Fnugg - how it all started...

[norwaysgateway]

yeah im still proud of being norwegian

[Vermilicious]

Excellent

[BaritOWNS]

when you`re badass in 240p, I can only imagine how it would be like in 1080p oO

[VojtaCornak]

iam frustrated. He is so good that I want to trow my tuba out of the window.

[FunkySkunk55]

I met this guy today! He's a great guy and an AWESOME tuba player.

[Overkillius]

Now I wish I played an instrument instead of being a vocalist. then I could play my tuba part and use my classical elitist powers sing the french horn part because they are always wrong.

[dragonzproductions]

must sing and play at same time now

[LordAroyeum]

it's like bobby mcferrin with a tuba

[Sullabib]

I just heared this piece at a small concert in a cloister (o.O) where I sang, too. I'm sure a great part of the audience (about 60-80 years of age) expected pious church songs (like the one I had to contribute -.- ) and was a little bemused :-P. But especially some of the other young musicians, like me, were quite amazed, very courageous to play a piece like that there... But it rocked! :-)

[MrChickennugget2454]

if any one has hurd of mike forbs he was in the us navy band and i just got back from band camp and he teches their and he beatboxed on the tuba and played fnugg he is amazing.

[Promokz]

omfg

[CincoDrums]

I'm sure my band director will be happy to hear that I will not practice anything but this for the next year.

[MiguelAngeloXPTO]

:O

[tomgul89]

Må bare si at jeg er et stort fan av deg, og det du gjør med tubaen! helt sykt morsomt! :)

[brotsaft007]

chuck norris is playing tuba??

[jm669922]

@brotsaft007 ikr

[tackledparsley]

@brotsaft007 nah, he said he had a teacher

[dontwantnofritos]

22 people are woodwind players

[CaiteeBee3]

one of my music teachers can play this song



[rwhit9351]

I played didgeridoo for a while then picked up tuba so these techniques just came naturally it is really fun to do once you get the hang of it.

[MrDogrose]

Responses to this video show that a little less that 2% of people will dislike almost anything. (Probably sat on a sharp stick at some point in their lives.) Makes me want to re-establish my embouchure..

[FreackZz]

Baadass.

[Bromthebard]

22 people are jealous that they can't sing or beat box into their tuba.

[ManDudeBroseph]

Multiphonics is where it's at!

[SuperKidzilla]

I can do the hum and buzz to get a polytone, but how does he do it so well? Can someone answer for me?

[BenGaut]

@SuperKidzilla Lots and lots and lots and lots of practice.

[LinebackerTuba]

THIS GUYS A STRAIGHT BEAST

[Tanks4meSTC]

How... how can anyone dislike this????????

[Wolf24840]

I keep imagining a Didgeridoo every time I hear this guy play...

[SpencerCHale]

@Wolf24840 The piece is based off of traditional Didgeridoo technique

[Evans97OMG]

omg sounds like electric guitar

[arrowmarcher]

I can kind of sing and play at the same time, but it sounds like shit. This guy is great!

[MortalShinigami]

Baadsvik is awesome!!!

[Joeasy88]

whats the name of the song he did, and i know this is called fnugg, but isnt it based on another song?

[Kinjid]

Yes

| | |

v.v.v



[OSEGATOR]

Is it mostly multi-phonics?

[UMSMASTA]

dear Oystein,

please come to University of Indianapolis!

[jeffgautreau15]

He came to my town for a tuba festival, I had a 1 on 1 lesson with him. It changed my life..

[FixedLensProductions]

how can you thumbs down this video?

[943kline]

He's inspiration for all brass players and made a very big strike against woodwinds

[Joeasy88]

i can do everything their but double tounge, HOWW??!??!?!

[weenerdog1]

Hey' I play sousaphone in marching band and I wanted to know if you could give me some pointers. That is amazing.

[bananadan34711]

Lol, I learned how to sing while I was playing my instrument, someone poked me, and I screamed while I was playing. I ended up just screaming and playing at the same, and was able to slowly translate that into singing. Its not hard, you just need to take that first step.

[BoondockDeacon]

my friend got to meet him to UNH, I think they played together too. very cool

[Jdashdawg1]

Uhmm.....I'm a n00b. Lol.

[Ram0nZarate]

USE THE TUBA, LUKE!!!

[fobioj]

how could u not like this?! i can kinda do multiphonics on a trumpet

[Jtterbo]

Kline, sing from your throat, not with your mouth, just allow yourself to go on "auto pilot" with the actual buzzing of the lips and focus more on the throat singing, start on the same note you're playing on your tuba than work your way up to a 5th or an octive, or wherever you want to be on the scale :)

[Tubadock]

WOW!!! all I can say is WOW!!!!

[DanielTuba7]

tubaadass.....;P Mr Baadsvik rocks!!!!!!

[pdiddy911]

Hey everyone! If you are in the Sacramento area, May 15 and 16th Mr. Baadsvik will be performing at CSU Sacramento in the Down in the Valley Tuba Euphonium Festival. Check it out at the Down in the Valley Facebook page!

[TheAndyRae]

thats awesome!! tubabeat boxing :D

[smoothishe]

943kline?!... :) try to use your voice ;)

[tubawillo]

sick multiphonic my section leader played fnugg it was pretty good

[cajunstix]

half tuba, half didgeradoo, I LOVE IT!!!

[943kline]

I really have to ask. How do you sing and play at the same time. I'm been trying for months

[juanvaldez100]

same here lol

[spudgunner59]

@943kline do exactly what it sounds like. keep your throat open and hum and play. keep your embechure the same or else you will change notes

[robmandems]

@943kline i play trombone, best bet is to angle your head down and push your lips forwards a bit, you'll feel the space in the back of your throat and soft pallet, aim to hit a perfect 5th it's the easiest to get

[Idapidasvida]

@943kline It's not that hard.. You at least if you play tuba or euphonium, of you're playing the trumpet or something it's harder to do it. But just try to play any tone you're comfortable with, (prefearaply a low one) then you sort of open up you throath and sing/talk/make whatever sound you like. And that should do it.. I've been abel to do it ever sins I was 12 years, and I'm not one of those insanly good players, so you should be abel to do it.

[Kiwiboyrockssocks]

@943kline uhm, hard to explain! you have to blow just a regular tone, and sing meanwhile. making brumming noices basickly, and evolve from there

[MIKEBSVIDEOS]

@943kline I just saw this video and I don't know if this question is already answered. Use the air that is being used to play to vibrate the vocal chords, and then it's just pitch control. That's hoe I do it.

[VengefulSpoon]

@943kline

Hum. Now do it without your mouth closed. Now make your Oempature. Now hum with your mouth open and blow at the same time. Now hum louder. Now louder. Now do the same and introduce your mouthpiece. Now introduce instrument.

[lerxst93]

@943kline buzz your lips like a horse and either growl or hum while doing that. and thats how you produce the sound into the instrument, it takes practice

[kryptoweb]

@943kline

you have to first make a sound with your voice then start to blow air at the same time and a lot of practice. I saw Oystein live in quebec city and this guy is amazing a lot of skills are needed to reach just 1/10 of what he make as a "tuba beat box" His a great musician.

[firefly09td]

@943kline for a while, just try buzzing and humming at the same time, then when you have gotten really good at that, go ahead and add your instrument, keep in mind that this won't work too well with woodwinds. Also, you will find it really easy to hum 3rds and 5ths. Then it is just practice.

[Joeasy88]

@943kline what i did to learn how to do multiphonics, is buzz in the air, with no instrument, or mouthpeice, then try to hum, so you get a weird sounding vibration, so your vibrating your lips while holding out a pitch, and eventually you can do this, and get good to where you can through your instrument, i play tuba, and its a lil easier to do on it, than other brass instruments

[marrianeelizabeth]

@943kline me too... just can't figure it out... :P sounds awesome though!

[943kline]

@marrianeelizabeth I'm made some progress. Practice using your mouthpeice (talking or singing a song while buzzing) than slowly apply that to the tuba. IT WORKS

[williebeaty]

@943kline thats about how i did it, still havent perfected it though

[943kline]

@943kline Ok heres my progress I got the buzzing and talking in the mouth peice, now i need to get that into the tuba

[ipguitar]

@943kline The way I learned is more or less think of it as a hum rather than singing and it happens, more than likely it's not correct, but it sounds almost exact

[SnedorKeeb08]

@943kline

be a badass... plain and simple

[LateNightSnack1]

@943kline let your voice flow through as your playing. Open up your vocal cords at much as you can and start at a low note. given the fact most people play a bbb tuba, just start at a low g and work your way up.

[g11gl4]

@943kline

First try buzzing and singing at the same time. Helped me so....

[EtagAwesome]

@943kline i can kind of do it, i thought of it more as humming, maybe that will help

[uembbandgeek2]

@943kline After watching this video for the first time i promptly learned how to do some of that. You have to have the reference pitch your going to song first. Play any note below that note. IMPORTANT TO KNOW, you can't sing lower then your playing. then as Etagawesome said, its more of a hum then singing. Staying in the same partial is gonna be difficult while doing this for a little bit

hope this helped!

[GFMStenorSAX]

@943kline It's sorta like opening your throat and more humming the words than singing. Try that=]

[SamReinhard]

@943kline You hum while you buzz. Don't go straight to the horn, start off simply with just buzzing and humming at the same time into the mouthpiece.

[BrettByFlip]

@943kline just.... sorta keep your lips buzzing, but REALLY TRY HARD to keep loose air moving in the back of your throat.

[ManWithFIngers]

@943kline you sing and play at the same time!

[thiekeman11]

@943kline my tip is to loosen your lips and force your voice through. The lower notes work best to start with.

[LiLBraynshock]

@943kline its easy really. its more mental work, than physical

[TromboneMachine]

@943kline Just do it...I know it's a shitty tip, but it is really how you do it...First, try to whistle while ''singing'', it will sounds like a vacuum, but it is the same way to play in your horn while singing. After, try to buzz while singing, and then put your mouthpiece on your horn, and just do it.

[IAMPAPERCLIP1]

@943kline Its more like humming then anything else and it helps to sing the note that you're playing at first and then try to slowly raise you sung pitch, it'll battle the note your playing but eventually you'll get the fourth or fifth above that note and it's really easy to get then.

[mindstorm95]

@943kline i kan tell you XD

[juanvaldez100]

i wunder wut is he playing becouse i like that song its sound interesting

[monkeybro911]

@juanvaldez100  FNUGG! ya know, sorta THE NAME OF THE VIDEO

[Calisho2010]

:D aww this soo funn! espessially it pisses band people who dont have a clue about muisc! :D

[awt9008]

@Calisho2010 its so brilliant ..... that its stupid....and i mean it in a good way.... lol

[Tanks4meSTC]

I am so going to order the solo. For a month or so, I've been practicing my multiphonics after I heard this. This freaking unbelievable. I'm actually pretty decent now. I can sing up to an octave above the note that I'm playing, but I can't do too much below the note I'm playing, I hope the piece doesn't have any singing below the note... if it does, oh well. A fun challenge.

[AsaminsRevenge]

Memorized, any professional musician has to be able to memorize up to about 10 pages of music. I personally have about 50 songs memorized.

[currymuttonpizza]

Ehh, it depends on the instrument. Sometimes it's standard to memorize, sometimes it's not. Not all instruments have to memorize for recital format, but I think it's necessary for a concerto.

I personally find it kind of amusing that vocalists are nearly ALWAYS expected to have an entire program memorized, when we have words to worry about on top of music that an instrumentalist could get away with reading during performance. Not fair!

Oh, and songs are only for singers. :)

[ChazaamCube]

awesome

[010203gus]

is crazy man

[invisiblekiva]

This first appeared on YouTuba ! ™

[x0legenddddx0]

[acepperson]

Ok, this guy is a bad ass!

[BackwoodsBackman]

so is that his Hirsbrunner, it doesn't look like his Norwegian Star, I guess this was before he switched to Miraphone.

[comptontuba]

his hirsbrunner was silver. his miraphone is brass. it is in fact his norwegian star

[cezza92]

its his miraphone starlight :) the starlight is the solo version of the Norwegian star

[topillolokillo]

My tuba performance major classmate just played this for a tuba showcase last year! It's way cool. I could swear that every single eye in the room was popping out of its socket. Nice to see and hear the composer himself playing it!

[wilson1539]

[Zingriego]

I hope you're granted a lesson.

I got to spend an entire week hanging out with Oystein when I participated in the Rekkenze Brass Festival a few years ago.

He's awesome to see/meet live!

[kampori]

He was indeed mind-blowing. I just emailed him now on behalf of everyone.

Such an honour to meet and play with him!

[theinventer]

[anno65120]

[ishav]

He's so great, we can all forgive him for his Norwegian accent :P Seriously. He's like God.20

[joefon11]

its funny how he has his own little coriagraphy to go with the song

[canibalgofer]

with something like that how could you not? He probably didn't start doing it consciously when he practiced this.

[sharpiecj]

[slocher]

TUBA IS TA BEST! LOVE PLAYING TUBA! and BAADSVICK IS AWESOME!

[killercontra1]

One of the coolest things that happened to me ever was sitting across from this man in a rib shack in Alabama sharing drinking stories over beer and barbecue. He's the coolest, most down to earth guy on the planet. Friggin' awesome.

[polini5000]

man i gotta learn to do that :D

[SCLMember]

I saw him live last night. The most amazing concert ever. Wasn't planning on buying anythin but I rushed back and bought a score of another one of his songs and had him sign it.

[wurst1634]

awesome !

[dragonknight0792]

this is insane!!! AWESOME!!! this guy is really grat!!!!

[LazyTuba]

How does he make those high pitched chirpy noises?

[pennylanealyssa]

my band teacher told me about this too. this guy is funny

[cherriesff]

my orchestra teacher MR.kuri told me to watch this...

[winston5610]

The Gerard Hoffnung of the twenty-first century! Outstanding, innovative musician and talented, witty showman.

[joefon11]

very impressive, i love this song, every time i hear it im blown away

[casrunner]

i can play multiphonics but not that good

[ZacTheTuba]

how do you play multiphonics? I have always wanted to learn how. I'm a freshman in HS I wanna learn. could you explain how?

[casrunner]

just sing in to the tuba and play, it is not has hard as it sounds but it will sound like crap the first time you do it.

[ZacTheTuba]

I figured it out like right after I asked how do you do it lol

[casrunner]

not that hard to do, the hard thing is playing it well.

[ZacTheTuba]

yeah I can get it pretty good I think

[Tubatasm]

it pretty fun to play a little simple groove, really get going, then suddenly make strange noises in a flasetto voice. it sounds hilarious, and if you do it right will cause most people in a room crack up.

[MysteriousNerdyGuy]

The best thing to play when starting out is the Funeral March, in fifths. Or that bit from Phantom of the Opera, with the descending/ascending semitone thing (also in fifths). So fun!

[Fishburn]

its easier than you think, just sing and play.

Instead of just blowing sing. just need a bit O practice.

[4jessicaa]

SERÁ Q ELE É DESSE PLANETA?

[MickOfThor]

Tuba`s answer to Tom Morello:P

[MickOfThor]

I can make the...Most...Of those noises on my guitar xD

[ToxicZUGGAL0]

Wow. . . I first heard this at a school pop show . . . The kid played it well, but not as good as this guy. This guy can it walk and talk.

[mexirican32190]

lol i was there that day =]

[tubajedimaster]

Well as one who frequents multiphonics, (singing and playing), I can tell you that a lot of these guys are right. A relaxed throat is necessary to achieve the desired result, but there is more to it. You need to spend time just buzzing and singing with the piano to really get it to relax. And when its called singing it is a little inaccurate, it's more of a hum. But hum and buzz sounds sexual.

[snafo102]

Thank you so much for posting the videos on You Tube, and letting people discover your wonderful art.

If you are ever in the Central Florida area preforming, I will make every effort to attend.

[ShanCus92]

I can bearly make a noice with a tuba.

Reallyreally hard.

This song makes me wanna try even harder.

I've tryed to sing in my horn and trumpet. I kind of made it. I don't want to say more about that xD

I LOVE THIS

[gnrfreak808]

My hero. I don't ever play tuba. And my mouth is on the floor. Tubas rock. He's my freaking hero. He's fantastic. He rocks my world. That's gotta be hard to do. But he's fantastic. I love him sooooo much.

[Khetodo]

My tuba teacher recommended this and it's great!!!

[NarutoWillKillYou]

When ever i try to sing into the tuba and play at the same time it hurts my throat.

[joshopsho]

[zalphizzy]

i'm sorry that was aweful

[MainMan423]

[zalphizzy]

[thecountwp]

I can not express how much I like your technique, sound, and performance. Simply Great!

[amredhorn]

That was awesome. If I'd seen this a couple of years ago, I never would have quit playing tuba.

[watermellon0123]

sir, you are my hero

[tubadude07]

I'm done being a tuba major....lol

[bugsduggan]

Beatboxing flute has nothing on this. Tuba players will one day rule the world I tell you. THE WORLD! Mwahahahahahahahaha.
