Cool sound effect (sound clip)

Last spring I discovered a new sound effect that I have never heard anyone else do before. I start with the fingering for high D ( -X OXX XOO, ) and bend the note down to G. If you keep your embochure just right you can get it to work, but it has to be EXACTLY right. It's also perfectly easy to just finger D and have your embochure in the right position already, but it's probably easier to learn it by bending down to it. I think the sound effect comes from a clash between the G that you're bending down to and a G that's slightly off-pitch (multiphonics).

Here's me doing it:
