  • this is so cool

  • Someday he will physically explode

  • @iceddante The 'throat mic' basically picks up the sound directly from his throat and from nowhere else (well, little of anything else gets through) The sound of the sax is picked up by other mics in the room. When he records in the studio he uses 24 mics at one time!!!

  • no wonder he's a long distance runner - no WAY you could do this without bucket loads of stamina!!

  • I like how this is called a "How to..." As if any mere mortal could pick up a bass saxophone and do the same things he does!

  • Stunning performance.....absolutely one of the most evocative pieces of music I've ever heard and seen performed in my 30 years as an audio engineer. Wow!

  • Sounds amazing!

    :D*

  • @iceddante Well the microphone picks up the sound and transmits it to a PA surely, that's why the sounds are unified.

  • @iceddante combination of both I assume.

  • I still don't understand how this works though... the dog collar picks up the sound from his throat? Because it still sounds like it is coming from the saxophone.
