Almost completely plucked
A harmless bit of Classical / NeoClassical (who knows 🤔) fun…

Comments
i like the oboe. good stuff
That was really pleasant to listen to. Thanks Tony.
Well you certainly didn’t pluck this one up…
That’s a nice combo of instruments - always good to hear unusual arrangements when thought has gone into how they will work.
Very nice. Whatever it’s called, i like!
Great melody. It really stays in my head. I like the little improv near the end, then back into the melody. I thought the oboe sounded a bit more like a soprano sax. Very well done.
That oboe player's got some lungs! Great choice of instrumentation contrasting the bowed and plucked and I particularly like the kalimba. I agree with @Paulieworld that the oboe does sound like a soprano (when you introduce some pitch bend). But there again a lot of soprano saxes can sound like an oboe in certain registers. This could be a sketch for an extended piece. It's a like from me.
Thanks @egobeats , @jwmmakerofmusic , @michael_m , @Dav , @Paulieworld and @AndyHoneybone 🙏
This one was quickly done so I’m surprised it’s got so many comments… just proves you can’t predict the unpredictable!
I think the oboe was just the default SWAM setting Paul but I know what you mean about the sounds.
I keep forgetting Andy that a) human beings have to breath and b) not all instruments can bend notes 😊
I tried to make something similar last night using bells and it was absolute ass. Really made me appreciate yours a lot.
Well plucked, I would switch the oboe for an far-away-hard-dist-guitar any day of the week but that's just me..
Don’t want to be getting a reputation as the woodwind police 😊 - just sharing what I know to help with realism. Of course the laws of physics are there to be broken in the virtual world of AU’s if that’s an artistic choice. I’ve not played a double-reed so I had to look up pitch bending on an oboe. It’s possible by relaxing the jaw or sliding a finger to part-open a tone hole. About a semitone is all you’ll get but it’s possible to link to adjacent notes to approximate a glide. I think that would count as an extended technique.
While I’m here, there is also the technique of circular breathing allowing the production of a continuous tone without interruption by simultaneously inhaling through the nose and expelling air from the mouth using air stored in the cheeks. John Surman was a master but it’s not commonplace.
I was going to mention circular breathing Andy ( @AndyHoneybone ), I’m a big fan of Mr Surman, but I thought it was a bit of a cheat on my part 😊
More than happy to be the recipient of your knowledge and thoughts 👍
