    @MrLiqouricestick I believe that the slap tonguing is not produced on every note because he uses that particular technique to emulate the tonal characteristics of the left hand pizzicato that a violinist would use when performing this piece, which is not used on every note.

    • @jacobbass6226
      @jacobbass6226 4 года назад +1

      Yeah. It’s only used in the notes that the violin uses pizz on. It’s a great soloistic way to emulate the difference of tones and struck notes.

    that was incredible. Shredding in the altissimo range and making it look easy. And very quick slap tonguing. Not to mention the humming multiphonics were very interesting. I am going to try to work this up on my free time. I am curious if he based this off of the violin sheet music (using humming/singing multiphonics at the multinote part) or just made his own version.

    Growling on saxophone is achieved by singing a harmony note into the horn while playing another. It seems that is exactly what Raaf is doing. He's just doing it in a much more controlled manner. At one point, he sings in octaves which mutes some of the frequencies of the played pitch. Another time he plays softly enough where the actual vocalizations are audible in addition to the grind produced from the sounding of 2 notes. Both of these techniques reduce the harshness of a typical growl

    @BereftlyObsequious he may not be physically growling, but he's definitely singing, which is the same physical function as growling minus the harshness (voice+air=the desired sound). Multiphonics are performed with fingerings, not the voice (like would be done on a brass instrument). Also, I'm pretty sure dispute over a technique on one of the thousands of instruments in the world does not mean anybody doesn't "know anything about music", to use your words

    Davvero notevole, sopattutto per quanto riguarda la tecnica dei sovracuti. Ottimo anche lo slap...forse manca un pò di spessore del suono? Non che questo sia un pezzo estremamente espressivo, è un capriccio di Paganini, ma se soltanto riuscisse a rendere il suono più vibrante, più...violinistico, allora sarebbe davvero magnifico, anzi, sarebbe un capolavoro. Ma d'altronde, se vuoi fare un pezzo del genere, non puoi usare un ancia da 4 e mezzo...a parte questo, fantastico video!

    @altosax314 No sir, Raaf plays a one of a kind horn with additional tone holes drilled to create microtones and additional overtones. It has nothing to do with his voicings. Those "trained" players don't know what THIS guy is doing. A growl is a growl, and this isn't a growl. He is using multiphonics and microtones to make that sounds, he is NOT vocalizing into the horn. Sorry.

      did you even listen to him playing? it is extremely obvious that it is a voice making those tones. the lowest tone in the multiphonic sections actually goes down to what would be a low g below the staff, which is not achievable on an alto saxophone, even with added tone holes.

      I wouldn’t call the technique growling, though they do stem from the same premise. Growling, like in jazz, is done by humming an incoherent note into the saxophone. That note is usually the same sound as the sound you make when grunting. Vocalized multiphonics; however, are when singing an intended note into the saxophone. The two sound sooo similar, but they require COMPLETELY different oral cavity and embouchure shape to do properly.
