Ah, I see! How does this fit into things, then?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwonVUPr8-M Probably my third time through the Duck Van Dick show (fourth if you count original views, which I don't becuase it was not my choice to watch, it was what was on in the house), and OMG LOL, I think I appreciate it more now than ever, so many serious skills coming at you all at once in every episode. I know it's funnier than ever, at least to me. Lavender Lollipops or Point Me To The Moon! Gotta love Doris Packer.

Geez, Larry, listen to some Webern.

My dog just vomited on the floor. Good thing my laptop wasn't there!

This is like the girl who barely looked at you telling the world you're a lousy lay. I mean, maybe you are, maybe you're not, but who the fuck is she to know?

Ok, thanks for that insight! I only spent a summer playing one in high school (great way to spend an adolescent summer break..shedding a freakin' basson for no other reason than the sheer fun of it), and then again in woodwinds class in college. Until I got a semi-grip on the double reed thing, all of my notes sounded like that. After I got a semi-grip on the double reed thing...only many of them sounded like that. If it's not a known, specific effect, then I'd go with the latter notion...listening to all the scores (or pieces of music put together for each episode), there's nothing else that gets played that has any indication of "struggle" to it...anything but...some TV shows you can hear that folks were doing the classic read it and take it, things betray themselves too often, but the MI scores are always nailed. Still, I wonder if it originated as a goof and Schiffrin (who I think conducted this cue, not sure, but it gets used a lot, an d it's in line with his other known cues) just said, hey, that's cool, leave that in there. Because hte first time I heard...it got my attention, if you know what I mean, definitely a WTF! moment, pause, rewind, did I just hear that? Speaking of the MI score...the theme known as "The Plot" could easily be played as something from one of those early 70s Elvin bands. Easily.

Well, crap, that was the wrong link, wasn't it. Fixed it. Would be curious to hear what you've got to say.

Thanks for those clips..such an expressive instrument, and such a bear to play! Unfortunately, none of them have the specific effect I'm wondering abut...I did find this clip from MI, it occurs twice in the passage beginning @ 3:36. I think it's just basic overblowing, but...I'm not a bassoonist at all (have tinkered with one years ago, but for just a few months), so maybe it's something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caKdYMIjYYQ Anybody willing to ask any bassonists they might know? I don't really know any myself.

I had a buddy come by the other day and say something about how he needs to get his girlfriend over here to see how he's not the only one who's buying things while still having stuff still waiting to be opened, and I thought, oh, shit, I'm being solicited to be an enabler. Hey, it's a gig. And really, what are friends for?

Wow...that makes sense, though. Even then, we subscribed to both, the Times for news, and the Tribune for...I don't know why we subscribed to the Trib, to be honest. Maybe the comics?

To be honest, I just want to spend the money so Henry gets his little piece of the action. And Mosaic too, of course, but mainly Henry. Can't buy it all at once though, so...2015, if we make it! Until then,The Jick! Like the man said, Air.

I lived in Tampa from 1990-91...what happened to the Tampa Tribune & The St. Pete Times? Did they merge?

Did not know that about Odyssey...makes sense that RCA would offer a counterpart, I suppose. Any idea what the current CD disposition is of that "The New Music" series?

That's all I need as far as content goes..but I would really like to have a legit CD packaging of Open Air Suit...hell, I'd really like to buy the Mosaic, just because. Hope it comes back in 2015 as planned!

Searched in vain for a YouTube clip of it, and if I knew the repertoire better (or at all..) I'd probably be able find this information myself, but anyway... On Season 2 of Mission Impossible, there's a part in the "dossier" scene (right when the "selections" have been made and the IMF folder tossed on to of the stack) where the bassoon plays a theme that involves two (?) notes that sound like they're the result of overblowing to get a harmonic. The effect is, to me that of a "choking" sound...not unpleasant at all, just very ear-catching and impactful. My questions are: Is there a specific name for this technique? If so, what is it called? How is it scored, i.e. - indicated on the part? What are some examples of this technique being put to use in non-soundtrack music? I was thinking there was something like it on Sketches Of Spain, on "Saeta", but no...although on the intro to "Solea" Miles plays something that produces a similar effect. Anyway, thanks in advance for any light to be shed.
