@JupiterIV many notes have several possible fingerings. some of these fingerings have multiphonics, if played in a certain way. The melody here has quarters (beats) and eights (half-beats), and it places most multiphonics on the quarters, so it sounds almost like all notes are harmonized, though most aren't. take the first 6 notes (g-f-e, e-d-c): the E with the C a major 3rd below that you hear, is easily produced if you use a low c fingering and blow hard enough to reach the 4th overtone>>>
@JupiterIV the C that you hear with an E a minor 6th below is created easily if you use an E fingering minus your left finger. the D with the G a fifth below, is easily produced if you use a G fingering and blow hard enough (but not too hard) to get to the 3rd overtone. Generally, if you use two blowing strengths (with matching embouchures) fast enough one after the other at the same blow, the two notes will follow each other so fast, that they will sound almost simultaneous, like in this video.
To all those asking how to do this - I'm no expert, but I have done a (little) work on harmonics. Try this... use the fingering for low C and "overblow" by varying amounts. Without moving your fingers, you can play several different notes at once - start out by playing Taps (all while fingering the low C). You will hear multiple tones "under" the note you are playing. What this guy does is simply amazing - I couldn't even begin to guess how much work it takes to get these techniques down!
At one point it sounded like a couple of birds chirping together! Fabulous work! Great technique! Perhaps you can post some lessons like Nina Perlov does on youtube, to share your knowledge? Thanks for posting! Your group is fabulous.
this is awesome!!! i've trying many times and practiced heaps at flute singing but just horrid noises come out :S i recently saw james morrison play and in a trombone he played one note, sang another to create the 3rd phantom note :) it was amazing!!!
Really very very good...I was visiting your web page...I had a flute quartet in Venezuela in which all of our members were composers and arragers. We focused our work to Venezuelan and Latin American music. Unfortunately we are currently innactive due to two members are living and working on USA. Once again, great work
Bello!

@ittzes Do you use special fingerings, or just the notes' harmonics? How did you arrive at the fingerings? Can I puchase this transcription online?

Thanks. Note that I am singing the lower part only when the theme is in the low register, otherwise I am playing mutiphonics all the time. Gergely
