Re: Nicolas Baldeyrou's Articulation

First let's all realize that he has really high audio production value in his videos (in this one he juxtapositions what looks like a Zoom call in his spare bedroom with his usual high end audio set up). There is a lot of added reverb and delay that one would NOT experience in a small room packed with furniture and stuff.

As pointed out be Ken he is most likely double tonguing. In many cases fast double tonguing across multiple registers doesn't even involve the reed. What happens is that you barely (if at all) touch the roof of your mouth with the front part of your tongue and a point further back on the tongue to achieve what one can only described as just slowing down the air at articulation points. Really, you don't need a full stop of reed vibration when you're hauling it at break neck tempo. It'll sound pretty articulated enough........just like in the video.
