that instrument on oh comely

[glovguy]

What is the instrument at the end of oh, comely? You-know, not the accompining trumpet, but the thing that does that plays the same thing, just fluttery.

My guess is Zanzithophone or ?saxaphone?

[BadPortlandStory]

I think Jeff Mangum makes that noise with his tongue.

[Stormx]

Isn't it saw? (stabbing in the dark here...)

[gwilym]

zanzithophone it is not. i believe its a trumpet.

[Lusitania]

gwil is right, it's another trumpet.

[glovguy]

Well, when they play the same note et the end, they don't quite match. Either its not a trumpet or whoever's playing it is playing it oddly. It could always be another brass instrument, they had quite an arsenal, but I don't think any other brass instrument they had goes higher than a trumpet.

[Stormx]

Ah damnit. For some reason I was thinking of the instrument at the start of two-headed boy pt 2 XD

[idrankhemlock]

i was gonna say....

[pgrube]

As far as i can tell there are three brass instumets playing at the end of oh comely. There is a trombone (posibly a bass trobone) playing a lower riff, a clean trumpet playing the melody, and a muted trumpet playing the top "fluttery stuff". That's what I think but I'd like to heard an oppinion from on of the numerous music majors that frequent the site.

You just want them to fight like in that thread about the time signature for Oh Comely. :)

[sellout250]

Perhaps a fluegelhorn?

[gwilym]

on another note, theres a "zanzithophone" aka the digital saxophone in my schools electronic music lab thing. sweet.

[BigBlackSmoke]

You caught me. I did thoroughly enjoy that thread.

[Stormx]

So what IS the time signature for Oh Comely?

[tomatoesandradiowires]

It sounds sorta like a thurman to me but i don't think that nmh uses a thurman so i'd say that it's just a computerized effect.

[gwilym]

i totally thought they used an uma thurman. you gotta be lying, dude.

[Stormx]

Im almost completely sure its saw, but really, there are enough saw players here, ask one of them!!

[glovguy]

um, no arguements over time signitures, please (that went on for way too long), and c'mon, make new questions new threads.

my first impression was a clarinet, but they didn't use one.

[tomatoesandradiowires]

[BigBlackSmoke]

what's making the delicious squeaking noises in the break of In the aeroplane over the sea?

[buttsex-chan]

I think that's actually the sound of asslicking!

[tomatoesandradiowires]

Of course!

[buttsex-chan]

I think there should be an audio-only making-of featurette as the bonus disc for OAI.

[Jon]

doesnt Julian play the saw on occasion?
i dont know if thats it but its possible i guess

[Lusitania]

yes, everything they're talking about is actually the saw, they're just making jokes.

When I first heard the song, I thought it was sound effects of seals. and then i watched the New Years 40 Watt Show, and figured it out. But then after reading all about Jeff's field recording adventures, it'd sorta make sense to be seals after all.
