Bamboo Tones

The Bamboo Overtone flute is like a little sibling to the Eastern European Fujara. However, this flute is almost human like in the sense it only has two holes. 

The flute is played by muting the bottom of the flute with your palm and bending the note. The overtones are generated by playing softer or harder, allowing it to span over four octaves. The sound is best described as ethnic and ethereal, but with that very distinct overtone charm to it. We sampled the hell out of it by multi-sampling the overtones in sustains and staccato and by doing over 350 BPM (80-140) based phrases, and with additional FX.
