Graffiti Heaven Improv

For me, this is where it’s at: exploring unusual sites in Toronto, flute in hand: it’s like tagging with sound!

This burned out church on Shaw Street – a derelict site for at least three years and slated for proverbial condos development for almost as long – should actually be a U.N.E.S.C.O. site, don’t you think?

Here is UNESCO’s Canadian Content in today’s news: congratulations Nova Scotia on this new historic designation for the Joggins Fossil Cliffs!

Perhaps it is all of the international intrigue that reminds me of The Man From U.N.E.S.C.O.?

Tagging with sound! I was sitting on a dock in the middle of the night with few of my friends the other weekend and we were discussing the idea of noise graffiti becoming the next big trend; driving up to Muskoka in the wee hours of the night, finding a nice placid lake, and then unleashing a beautiful melody upon the sleeping cottage goers! It would be quite the challenge for them to catch you. It would almost be worth the 6 hour investment…

haha, anyways, here’s that band I was telling you about,

They have lovely flute in some songs!

chet, thanks for the idea, and some late-night tagging-with-sound off a dock might help make up for all the noise pollution from those infernal sea-doos! As far as it goes, I’m still trying to hone the sound of the loon on my flute to strike up a conversation when given the opportunity. Thanks for the link to the foxxxxes, had almost forgotten about them, and they sound pretty eclectic, will listen more, especially if there is flute involved!!
