The song is called Fnugg, an original Composition by the performer in this video, Øystein Baadsvik

@@Bladavia Baadsvik plays the bottom notes (stems down) and sings through the tuba the top notes. Having played multiphonics before, the farther away the two notes are, the easier it is to play. In this specific composition, Baadsvik plays a Bb2 and also sings a Bb2 to start the song, and it is truly something else. If you want to check out more Baadsvik, he has a whole TEDx Talk where he talks about the Tuba Virtuosity and plays the entirety of Fnugg as well as Czardas.

I thought Fnugg was the style of playing.

It was so smart of how the song introduces the two notes slowly separating to let the audience notice what the player is doing

Because of how the tuba resonated with the harmonics, it reminded me a lot of the timbre of a didgeridoo

If I understand playing tuba correctly, what he's doing is exactly how you get similar two-note chords on a didge, so it shouldn't be a surprise that some tubes resonating sound similar.

I can just about manage to do multiphonics on my euph and even on a trumpet, just playing octaves. But getting different intervals while playing is SO difficult. Oystein is an incredible performer.

This sounds more like a didgeridoo than throat singing where they create overtones in the sinus cavities.

It feels so good when you do this on a didgeridoo and you feel the soundwaves slowly perfectly overlapping harmonically.

I played with Baadsvik at a tuba convention at the University of Iowa. One of the most fun gigs I have ever had. We played a piece about his cat Felicia. I didn’t realize how important of a guy I was playing with until after when I was talking with my tuba friends. Great guy too, treats you like you are the most important musician on the gig.

@Eskil Wehus I am not! This was on his US tour in ... fall 2018 I think?

I remember discovering Øystein Baadsvik, changed the way I thought about music really, multiphonics were so challenging and cool to learn, and I cannot stress how difficult it is to do on a tuba, he’s octaving AND harmonizing in rapid succession and later in this exact solo he beat boxes

Get this man on the Dune 2 soundtrack

Multiphonics on every instrument is fascinating, my personal favorite to do is on the baritone saxophone.

I like that the eyebrows and where it fully engages the Mongolian funk are notated. Very important.

Love a classic tuba example of tuba multiphonics. Don't see that often. Now Nat McIntosh on Sousaphone, that man can multiphonic

I learned how to do this after stumbling on this video in the 2008-2010 era while I was in marching band playing tuba. I got pretty decent at it and would show it off always. This dude truly was a huge inspiration for me as a young man trying to find his way.

I figured out how to do this on my trombone a while ago from messing around and so far I was able to get 3 distinct notes at the same time which my band director confirmed, although it's much easier to do 2 notes which I can do casually but I have to focus a little to get 3 notes and I'm trying to figure out how to do 4 🤔

“Can you play your B flat scale sir?” “Certainly!” *proceeds to play every single note at once*

dont wanna pull a 🥸 but this is just multiphonics, a technique where you sing while playing to harmonize with yourself. i actually bought the official sheet music and he claimed to be inspired by rock, jazz and the digeridoo. the beatbox section is my favorite since beatboxing into your instrument is common in flute and tuba and it produces a cool sound.

@@C4pt41nN3m0 Oh, I should've been more specific perhaps. I think you maybe are referring to "growls" or the throaty voice that's also heavily used in metal music? Which absolutely is possible yeah I agree. What I was referring to is the modulation of overtones within the shape of the mouth that is accompanied with that in Mongolian throat singing that creates the distinctive sound of having "multiple notes" going at the same time. Hence it also being called "overtone singing". (I should note this isn't the case for all types of throat singing, nor is it unique to Mongolian throat singing) That part isn't possible I think, because that relies on the produced sound going through the mouth in order to be modulated, amplifying some frequencies while attenuating others. It kind of functions like a frequency filter or EQ on the sound coming from the vocal cords. That's why you want either a fairly tight and constricted vocal sound, or do the raspy voice with false vocal cord flaps, since that gives you more frequency content in the sound to work with, so you get stronger overtones. But in brass and reed instruments the sound only happens after it exits the mouth (or at the lips, in the case of brass), so the mouth shape does very little to the sound in the same way you can with overtone singing (it does a little bit, but you can't do the whole modulating thing I just talked about). You would have to have some way to change the shape of the instrument itself (including the aperture size) in order to get that kind of funky stuff to happen, which might actually be an interesting experimental instrument to design now that I think of it...

@@C4pt41nN3m0 Yeah sorry, that's something I gotta see/hear to believe really, because I'm not sure if that's possible. Since overtone polyphonic singing is really dependent on embouchure to be correct (mostly aperture size though) otherwise it just doesn't sound out. Not to my experience with doing both kargyraa and sygyt throat singing, and not what I've seen other Mongolian/Tuvan/Altai/etc throat singers seen do either, when they perform it with strong sounding overtones. Would love to be proven wrong however, because that does sound pretty cool, but I wonder what's really happening there.

I’m ready to sack some villages!

Ahh yes, Fnugg is by far one of my personal favorites

baadsvik needs to get into some weird hippie festivals. those crowds would lose it for a performance like this

got to watch him play in person once baadsvik is amazing

Imagine that on a viking era with some mushrooms and lots of hidromel, people get crazy

It sounds like he's throat singing and playing tuba at the same time, super impressive

The new Dune soundtrack sounds great!

Also sometimes because of the harmonics and stuff if you play certain maj 3rds on the tuba the 5th also sounds so you can get a lovely major chord :)

Øystein Baadsvik has been performing this song for so many years. I saw him perform it in Tyler, TX about 16 years ago when I was a younger lad. Another fantastic tuba player is Patrick Sheridan.

Not quite to this level, but I learned how to do this back when I was playing. Fnugg was the goal - never quite made it 😅

Played this for my Junior recital, and boy is it a fun one!

Mongolians singing regularly: Just noticed that was in the transcription but seriously, if you had a guitar in the background doing the same thing with some crazy drums, it'd sound just like The Hu

Baadsvik my king 😍
