Microtones and Multiphonics (Oh My!) 😲 - "Trillium" for Solo Flute

[@NomeDeArte]

Lovely! Best regards from Argentina

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@Malawax62]

You make it sound so effortless, but clearly, this is very difficult. And very beautiful!

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks! ❤️ This one took some practice and, honestly, just some time and thought to let my hands feel comfortable with all the alternate fingerings.

[@TheCecyFernandes]

Thank you! Beautiful shirt! Beautiful flute. Beautiful sound. Beautiful lesson.

[@jaromite27]

I played this spring of my freshman year!

[@niklasli5]

Amazing

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@maxrkmrose]

Lance, you are an awesome flutist. That was great. I heard all of the extended techniques. An interesting piece for sure.

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed the music!

[@rwrae72]

If I'm honest I'd rather hear the standard repertoire. But if I have to listen to contemporary it's you I want to hear. You are very gifted. Fight On! ;-)

[@poink9]

I absolutely love this and always enjoy hearing "new and unusual" sounds and techniques. Bravo!

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks, Thomas! So glad you enjoyed!

[@joyanthony7513]

I love your song ❤

😊

[@ifixfridges7792]

would you consider doing a video explaining some of these techniques in more detail?

[@Kuna_music]

Would love this, please include how to write or in sheet music as well

[@LanceSuzuki]

Great idea! 🤔 Are there any other extended techniques you’d like to learn more about?

[@Kuna_music]

@@LanceSuzuki I am only a beginner in playing flute, so I’m not ready for these techniques yet, but I primarily focus on composing, so any extended techniques are interesting for me to learn about.

[@ifixfridges7792]

@@LanceSuzuki me personally multiphonics and microtonal playing. For multiphonics, exercises and ways to develop the technique. For microtonal, specifically how to develop a controlled sound, not just playing a little sharper and calling microtonal playing. Thanks for replying :)

That was amazing! Was it hard to master? By the way, the trillium is the provincial flower of Ontario 🇨🇦

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks, Suzanne! Wow! I didn’t know that about 🇨🇦 It’s great to know! This piece took some time to marinate and memorize the fingerings but worth it in the end!

[@michaellee2731]

Have you ever played the great train race I would love to learn to play it

[@LanceSuzuki]

That’s another one I would love to learn! I heard Jasmine play it live a few years back and it was amazing. You should give it a shot!
