THE FAR SKY nominated SONG OF THE YEAR"

Because of my background in Ethnomusicology, I have developed a commanding respect for music of all cultures. I fell in love with the Native American Flute and the incredible tone with which it sings. I wanted to make an album utilizing this instrument for those needing to focus on Peace, meditation, and the growing need we have to be kind to ourselves. Consequently, I focused on this tonal "internal flow" the instrument seems to bring out of me. I approached some of these songs utilizing a slight chordal approach by using instruments in other keys in combination. I also utilized some "half holing" techniques in order to gain the use of variances on its pentatonic scale. I was especially interested in the way the flute sounded using middle eastern scales. Many flutes in many keys were used by makers such as STELLAR, HIGH SPIRITS, RAYMOND REDFEATHER and others. At my web site I try to go further in depth about the makers of the flutes. There are also my other 8 albums as well as poetry, and photos of the guitars and other stringed instruments I build.
