Okay, he doesn't pat his head and rub his tummy, and it's probably not the Danube, maybe somewhere in the nautical deeps off the coast of Sarfampton. Just goes to show - It can be done.
With regards the Blue Danube - if it was me, to save breath I wouldn't come in growling until after the intro.

growling tip - practice humming all the way through a tune, with your mouth closed and sending the noise out through your nose, while exhaling out of your nose. Then focus on controlling your lungs while they deflate slowly and for a longer period. So you need to grab a lot more air and pump your lungs up, and control them better, to be able to hold a longer growl.

I'm so sorry.. I didn't know Blue Danube - until I looked for it on YouTube of course! Anyway, this made me smile and think of @Jeanette !

When you recognised it from 2001?
Which is what I associate it with ever since seeing that, before then it was just 'some tune'.

Obviously not born in 1947 and didn't get a Sooty and Sweep xylophone for Christmas in 1952

Yes, I must admit that many of my posts are flippant, tongue in cheek and intentionally very, very silly.
With regards effects: The growl and the flutter tongue are effects that a wind player can use to enhance performance.
As well as multiphonics, scoops, squeaks and farts, lying on the stage and honking whilst squirming about wearing ladies lingerie etc.
When used all the time they're no longer effects. I've done all of the above and more and found it to be far more entertaining for the audience both visually and aurally when used in moderation.
To my mind there needs to be a contrast - otherwise outrageous becomes the norm and is no longer outrageous.
Oh dear it's getting late my dog wants to go out walkies. I was going to refer to early live recordings by the Ornette Coleman quartet in Stockholm.

An unrehearsed microsecond of flutter in SOTM at 3:03

Who'da thought it?

 

[6182]

What ever.

When i stop playing the sax, i’ll use it as a spitoon.

 

[Keep Blowing]

A strange reply

 

[6182]

Nothing strange about that.

The number of hours practice and spit i’ve put into my sax over the last 4 yrs.

When i finally hang up my sax, i’ve got to find some use for it.

Got to keep the sax spit levels up in the sax.
