This would be like a violin playing a 7 note chord voicing. I don't know why but I feel like there's a piece out there with this in it and I just stuck my foot in my mouth.
How he does it: He plays normally while humming to get 2 notes at once. The 3rd one comes from throat singing, allowing you to make 3 sounds at once. VERY talented man right here.
Well... It's really more of a 1.5.8 pattern pretty sure, sooooooo technically a chord is started as a triad (3 notes) but with the increase it's actually 2 notes.

He plays one note, sings one note and if the intonation between the two notes is perfect, you can create a third note thanks to the overtones! It’s incredible!
@@nic..1 throat singing is but that’s not the only way you can obtain them. While playing one note and humming the other, it causes a note in the overtone series to come out.
As someone who cannot play the trombone, I learned 2 things today: 1) You cannot play more than 1 note at a time with a trombone 2) You can play more than 1 note at a time with a trombone
So, as a brass player I can tell you how he’s doing some of this; One note is played “normally” by essentially blowing a raspberry through tightly pursed lips. The second note is him actually humming through the instrument while playing the normal note. The third note is because he made a deal with the devil at a crossroads.
"Remember that thing your music teacher told you not to do when first learning how to play the trumpet? The humming thing? Yeah, do that, just make it classy"
I play trombone, one way to make 3 sounds is to sing, and double buzz. Which is buzzing your lips to make one sound but also buzzing your bottom lip with the bottom of your mouthpiece. Its a very difficult technique to play 3 notes, but it does work. You can also triple buzz. So technically, if you are REALLY good at trombone, you can play 4 notes at the same time.
@@sheeloesreallycool not always, when you first learn something, you learn somethings, like double buzz, is "bad". As you get more advanced you can incorporate those "bad" things to increase efficiency, skill or to use in a super unique way. When I first learned to play I was told to not breathe through my nose but as long stretches without rest became common, I start to take quick breaths through my nose.
Fun fact. This guys name is James Morrison and he's actually primarily a trumpet player. The fact that he can do this on a trombone is an absolute testament to his skill. I've seen his trumpeting live, it was incredible.
I play trombone, this is done by basically humming through the instrument while you play it. edit: I don't feel like explaining it here because I don't fully understand it myself, but the way he plays 3 notes is because of a combination tone, which you can look up
ik this is an old thread, but you should look up "Der Erlkonig violin". It's absolutely insane, they play 2 distinct parts simultaneously on one violin
I would engage this from a different angle: in order to pull this off with good intonation, let alone such excellent intonation and precision to produce overtones, you need to have an astonishing technical capacity to play the instrument, and thus, be able to produce beautiful tones.
Andika Zaffar Ahmad "How to know someone is a legend 1. He plays chords in a trombone" No no no. How do you know someone's a legend? He does this and he's actually a trumpet player. For real.
I can imagine having a fever dream where I hear this video in my neighbor's house only to go over and hear a cat producing the noise. This has no right to be funny but it somehow is.
I can finally tell you HOW the third note is played The note is called an “undertone”, it happens when you play 2 notes at the same time and create a very low pitched note. The way he did it is by Humming the Middle note and Playing the high note, which then generates the lowest note. Edit: Thanks Arroyoyo for helping me fix my error. Boy do I sound like a robot rn lmao
@@Engineer9736 Don't worry, I realize he hit the 3 notes at that moment aswell :) although I do appreciate that you had wanted to point it out to me in case I had missed it.
Mr Morrison used to live near the high school I went to - maybe he still does, I don't know. Anyway, he'd show up from time to time and "help out" with band practice, which more often than not meant he took over band practice and the regular teacher/conductor, Mr Stephenson, just stepped back and watched and tried not to let his mouth hang open. I'll tell you this: having James Morrison show up to your high school band practice must be pretty similar to having Usain Bolt show up to your sports carnival.
my high school band had the drummer from the progressive metal band Haken (whose album The Mountain we had turned into that years show, and of whom everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in the band was a fan of) come in. Fantastic percussionist. craziest part was that he spent the entire time doing a masterclass on tuba, which is apparently his preferred instrument. brilliant musician.

0:31 oh my gosh did you hear individual notes in the chords changing independently, like the notes aren’t just eternally attached to each other, that’s INCREDIBLE
I think he hums while playing. At least that's what's I would do to play it on the flute. So the instrument makes one sound. But you can also use your breath to make single overtones louder. But for these changes he would need different positions I think
@@mcmonkey26 I'm not 100 percent sure on that one. I have a theory it has to do with overtones, purposefully resonating specific notes. But Im not sure.
TH-cam comments: Nooo trombones are monophonic, you can’t just play more than one note at a time on a trombone James Morrison: haha trombono go brrrrrrrrrrrr
But…it can’t. The person is playing 3 notes, but only one is coming from the trombone. The other two are humming and throat singing. No less amazing, just not 3 notes on a trombone.
As a trombone professor I guarantee this is real. I remember discovering this. It was super weird. But you don’t use it much. Like maybe once in every 10 thousand songs. It’s rare. But fun
I have no idea if anyone posted this here, but here we go: 1st note is the basic buzz, just the usual brass stuff. 2nd note is poliphonics or watever it's called in english. It happens when you sing along the usual buzz on the instrument. 3rd note is caused by the vibration of each lip on a different frequency. You usually see this done unintentionally by new brass players, when they sound like a duck quacking. It takes a reeeeaaal great bit of skill to do it intentionally, like mr. Morrisson is doing here. If you are a brass player and wanna learn this, you can do it by going in between two "fixed" notes on the harmonics of you instrument, independent of the tunning. It's like "surfing" the ghost note (or, again, whatever it's called in english) untill you get two distinct and clear notes. If anybody is interested, or if there is any request on the replies I can try to learn the technique and post a video about it...
I figured out how to do the third note, buzz with your tongue all at the same time and you get the three pitches. Its super hard , like F@#! hard. Buzz with you tongue like you are trying to imitate a car sound and the humming. The fact he has all that range while doing it still blows my mind though
well pianist can play more than 10 note same time XD in fact you cant play like 88 note same time with the power of a pedal but normally 10 note without any pedal should be enough
I once played trumpet on stage with James Morrison. He did a performance with a bunch of students from local high school bands, I was lucky enough to be selected. It was great, but I was so nervous I'm honestly not sure any sound actually made it out of my trumpet. Which might have been for the best. Anyway, that's my biggest claim to fame.
Just to additionally clarify: When you do brass multiphonics (play one note, sing another), it usually only sounds like 2 notes. However, there are larger intervals where the resultant 3rd interval will pop out if you sing/play in tune. The clearest/easiest example is one of the ones James uses in this video, which is singing a note an 11th (1 octave+a 4th) above the note you're playing. If you are in tune with yourself, the note in between them comes out without you having to do anything. The resultant note doesn't project nearly as well singing a 10th (1 octave+a 3rd) above like James is doing for most of the video, though you can get your ear to hear it better if you start on the 11th and resolve to the 10th. Anyone who can do multiphonics in tune can easily get 3 notes to sound with that interval. Now, if he was getting 3 clear notes on smaller intervals, then you could claim throat singing or other vocal trickery. But this isn't that. P.S. Multiphonics themselves actually aren't that difficult, you just have to mess around with them for a little while until you learn how to keep both notes stable. It's harder to do a long string of them like he's doing, but in terms of extended brass techniques it's really not too bad and anyone can do it. Circular breathing is much harder IMO. P.P.S. Why don't you hear brass players do them anywhere but the occasional unaccompanied solo (such as in this video)? Because they are not loud and are completely lost in an ensemble (not to mention very unstable to tune with or against). Woodwind multiphonics are a different beast that (especially in the case of the saxophone) can be used effectively over an ensemble.
Also trombonist, In simple terms, you have single played notes, sung multi-phonics (singing while playing,) and split tone multi-phonics (embouchure technique using a double buzz to produce multiple notes.) Depending on what interval you play or sing, you can create other pitches, for example: if you play a "c" and sing an "E" at the same time, perfectly tuned to that C, you will hear a pedal fundamental note created with the two notes you are also producing vocally and with your embouchure. Brass instruments are wild fun.
Its also possible (but not probable) that hes growl singing while playing. Im a tuba player so its a little easier but ive done it a few times, sing at one pitch, growl at another pitch, and play at another pitch
Lallo Grieß yet again I have not but thank you for introducing me to these incredible musicians, I hadn’t heard of theses musicians (I play trumpet) so I’m very grateful for these recommendations.
I remember I actually got to go to a James Morrison concert once and it was so great. He kept telling terrible music puns and it was honestly so much fun
The phrase of the piece at 0:58 was stuck in my head and I wanted to write it down so I could learn it because it would go really nice with another piece I’m working on right now. I just watched every single trombone solo video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam to find this, thank god it came to me. Marching band camp killed me so I guess I’ll do it when school starts. 2ish weeks left!
I was generally shocked the first time but it took me until like my 7th or 8th view for it to really set in that this guy played 3 notes at the same time
after like 6 years of watching this video I am finally able to play the 3 note chords, actually not as hard as I thought it once to be, practice goes a long way

But you can also use your breath to make single overtones louder. But for these changes he would need different positions I think
He has a video on it. He said he sings the upper note while playing the lower on the trombone
@@leoxozeofficial2187 how does he do 3?
@@mcmonkey26 I'm not 100 percent sure on that one. I have a theory it has to do with overtones, purposefully resonating specific notes. But Im not sure.

But…it can’t. The person is playing 3 notes, but only one is coming from the trombone. The other two are humming and throat singing. No less amazing, just not 3 notes on a trombone.

As a trombone professor I guarantee this is real. I remember discovering this. It was super weird. But you don’t use it much. Like maybe once in every 10 thousand songs. It’s rare. But fun
I have no idea if anyone posted this here, but here we go:
1st note is the basic buzz, just the usual brass stuff.
2nd note is poliphonics or watever it's called in english. It happens when you sing along the usual buzz on the instrument.
3rd note is caused by the vibration of each lip on a different frequency. You usually see this done unintentionally by new brass players, when they sound like a duck quacking. It takes a reeeeaaal great bit of skill to do it intentionally, like mr. Morrisson is doing here.
If you are a brass player and wanna learn this, you can do it by going in between two "fixed" notes on the harmonics of you instrument, independent of the tunning. It's like "surfing" the ghost note (or, again, whatever it's called in english) untill you get two distinct and clear notes.
If anybody is interested, or if there is any request on the replies I can try to learn the technique and post a video about it...
It's called "multiphonics" close enough.
I'd be interested in seeing that video, great info!
@@christiannicholas To be fair "poli" or poly means "multiple"
I figured out how to do the third note, buzz with your tongue all at the same time and you get the three pitches. Its super hard , like F@#! hard. Buzz with you tongue like you are trying to imitate a car sound and the humming. The fact he has all that range while doing it still blows my mind though
its not some fake gunk
"Fine, you can play two notes at once, big deal"

"you know trombones can't play 2 notes at once right"
"Correct. THEY CAN PLAY THREE."

Thats it, send him to gbj
But before we play 3 notes at once, we need to talk about parallell universes
parallel harmonics*
this guy had to align his defacto notes just to cross each quarter step and play the third note
Building up tempo for 12 hours
Pianists when they discover they can play 5 notes at the same time
: reality can be whatever i want it to be
well pianist can play more than 10 note same time XD in fact you cant play like 88 note same time with the power of a pedal but normally 10 note without any pedal should be enough

I once played trumpet on stage with James Morrison. He did a performance with a bunch of students from local high school bands, I was lucky enough to be selected. It was great, but I was so nervous I'm honestly not sure any sound actually made it out of my trumpet. Which might have been for the best.
Anyway, that's my biggest claim to fame.
Nice, in high school I had a chance to play under the baton of Benjamin Zander in an orchestra. Great experience.
What a small world! My sister's biggest claim to fame is that she got to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York.
Just to additionally clarify:
When you do brass multiphonics (play one note, sing another), it usually only sounds like 2 notes. However, there are larger intervals where the resultant 3rd interval will pop out if you sing/play in tune. The clearest/easiest example is one of the ones James uses in this video, which is singing a note an 11th (1 octave+a 4th) above the note you're playing. If you are in tune with yourself, the note in between them comes out without you having to do anything. The resultant note doesn't project nearly as well singing a 10th (1 octave+a 3rd) above like James is doing for most of the video, though you can get your ear to hear it better if you start on the 11th and resolve to the 10th. Anyone who can do multiphonics in tune can easily get 3 notes to sound with that interval.
Now, if he was getting 3 clear notes on smaller intervals, then you could claim throat singing or other vocal trickery. But this isn't that.
P.S. Multiphonics themselves actually aren't that difficult, you just have to mess around with them for a little while until you learn how to keep both notes stable. It's harder to do a long string of them like he's doing, but in terms of extended brass techniques it's really not too bad and anyone can do it. Circular breathing is much harder IMO.
P.P.S. Why don't you hear brass players do them anywhere but the occasional unaccompanied solo (such as in this video)? Because they are not loud and are completely lost in an ensemble (not to mention very unstable to tune with or against). Woodwind multiphonics are a different beast that (especially in the case of the saxophone) can be used effectively over an ensemble.
Also trombonist, In simple terms, you have single played notes, sung multi-phonics (singing while playing,) and split tone multi-phonics (embouchure technique using a double buzz to produce multiple notes.)
Depending on what interval you play or sing, you can create other pitches, for example: if you play a "c" and sing an "E" at the same time, perfectly tuned to that C, you will hear a pedal fundamental note created with the two notes you are also producing vocally and with your embouchure. Brass instruments are wild fun.
Basically the over tone series if the intervals are in tune?
Can we instead call Trombone Players Tromboners?
@@thegrim418 go ahead, we already call ourselves that
Its also possible (but not probable) that hes growl singing while playing. Im a tuba player so its a little easier but ive done it a few times, sing at one pitch, growl at another pitch, and play at another pitch
@@tk337h May I call you Boners?😅
If a music teacher ever tells me you can only play one note, I’m coming right here and showing them this video!
It is technically possible to play 4 notes at a time: two buzzes from the lips, while singing and throat singing...
*oh boy*
That would be impressive since they all have to be in tune to work.
i can hum and whistle at the same time, now to learn the trombone and throat singing
the actual video is even more impressive: like halfway through he starts doing solos on other instruments lol
Sauce?
@@De_Rustige its in the video description
@@De_Rustige goes with the chips
Ayo everyone mentions how cool it is he can do 2-3 notes at the same time but can we mention how hard this slaps ?
When your mate's gone for Solo Ensemble:
This has a really strong "you cant just shoot a hole through the surface of Mars" vibe
I mean, of course he casually just slides into Things Ain’t What They Used To Be as if the man just didn’t play a one man trio by himself.
James Morrison also does this in Autumn leaves, his multi-phonics are the best I’ve heard
You know albert mangelsdorff ?
Or nils wogram?
Lallo Grieß actually no I’ll be sure to check him out
Lallo Grieß yet again I have not but thank you for introducing me to these incredible musicians, I hadn’t heard of theses musicians (I play trumpet) so I’m very grateful for these recommendations.
Bill Watrous had killer multiphonic chops as well
His cranial cavity enlarged as he exhales more heavily.

I thought I retired from playing trombone a long time ago. Now I wanna play it again. This is the true power of the trombone.
The theme in my head when I'm sneaking to the fridge at 2am for a snack.
can we appreciate how he was able to play 2 notes at once consistently at this rhythm and keeps it throughout the whole minute with good tone
I can sing and play on my trombone, but cannot do two buzzes at once.
THIS GUY THOUGH...
He does it again here. You can hear him hum to find the overtone he's looking for. th-cam.com/video/viaWRq1JHGY/w-d-xo.html

I remember I actually got to go to a James Morrison concert once and it was so great. He kept telling terrible music puns and it was honestly so much fun
When he took his hand off the slide, raised his fingers and raised his eyebrows, it felt like the soul of Filthy Frank was going through him.
I sometimes whistle and hum at different tones at our dogs. They get really spooked by it. "My human broke."

Fun fact about this guy James Morrison, he used to be a host on Top Gear Australia
Sometimes I accidentally play 2 notes at once without humming it and I always just dismiss it for bad tone quality. Cool to know that this is a thing!
If you arent humming/singing into it and you are getting 2 notes, thats double-buzzing
He's not double buzzing he's doing multiphonics. You do have bad tone, you were right
The phrase of the piece at 0:58 was stuck in my head and I wanted to write it down so I could learn it because it would go really nice with another piece I’m working on right now. I just watched every single trombone solo video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam to find this, thank god it came to me. Marching band camp killed me so I guess I’ll do it when school starts. 2ish weeks left!
I did not search for this, but I am intrigued nonetheless.
I was generally shocked the first time but it took me until like my 7th or 8th view for it to really set in that this guy played 3 notes at the same time
You can’t play more than one note on the trombone
