Binary Sunset: An Octave Higher (Star Wars Trombone Cover)

Рет қаралды 14,191

Күн бұрын

Welcome to my latest cover! In this video, I play "Binary Sunset" from Star Wars, an iconic and beloved theme. To step it up, I played in an octave higher, reaching all the way to G5 on a tenor trombone!
"Binary Sunset", composed by legendary John Williams, is a memorable theme from the Star Wars saga. By shifting it up an octave, I challenge my range and make this usually easy theme into a massive obstacle. Even if you haven't seen Star Wars, I hope you enjoy this rendition!

Not sure what model the trombone is but the mouthpiece I used is a Vincent Bach 12C.

Fellow trombone player. I tried this in high school. I gave myself a nosebleed.

I wrote the music on flat.io. If you click on the note then it plays the note. The funny thing is that the note (G5) is so high that the program doesn’t even play it if you click on it lol

If you can keep your notes big and blow through them to make them a little cleaner and still be able to hit that high note then that would be the perfect video

You can try adjusting your mouth to be lower on the mouthpiece. I also try to imagine to blow air slightly more downward as I get higher and higher. Good luck!

Fun fact: it’s physically impossible for a flute to play this if it was directly transposed to treble clef Assuming I’m thinking correctly, there’s a note that’s too low

I recognize your sound as something I once had an issue with. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you are separating the air between notes with your throat rather than your tongue. Your tongue should be making the movement of saying “ta” when you start each note

@tomnicbl367 28 күн бұрын

Please don't make it a habit to play high. As a tuba player i can confidently tell you that playing long and low notes is the best way to improve the way you sound. Playing really high is probably the least important part of playing any low brass instrument.
