Flute Guy is jazzed about the love he got for viral Game Awards performance YouTube: thegameawardsThe 2022 Game Awards spawned a few viral moments, but no one took over Twitter quite like #FluteGuy \u2014 and it looks like he\u2019s pretty pumped about all the love he got online. Once a year, The Game Awards recognize the industry\u2019s best and brightest releases, doling out accolades for such achievements as Best Narrative, Innovation in Accessibility, and of course, Game of the Year. This year, Elden Ring took home the coveted GotY spot, sweeping the 2022 Awards alongside God of War Ragnarok. The Awards themselves aren\u2019t the only notable aspect of the show, though; they also feature a slew of trailers for upcoming titles and live performances from music artists, as well as a yearly orchestral roundup of music from GotY nominees. The 2022 orchestral performance piqued interest across the internet as viewers couldn\u2019t help but notice one particularly enthusiastic flutist on stage, who seemed to pull out a different instrument for each song (which he would then subsequently play with wild abandon). Twitter was instantly set alight with oodles of memes recognizing the flutist\u2019s impressive performance, with many users choosing to focus on him rather than the storm stager who hijacked Hidetaka Miyazaki\u2019s GotY speech. He\u2019s not just any old flute player, though; fans quickly discovered that the flutist\u2019s name is Pedro Eustache, a Venezuelan musician and flute soloist who has built or modified many of his own instruments (over 600 of them, in fact) and even worked alongside legendary composer Hans Zimmer for the DUNE soundtrack. #FluteGuy responds to viral memes on Twitter after Game Awards performance It looks like Eustache took notice of all the love he was getting over on Twitter and uploaded a quick video to thank his newfound fans following his viral performance at the 2022 Game Awards. \u201cHey, this is Pedro Esutache, you guys know me as \u2018Flute Guy,’\u201d he said in his video. \u201cI just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your absolutely amazing response all over social media after the Game Awards of last night. God bless you!\u201d Fans were quick to reply to Eustache\u2019s heartwarming video with even more posts congratulating him on his flute skills. The flute, its melodies and the people who play them are incredibly important to both the soundtrack and overall themes of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Thank you for doing them justice with your performance. It was an honor seeing you do them all justice last night, thank you. pic.twitter.com\/Fo628G9c1B \u2014 THE WIND BLOWS (@Luxin_Xeno) December 9, 2022 Your performance last night during Xenoblade 3\u2019s music was absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for pouring your heart into it and I hope to see you back next year too! \u2014 Aero (@ActualAero) December 9, 2022 What a legend. He mastered the 4 flutes. pic.twitter.com\/SD1ZOMuPmd \u2014 Fizzwin (@FizzwinCH) December 9, 2022 Here\u2019s hoping we see much more of #FluteGuy in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
