JP's solo from Octavarium played on the french horn

I've always had a blast playing DT stuff on the horn !
I thought it'd be cool to finally record this solo :)

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I always felt the French horn was the essence of that movement of the song.  Nice work.

Oh baby.

I listened to this again and followed along.  Magnifico!  And somehow I didn't notice the flute solo at the end before.  I've always loved that, ever since the "rogue" version of "Octavarium" that came out before the official release.

Yeah I've always loved that alternate version too ! I thought it would be cool to bring it back :)
Also this mix is a bit different since it doesn't have any guitar at all

Great stuff, man!

By the way, I assume you can play a total of 8 tones using the 3 keys on the horn, right? Do you have to tune the horn to different keys, when playing different songs, or does each horn only play one key?

You can play any note using a specific combination of the 4 valves ( there's actually a fourth "thumb" one ;) )

Here are the fingerings ( Horns are in F & Bb )

So you "start" from C or G (depending on embouchure), then the middle valve drops you one half step, first valve drops you one step, and the third valve a step and a half?  Then in the upper octaves, you can also start with E?

I always figured the amazingly rich tone of a French horn comes from basically "always playing in the upper register" (relative to trumpet, that is) but mellowed by about a mile and a half of tubing.  Obviously that's an exaggeration, and I don't know all the proper terms, but that's how it seems to me, a humble woodwind player.

Yeah basically what happens is, by vibrating your lips at a different speed you can actually play all of the harmonics.
And when you press a valve ( or several valves )  it changes the length of the tube.
So with each valve combination you get a new harmonic series and in the end you can play all of the notes !

DAMN!     French Horn is a very difficult instrument to master and you, sir, have done so.   

I assume that you make a living playing French Horn.  You are too good for it to just be a hobby.
