Good stuff, Tony! Thanks.

In "Highland Sunset," how do you achieve that didgeridoo effect? Is is just a kind of multiphonics? I like it.

It IS a didgeridoo effect, but not multiphonics per se. You achieve the sound changes by playing a drone note, and then moving your tongue forward and back inside your mouth at the same time while playing, which changes your resonating frequency.

Correct! The pitch range is limited to about 5 notes, but you can create some nice tunes with the didgeridoo technique. It is worth pointing out that this is the same technique employed by throat singers. I also add in some traditional tuba-multiphonics (singing) for extra layers of sound.

Thanks for listening!
