Nice circular breathing :)

Wow, not a big fan of the music itself but you're amazing! I'm curious how Denisov notates that strange tone and slight pitch changes around 2:45. And what are you doing at 2:35? Sorry, just curious :)

i think it's the half sharp or flat sign

but idk

@TheSaxyBandGeek at around 2:45 he's doing alternate fingerings to make the pitch do that and at 2:35 he's flutter tounging.

@TheSaxyBandGeek And notation is by using quarter tones instead of normal intervals. Search it on the internet for more information.

Hey there: that's a quarter-tone fingering, in between half steps. Fun stuff.
