Flute beatboxing

I was not sure how to categorized this style of music: beatboxing is actually categorized as "hip hop", but some of this techniques are used in the classical flute repertoire, for example:

George Crumb's Voice of the Whale, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6IWoHguF4o,

Toru Takemitsu's Voice for Flute, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiblAoSDobY&feature=related,

or several works by Ian Clarke such as Within, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6U-vE8YKE0.

But after listening to some of Greg Patillo's recordings, I have decided to categorize it as jazz.

But what is flute beatboxing or fluteboxing? It "represents an innovation in the extended technique of the flute". "Involving the production of stereoscopic flute tones (producing two separate sounds by humming while blowing into the flute) combined with vocal percussion and aural prestidigitation (slight-of-ear), flute beatboxing enables the use of the flute as a rhythmic instrument".

"Greg Pattillo, http://www.pattillostyle.com/, has developed a system of essentially traditional notation for flute beatboxing, with one staf for the flute and one - similar to that for drum kits for the percussice effects". With the "Project Trio", more information regarding this can be found on his website, Greg teams up with a cellist and a bassist, playing a variety of music genres and arrangements. Have a look at this link, here he and the cellist, Eric Stephenson, does their rendition of Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams, http://vodpod.com/watch/3104602-youtube-greg-pattillo-and-eric-stephenson-sweet-dreams.

Another beatboxing flutist is Nathan Lee. Do yourself a favor and have a look at this amazing video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3kyNGVK-hI.

It is so amazing to see how classically traditional instruments are used to produce such modern and "cool" sounds and effects..and I'm so proud to see how hip a flute can sound!!
