 (Untitled Improv, Native Flute)

Happy Victoria Day, Canadian readers! Here’s some North American First Nations’ Flute for you – this cedar flute was brought back by a student from New York City a few years ago, and its voice is subtle yet deceptively powerful. While developers and local Residents Associations squabble over land use and heritage issues in the Yorkville area, like kids fighting over a toy that’s not theirs, the sound of this flute might help keep us honest!

Not so much painting with sound as with the emotion of this empty, desolate space.
