Brian Eno is the Goat! He has been doing this since the 80's. Your right though andre is bringing it into light again.

[@futuristiccavemanofficial]

@@hettel_visual lol I'm sure that's certainly a possibility... none the less, a lot of people are now on the prowl for this genre. Of course, it'll spawn an influx of BS theatrical copycats that just want to be famous for parading around making ambient music something Pop culture can digest and it'll work. But, for the real pure ambient artists, it'll bring us some shine from a lot more people.

[@eluna34]

For those wondering this is a Native American block flute, also known as a Spirit Flute or First Nations Flute. It is a 6 hole double chambered instrument that is diatonically tuned. The second flute is the same kind of flute but is known as a drone flute - one pipe has holes and allows for melody while the other is tuned to a drone note (some flutes allow for that note to be adjusted). Its nice to see this going mainstream, as many of us in the community surrounding this instrument have believed in its potential for a long time.

@@BraveHawk334 Is this the preferred or correct term? I honestly don't know.

[@eluna34]

​@@MISNM0 typing from phone so will be typos but here is my experience as someone who went to post secondary for this instrument and worked with it for a decade. Nomenclature changes depending on your location and its hyper regional. In Canada acseptable terms for the PEOPLE of Canada (not the instrument) that were present prior to european colonization are: Indigenous, First Nations, Métis, Inuit (plural form of the word) and occasionally Aboriginal though it is far less common. All thse terms mean different things and are not interchangeable. In Canada the word Aboriginee is used to speak about Australias first people. In the USA and South American countries the nomenclature will change. Regarding the instrument its even more complex as this variety of flute evolved from south American notch style flute that also all have different names! Generally names go by region (he calls is Mayan flute for example). I can't begin to list all the names for this wonderful instrument but check out flutopedia it has all the info!

[@themelanatedmr.mosley]

I respect and admire Andre's self-awareness and individuality. This music is dope. He's already an accomplished artist and one of the most influential performers. I'm pretty sure he had naysayers and haters before he started rapping too. I don't care if he plays a harmonica or kazoo, if it's good music...it's simply good music. His sound is so transcending (and ahead of its time), that it will take awhile for many to understand.

[@nepps617]

Andre is a true artist at heart, this is what happens when an artist is done creating for the masses and starts creating for themselves knowing those the project speaks to will understand. I’m so appreciative of this, pretty sure he took my soul to the laudry

[@p3nglin]

OutKast was not for the “masses” it was still genuine artistry

[@sandansaiyan5675]

OutKast which mixed alt rock, neo soul, gospel, drum'n'bass, jazz,techno,funk is definitely not for masses.Not surprised some people called them avant-garde/progressive hip hop duo.And if you remember there was Cartoon Network tv series where he played teacher of jazz.His role model is legendary Ray Charles from the same city so he never was typical hip hop guy

[@KingfishWatch]

[@RunsWithScissorsSenior]

I’ve made these instruments for over 30 years. They’ve been made by human hands for at least 30,000 years. Bear bones. Bird bones. Bamboo. Now I use natural stalks … sunflower, agave, and branches. There are several native flute festivals scattered around the country. Mostly tuned in minor pentatonic keys, these instruments are diverse. Jazz and blues are my favorite jams. That F# drone flute Andre 3000 plays, is directly connected to the heart. Martinez is one of the best makers in the country. Well played tonight, Stephen

[@robinsutton4952]

My husband and I rent from Guillermo (Martinez) and Andre comes by quite often. I feel lucky to have heard Guillermo and Andre play flute’s together. Andre is very down to earth.

[@judithpurcell991]

Lovin' those deeper tones (over high pitched squeaky ones)

[@freda2758]

That fade out was crazy good. We're going to hear this piece featured everywhere. This very much speaks to the soul.

[@RunsWithScissorsSenior]

@@judithpurcell991 … that side blown flute is rare. The finger holes are critically placed for each players fingers. The overblown notes are difficult to tune. Finger finesse is critical. Some holes get “half” covered. Explore Mary Youngblood music. Raven Moon. Track 5. “Laugh With Me”. Alto E. No squeaks.

[@cassieo]

I play a regular silver typical boehm flute, but the first type of flute seemed like a cross between alto flute and a tenor recorder, which is super chill. Love it. I also love the styling of the second style flute he brought out, reminds me of some didgeridoo techniques I tried to pick up (and massively failed). Andre is very compelling and charismatic with his style, too. Makes me want to hear more.

[@Mirrale]

Honestly, it occurred to me during the interview that even during Outkast he was evolving a lot. When they started, he was a rapper. But by The Love Below album, he was singing and making much more melody driven music. His biggest hits from that album aren’t even rap songs (Hey Yeah, Roses, etc).

[@evanlindorff-ellery8013]

This music, style, aesthetic, etc, has existed long before he brought it to the mainstream. It's interesting it's happening, and I believe it is significant, but he is not "1000 years ahead". This stuff has existed for a long time in many branches of creative music. Even the collaborator who was most active on this new album, Carlos Niño, has albums that sound uncannily similar to this.

[@marjudie]

He's traveling to ancient times with this and simultaneously connecting it to future times.

Literally sounds meh if compared to OG ambient albums with eastern flute e.g.

[@Lawranceathome]

[@Mw2Og]

@evanlindorff-ellery8013 go back and listen to the song Babylon. . Then tell me he's not 1000 years ahead. Humans live in cycles, true instrumental must has always been around. True he isn't the first artist to create such an album. But he's the first hip hop artist to bring this genre to the mainstream. By not adding words that would be bound by an Era he's made his album timeless. Regardless if this is his intent, that will be the result.

Wow 😮… I’m at work and 4 mins in… had to hurry to a restroom stall 😢. I turned up the volume on my earbuds, closed my eyes and cried 😭. “What just happened…?” Beautiful music… and 10 mins on tv 📺? Now, I want that “smaller” electric ⚡️ flute. Gonna GOOGLE it, after I write this. Those musicians and Dre, cracked the code to my heart ❤️ with those drums and unique percussion. Thank you Stephen … and, like someone already said… the audio sound team… mixed everything “perfectly!” BRING IN THE FLOWERS 💐… good job 👏 Bruh. “Human Music indeed!”

Andre 3000 is a “musicians musician,” and he could probably play an empty jar of Nutella and an egg timer and it would be somebody’s top notch groove!

[@knotdone5292]

Actually, you're very on the money here

[@rebeltvr6046]

Yup.

[@micahweiss]

Na .. when everyone likes you so much they say some garbage you toss out is good .. we've all gone too far

[@benellis8844]

This album been out awhile, but glad he got to show it on late night! This man is a musical legend. Outkast, solo work, and dont forget he made an absolute banger of a kids show too

[@petertownsend2255]

What's the name of the kids show

[@tremanblue4912]

Class of 3000

[@constanterratic4252]

I live under a rock and had no idea Andre 3000 was doing this kind of stuff now. Unreal! I’m so glad he was able to perform and introduce us to something so unique and powerful. ❤

[@BlueCollar839]

Don't feel too bad about it. This project wasn't promoted like it would have been if this were a hip hop record, which is probably what everyone wanted lol. This performance was hypnotic.

[@YaManMrFaia]

I love the fact that Andre’ made this music primarily for himself. You can make the choice to listen or not. It doesn’t change anything other than shine a light on how much of a burden it is for an artist to do music to please others and neglect the true art they want to do for themselves. This is very therapeutic for Andre’ and as an artist myself, I can relate and appreciate what he’s done.

[@angelawhite7418]

I love what he has introduced my ears to. ❤ Thank you, ANDRE 3000💗💖

[@carolynfrink5569]

This was the most transcending performance I have heard! Peace and Blessings to Andre 3000! The CD is dope! Thank you Mr. Cobert for bringing this to us!

[@Jim49265]

Absolutely stunning work. I've learned a lot regarding the traditional ayahuasca rituals but never been on one. I've sat back in meditation listening to hours of music, some dating back hundreds of years, to the kinds of music that this group of dedicated musicians just played. It was a refreshing blend of brilliance and South American Amazonia. Bravo Andre 300!

[@Eclectic_City]

The light effect the oscillating laser is making when it hits the glass of water is amazing. This whole experience was otherworldly

[@williamyoung617]

We can hold our heads high, As we appreciate this creative musicality contribution. Nothing to be ashamed of indeed.

[@yesandno3640]

Relaxing and much needed at this time. Native sounds.

[@AtlantisEsquire]

A beautiful human being. With so much Talent. I felt the goodness of his spirit. Andre 3000 ©️

[@dvyneentertainmentonline1835]

Stephen, you knocked it out of the park with this performance. The vibe was intense and all the musicians were so damn GOOD.

[@andeegee]

Was he the one who performed?

[@Loki_Yogi]

Stephen wasn't even in the game... let alone in the batting lineup.

[@dvyneentertainmentonline1835]

@Loki_Yogi I guess I should have been more specific in my praise by saying "in presenting this performance". I assumed that most people who watch "The Late Show" realize Stephen is not a musician. SMH.

[@dvyneentertainmentonline1835]

@andeegee No, but he and his staff were the ones who allowed the performance to take place, and it was stunning.

[@Loki_Yogi]

@@dvyneentertainmentonline1835 🤣🙏 I knew what you meant. It's all in jest.

[@juliaconnell]

this is *ART* - much *respect* - would have loved to have been there in person, know from experience as great as camera/audio is, not the same vibe/energy as actually _being_ there. all the same immense gratitude for sharing this with us - *thank you*

[@patrickseanmclain2357]

SO HAPPY TO SEE AND HEAR MY BROTHER CREATING AGAIN SHINING HIS LIGHT PHENOMENAL SPIRITUAL WORK 🙏✨🎧✨👊🤣

[@nysheikaj]

He’s truly an artist. No matter what brush he picks up, beauty pours from it. I’d love to see many more of his performances of pieces from the album.

[@FrisbeeGirl]

As much as I love Outkast, New Blue Sun is a straight up musically nourishing journey. TY, Andre! [edit to correct autocorrect]

[@GGoAwayy]

I was just thinking how differently I felt after listening to it compared to before listening to it.

[@saml302]

Andre already gave us so many bars now he's giving us all this sampling material 🔥🔥🔥

[@BG-fc3em]

outKast with a 'k'

it's the power of music

[@ThunderTaco206]

I'm not gonna lie; as a diehard Outkast fan since their first record way back in 94, and someone who isn't the most familiar with this type of music, I was prepared to dislike this. But I really, really love it!

[@Ismail-cf6xu]

What I love is the improvisational aspect of the work. I’ve seen him perform live since NBS’s release. The songs are not presented the same twice. It’s as if we’re witnessing the evolution of this outfit moreso Dre in real time.

[@TIPB1988]

THAT...!! WAS HISTORY!!

[@Wushutigercranekungfudragon]

Outkast ,wutang and goodie mob.those guys talent was limitless.singing ,rapping,producing,writing and playing instruments.THEY ALWAYS HAD TALENT And insight

If you liked that, you'll love his other records - Carlos Niño is his own thing, that's for sure.

Respect to you André you are changing the western music world the industry needs more artist like you ❤
