11/26/2015 Continuous Resonance Solo Improvisation



Neil Welch Continuous Resonance Solo Project

Date: 11/26/2015
Location: Practice Room B at South Whidbey High School. Langley, WA (Whidbey Island)
Instrument: Tenor saxophone

Notes:

Over the past few years I’ve been exploring a new (at least to me) method of articulation on the horn that uses triple-tonguing by moving my tongue in a careful pattern that alternates again striking the reed with the tip of my tongue, followed by the roof of the mouth, and finished towards the center of my tongue. I then moved away from this stiff articulation and began incorporating the contrasting element of pliable pitch regions.
