Deja-Vu Flute!
Cow Palace Velo-Improv
There was a definite sense of deja-vu as I began to pack up my flute after recording a few pieces in this deserted Cow Palace in Ottawa: such an incredible space!!
Like the Velo-Flute solo that I had improvised while riding my bike in an empty warehouse on the CNE grounds in Toronto, I suddenly realized that this was yet another golden opportunity to conduct an acoustic experiment in the Doppler Effect!
Quickly re-assembling my trusty Yamaha Flute, I set the my Edirol rolling while I embarked on a wonderful, early-morning spin across the polished concrete floor, happily improvising as I rode my trusty Brodie. The Doppler Effect is not really in evidence here, however this bending-pitch phenomena (think of the sound of a passing siren) can be heard in a recent video I posted on YouTube yesterday: Playing Flute on a Skateboard!
