WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Wind Controller

We’ve been asked about the instruments we use in our music. Here is a video of one of the more unusual ones. It’s made by Yamaha. It allows me (a flutist) to “play” instruments from around the world and apply the subtle nuances of a flutist’s embouchure to them. Click the link to watch the video on vimeo. :-)

  4. Opus says Thanks everyone! I tried to get the video to actually embed in the post, but I guess the vimeo code is not compatible. Thank you for checking it out anyway. Randy is working on an E-bow video now. It's an amazing little gadget that he uses on his guitar to play it like a violin. Too cool!

  5. mollifire says oh the E-bow is awesome! i totally want one, even though i don't play that kind of psychedelic guitar music. i just think it would be fun to mess around with.
