Not a trombone or brass player here, but I'm expecting the characteristic "blowing raspberries" sound from the trombone on the attack of the notes that's magically and wonderfully missing. Wow, just beautiful. I've searched for others demonstrating this and he is so smooth in comparison. What's he doing?
@SashaRomeroMusic3 жыл бұрын
Late response, but that raspberry sound that a lot of synthesizers and younger players produce on the attack is basically the waves taking a long time to cancel out at the beginning of the note. Not to get into complicated acoustics, but if you know how strings instruments work, it's much the same for brass instruments. In other words, every possible frequency plays immediately, but because of the shape of the horn and the embouchure, most frequencies end up canceling each other out and all you're left with is the fundamental note that you hear and multiples of that note (the harmonic series). To be less technical, I get my air and buzz into the horn immediately and so you don't have that audible brraaaapp sound at the beginning, whereas most younger players actually start their air a bit too slow. It's still there, but it's much much quicker so it's inaudible. At least, that's my working theory.
