beatboxing flautist

Thanks to J for sending this.

nadine_a may have a better perspective on his technique, but I (for what it's worth) think he's good. Got the tonguing down, can go low-to-high easily, fingering looks good to me (and it's not all sloppy, there's tonguing in there). And then there's the "I can play the melody and the rhythym at the same time" thing goin' on:

How is he at Bach? Who the fuck knows.

Isn't it cool? I don't know how my bf originally found it, but his friend J was the one who remembered to send me the link.

Beatboxing, according to Wikipedia: "Beatboxing is the vocal percussion of hip hop culture and music. Considered by many to be a fifth element of hip-hop, it is primarily concerned with the art of creating beats, rhythms, and melodies using the human mouth. It can also involve singing, vocal scratching (the imitation of turntable skills), the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments, and the replication of a vast array of sound effects."
