I think its the 2005 european brass band championships dvd. Either that or the 2004 one.

It is the 2003 European Brass Band championship DVD.

Amazing.

As a brass bander, it's entertaining to watch and hear this recording of "Fnugg" with the highly respected Stavanger Brass Band.

But this version lacks the clever quote from "Smoke on the Water."

I look forward to seening many of you in New York next month.

Sincerely,

Thanks Oystein for sharing that. Awesome performance! I've shared that link with other instrumentalist who I think will appreciate it.

I remember your performance of "Fnugg" at ITEC in Greensboro, NC in 2002. Everyone (~ 800 people) jumped to their feet in applause after that performanceâ€”including Roger Bobo who was there to receive a 'Life Time Achievement' award from ITEA.

Thanks for sharing.

Time for a bump -- and a question:

What instruments are playing the background part from 6:18 to 6:50, whilst Oystein is providing the percussion part via the mpc? Sounds like flutes to me, and not being a brass band person, I didn't know if that was "legal" or if some other brass instrument is actually playing, or if it was perhaps synthesized.

Curious,

NickJones · Post by **NickJones** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:07 am

Fnugg Blue features some loops provided with the set. it's really worth buying as it is a great addition to the repoirtoire

That performance was a first-class headbender. Nobody there had ever heard anything quite like it. Real eye-openers are few and far between, and yours was a gem. That's one of the all-time coolest things at a tuba conference ever.

It looks like the Hirsbrunner Eb pictured on his web site. I don't think the new Miraphone Eb was available when that was recorded, unless in very early prototype form.

Cheers,

Hi,
The instrument you hear on the video tape is a synth. Illegal? Of course, but that's what makes it fun! It's actually the same guy playing the rythm loops. I recorded a studio version of the tune this year with Swedish Wind Orchestra. A full symphony orchestra version is most likely recorded in January.

As for the tuba, the video clip was made with my good old Hirsbrunner e-flat from 1981. Since I only play e-flat, and the Firebird is an F tuba, I don't play that. It's a good horn though... No, I play a smaller Miraphone e-flat tuba that was developed parallell with the slightly larger e-flat; Norwegian Star. My solo-baby is in production as of... now, and is called Star Light.

By the way, tune in your public radio to "A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor", live from New York on Saturday Dec 9, or Dec 15. You should be able to hear Fnugg there as well. Date not set but will be announced in a day or two.

Thanks! Sure sounded like a flute or synth. Not playing in BB, I didn't know if anyone would ever sneak something in like that. ("no -- it's a new brass instrument called a Klaviphonium -- it plays in all 88 keys .... ") Thanks also for posting the updated info about the Norwegian Star and Star Light on your web site. Thanks also for the Keillor tip!

Cheers,

Hmmm, sounds like Keillor is going to have a tuba month. Gravity is scheduled to play on PHC Dec 8th and 9th in NYC. The 9th being the broadcast performance. I've had to find a replacement for Velvet Brown as conductor for our local TubaChristmas scheduled for the same day. She just found out last week about the gig. She actually asked if it was OK to back out of conducting. To me it was a no brainer - she'll be playing in NYC.
