Extraterrestrial Saxophone sounds

Every sound is originated from different outstanding saxophone techniques, played by Severin Neubauer on baritone and alto sax, to extend the instruments range across the whole keyboard.

The Slap is the most percussive sound coming out of a saxophone. Using special tongue-technique the reed is pulled away from the mouthpiece. Due to its flexibility, the reed slaps back onto the mouthpiece and creates the characteristic wooden slap sound.

The Tongue Ram is similarly percussive, but is the result of a very hard push of the tongue against the reed.

Overtones are naturally contained in every tone in the spectrum and, through targeting one or more of those overtones while playing the root note, the saxophone can produce an almost electric sound.

Falls & Whistle Tones are the result of postural changes inside the mouth. Adjusting the formant using vocal mechanisms makes it possible to play very high aliquots of a tonal spectrum resulting in whistles above the actual spectrum of the instrument. The same mechanisms can be applied to change the pitch of the notes, resulting in what we called "falls.“
