Flute stories
Posted in Flute Music, tagged Anasazi, flute, Native American Flute, school, shakuhachi, zuni on November 28, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I have occasionally been doing flute presentations at schools, for second grade and up. These presentations are a combination of story-telling and music performance. I select the three main flute types that I am most familiar with: 1) the Native American flute 2) the Japanese shakuhachi flute 3) the Anasazi flute There’s magic in the [...]
The AC-33

I bought a Roland AC-33 acoustic guitar amplifier this week. To be used with my flutes. Wow, what a nifty handy thing it is. It runs on 8 AA batteries, it has stereo speakers, and it is light enough that I could lug it around on the subway if necessary. It sounds crystal clear. I [...]

This is the eleventh flute CD, called Cantos. The singing flute. Now not to worry: only one song actually uses the human voice (mine).The track in question is The Lodge. You might want to skip that one. On this album I have been concentrating on slightly repetitive patterns and putting them into delayed parallel tracks. [...]
Breathing sound
Posted in Flute Music, tagged Anasazi, breath, flute, Native American Flute, shakuhachi, sound on May 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
When playing the flute there is a connection with an invisible bank of music. The music, its feelings, its vistas, gets channeled in a sense. Music is manifesting in sound, but of course already exists before it manifests. This is a key point. There is no method here, no how-to. It’s a gift, I didn’t [...]

Art is the activity most open to God’s influence. Here is CD #10 with flute music: Episodes. The new development is that I have a good number of tracks on this CD where flute is accompanied by guitar. That changes the style of the music drastically.

Flow and vibration

A wind instrument, like a flute, creates sound from the air coming out of the lungs, hitting a sharp edge that changes the flow of the air dramatically. The flow comes first, the vibration of air making sound comes second. A string instrument, like a guitar, creates sound by setting a string vibrating. The vibration [...]

A fascinating newspaper entry from the year 1898: “Benjamin K. Wetherill, an old residenter, an excellent citizen and a good friend went to the realms of mystery at 4:30 this morning.” (The Mancos Times, Nov 18, 1898) We will all go there. .

I have signed up for 12-day Mid Winter Fast vision quest in February 2011. Organized by the School of Lost Borders. Takes place in Death Valley, California.

What’s up with this flute? How is it different from the Native American flute? The Native American flute (NAF) is considered to be a relatively recent development. No more than 200 years of history. The modern version of it is tuned in a pentatonic minor scale. It has a fipple or bird, making it real [...]
