Just laughed out loud at ixi’s 🎹 arm slams 😝

I had to make the piano scream somehow ;)

I knew it was a reed sound, but hearing you make it was so awesome.

(N0N1337H41 from Discord)Just watched this. Amazing as always ixi. Despite how amazing this song is, I wouldn’t be honest if I said that I wasn’t most interested to see where you would come down on mystery instruments debate. My earliest instrument family was saxophones, so I’d heard those noises almost every day for a decade. In my head the sounds were a tenor sax mouthpiece and neck, and he’s anchor-tonguing while moving his bottom teeth past his embouchure and onto the back of the reed (to create those super high tones). But everyone in my world really needed to believe that those sounds were pantyhose being pulled across a mic. Thank you for the whole video/analysis, and for finally setting everyone straight.

Hey welcome back! Yeah this song is super saxy ;) Anchor tonguing - ha I've never heard that term but I totally get it!

5-MeO-DMT

Your comment made me instantly curious if I’d been using some backwoods dialect term for that method of tonguing. I’d never needed to google/altavista it before. A potential lifetime of shame was put straight by a google search. What an odd thing to freak out about lol. It’s fairly common for people with larger tongues to use the anchor method, which was why I was a closet anchor tonguer. Feather tonguing just was not a physical reality for me if I was needing to do 16th note runs in common time over 100 BPM. Now you all know my shame. <3
