Flute beatboxing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flute beatboxing represents an innovation in the extended technique of the flute, or conversely, an extension in innovative sound resonators for beatboxing. Involving the production of distinct and stereoscopic flute tones combined with vocal percussion and aural prestidigitation (slight-of-ear), flute beatboxing enables the use of the flute as a rhythmic instrument.

Most beatbox historians credit RadioActive as the original flute-beatboxer (using a pan flute, and performing with the Spearhead around the world)), and Tim Barsky with being the original innovator in the field of flute beatboxing on a classical Boehm system flute. Both artists came out of the bay area hip-hop scene, where beatboxing has flourished since its inception.
