DEEP DIVE into the flute sounds on André 3000's 'New Blue Sun'

[@KingHanma]

I don't think I could have gotten a better review than what I received here. As a Hip hop producer I am familiar with only a few of these wind instruments but YOU Sarah have given me the proper education on what I was hearing which is very beautiful. I LOVE your energy. THANK YOU! ❤

[@Team_Recorder]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@wept_in_the]

Ooooh. I'm normally not a hip hop listener but immediately went to listen on Spotify.

[@Kian_O]

André 3000 used an Roland Aerophone AE-30 pro electronic wind instrument on his album New Blue Sun

[@KingfisherLtd]

This guy is a genius, a researcher in sound. Having no formal musical education he just experiments and plays with music. Cool analysis. Best wishes

[@clairejeannette8454]

Thank you for introducing me to this! And to Andre in particular. I am 79 and haven’t paid attention to music since my 20’s. Time to get out of my head.

[@domwilliams7347]

I so so love how excited you are talking about the albums and sounds. Also your knowledge of tones and the music is actually more exciting than the album. This was a pure joy!

[@mansanayanaranjado]

I didn't expect to enjoy this video as much as I did. Thank you.

[@kentuckyfriedegg3409]

This is the perfect youtube video, it's a passionate person talking about something they love, thanks for you information and expression of your passion

[@Team_Recorder]

Thank you Kentucky Fried Egg 🥹

Hi, Mrs Sarah Jeffrey! I've watched your videos on KZbin for almost a year now, but this would be my first time of commenting on any of them. My apologies on that. I really want to appreciate you for all your tutorials on the recorder. You are such an amazing teacher. How I would love to meet you in person. I'm from Nigeria, and I never got such lessons like yours on the recorder since my school days, but in less than a year, you've transformed my Recorder playing like literally. Now, when people see me playing the Recorder, they are in awe because of how it sounds(thanks to you). Thank you so much for giving us these lessons on team recorder for free. May God bless you greatly

[@arnoldjohnson4373]

LOL, I never heard a better review. Recorder commands a different flavor, unique. Andre 3000 seems to mesh native/classical/jazz reshaping appreciation the way Ornette Colman caused us to question what we have called music. Instead of music genres we have instruments shaping sound. This is exciting. Thanks Sarah Jeffery.

[@craigsmith5134]

hahahha, why in the world was this suggested to me 😄. I had no idea there were so many different types of recorders. Amazing!!

[@fidessai1o]

This video was so fun!

[@nlogaxx]

Andre released this fantastic album just a week after I decided to study the recorder again, I really enjoyed it. Didn't imagine you would make a video about it and so fast, but I'm glad you did. You actually inspired me to pick up the recorder again!

[@drbekken]

I am on my knees; adoring your greatness. I don’t think you ever put out a video that wasn’t deeply fascinating, knowledgeable, and entertaining at the same time.

[@stephanruest7336]

Thanks Sarah. I was restraining myself for an articulate review of the album before buying it. I'll take the plunge!

[@akonv3br]

It would be really cool to see an album from you in the same style.

[@landonprice5656]

Andre 3000 look ma no hands album

[@Kick0a0cat]

Oh, I hope he sees this and you can do some work together

[@Team_Recorder]

can you IMAGINE 😍😍😍😍❤️

[@blazemama5361]

I play different types of Native flutes and was wondering if Miguel's drone flutes had been played. Thx for clearing that up for me. I am also excited to hear the introduction of digital wind instruments. After watching your video on the Vengoa EWI I bought one! Love it!❤ Thanks so much for your break down. I love your enthusiasm and knowledge!!

[@anapaulamendozadiaz8890]

André 3000 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@corrinneloudon525]

Wow, that's incredible! I had no idea that most of that was even possible 😮. Thank you.

[@edgaraortiz]

Girl I love yo hair!! Amazing lighting too. Thx for educating for for years about such an amazing instrument 🤩

[@EmsIsFab]

I LOVE flutes. I have played flute since 2003 - 20 years now! To be fair, not as regularly as I did in middle and high school (I was in band) but I try to keep it up. I still have the muscle memory and the ability to pick up a piece of sheet music and play it on flute. I am working away at recorder every now and then. I am LOVING the tenor recorder - but my dream is to have the ability to play (and to have) a Soprano, alto, tenor, and basset. I already have a soprano, tenor, and alto BUT my soprano is not ideal - it is out of tune and the windway is straight and not curved.

[@MariaAlvarez-mn9nd]

This is when music is more than a sound

[@davido3109]

Thank's for the Review!!!! Treal good!!!!! Subscribed!!

[@luckybarrel7829]

4:44 Gurrrl what R U playin'?! That sounds so awesome! Sounds so medieval?! Don't hide, just dish bish, what u playin'?! 6:57 Gurrrl how on Earth can you close that topmost hole? It looks like it needs two fingers!!! Looks like a lot of contemporary music techniques used to make melodies? Betlchyu had fun with this one! Is that 432 recorder a waldorf edition one?

[@TechOutAdam]

We all had those little $20 recorders in school and it was the best. ❤

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

Tuba being my primary instrument, I would love to try a contrabass recorder and the even bigger subcontrabass recorder you covered previously 😂

[@mirabilos]

Sarah PURRING into the recorder like my cat!

[@Hopper_House]

He has since performed That Night in Hawaii on the Late Show, you can have a look at the instrument

[@austinhackney3906]

Nearly a quarter hour of gorgeous geekery and magical musicianship combining fun, insight, instruction, and inspiration. This is why I adore your channel. I came by originally to snatch a handful of handy hints on playing the recorder. Two years later and I'm still here, wandering in wonder through the acoustics of amazement as we rock the recorder renaissance! 🥰⚧🏳‍⚧🏳‍🌈💖

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

He is using the Roland AE-20

[@LordBiffMusic]

8:00 trying to find a renaissance recorder like that / having a hard time

[@xenontesla122]

Nice analysis! I think the 5ths flute effect is done with an effects pedal or a DAW.

[@InkByt3]

Hi Sarah, this is a great video and review. I've been really struggling with phrasing and it just doesn't seem to come to me. If you can fit it into your schedule could you a video on how to go about phrasing, thanks! 😀

[@lisah336]

Andre's album is good during a walk.

[@DividingInfinity]

Hello Sarah, would it be possible for you to do a video explaining the recorders theoretical spot in the concert band? Such as instruments that could possibly covered by a recorder to allow them to fit in, such as covering oboe or flute parts on certain recorders?

[@giralua1]

I watched the close-ups when André 3000 played on Stephen Colbert's show. Overall the flute looked somewhat like a Native American Flute. It was not a fipple flute, like a recorder, and it was not an end-blown flute (which I find very difficult to get a tone out of) - he was using a tiny mouthpiece sticking out the side near the top, but the closeup wasn't close, steady or long enough for me to get a good look at his embouchure. I couldn't tell if his lips closed around that mouthpiece or if he was blowing into it. I have yet to find a detailed description of the instrument online. If anyone can point one out to me I would appreciate it!

[@meeguu]

Hi Sarah! Your 432 recorder looks like the Mollenhauwer Waldorf.. I was thinking of getting it but it's not 432 is it?? Was it custom made for you? Thank you!

[@Team_Recorder]

It is a Mollenhauer Waldorf- they do a separate 432Hz range! The regulsr range is 442Hz.

[@meeguu]

​@@Team_RecorderAhh I had no idea, that's so cool! Thanks as always❤

[@matt_phistopheles]

I've just seen that there is a double contra bass transverse flute out there. So your recorder is actually a bit on the tiny side...

[@cezgofredo2595]

I love your videos! Please help us to find where we can find different recorders

[@Team_Recorder]

I have so many videos on this 😄 Check my ‘which recorder to buy?’ playlists

[@TheMaskedJedi999]

I really enjoyed this video, but much as I want to, I'm not feeling the same enthusiasm now I'm listening to the album.

[@MrBass4art]

Just a question for you: Do you also build your pcv pipe flute recorders?

[@Team_Recorder]

No!

[@srouawai4424]

Say - what microphone are you using anyway and why are you using that one? :D

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

Recorderwave?

[@davesatchell4399]

Nice review. I like 440-442 better.

[@leeindustries6540]

Native American double flute

[@aetheralmeowstic2392]

Honestly, you should try to learn how to play the Native American flute, more specifically the two chambered variety sometimes called the courting flute. It has a rich, earthy, somewhat haunting tone, especially with ones tuned to a lower pitch. Keep in mind that they're tuned to a pentatonic minor scale, and the key of a Native American flute is determined by the lowest note it can play.

[@JRTrue]

There is a difference, between making noises, apart from making music.. the margin grows as large as the difference between making a man hard, versus making love.. that's as simple as I can put it.. one leaves you feeling cheated and expecting more.. he's famous and the media won't allow him, to practice or learn, the instruments.. if he blows a F note, on a harmonica, people will tell him, he needs, to record it, and put him, in a magazine.. they're destroying his space, a plant needs, to grow.

[@joerichardwad1645]

I’m guessing his album is mostly just synthesized tones through software called LogicPro or Protools because he can’t actually play woodwinds.

[@SalimSivaad]

Who told you this? He’s been spotted all over the world playing his flutes and a bass clarinet in public. No, he’s not a virtuoso on woodwinds, but he’s not trying to be either.

[@joerichardwad1645]

@nubiamancy

[@joerichardwad1645]

@@SalimSivaad Calm down Karen. If it doesn't bother you that he doesn't actually play beyond making some tones, why would my comment get you so upset?
