Dr. Kirsten comes out in favour of the humble (yet apparently bloody pricey) flute. Ignore the smutty talk of fingering and tonguing, we're here to get real about one of hip hop's favourite sampled instruments.
Dr. Zemke talks vocoder with a very excited host: it's Breakfast Club, there're robot voices on tunes, and well... of course Mike has a vocoder app on his phone.
In which Dr. Zemke details uses for/of: the vibraphone. Whether cracking solos, percussive melodies or Looney Tunes foley, this week's instrument brings the bones-as vibes. (Sorry.)
In which Dr. Zemke brings in tracks featuring a personal dislike: the oboe. While Mikey and Sarah maintain it's not quite as rude as the saxophone, does the 'best duck in the choir' still prove too annoying for the Doctor to enjoy?
