"Fnugg is the best new thing I've heard in years." Roger Bobo Baadsvik about the word Fnugg: "Fnugg started as an improvisation with elements from the Australian Aboriginal instrument didgeridoo and Norwegian folk music. The techniques I use are multiphonics (to sing and play simultaneously) and my own invention "Lip Beat" (percussive tuba). The singing involves active use of syllables. Fnugg is a Norwegian word describing something very small and weightless. Like a snowflake."
