Dialogue for Wind & Flute

Here is an eery dialogue for wind and flute recorded recently during a return visit to Tower Automotive. This majestic building sits abandoned in Toronto’s west end, and is a popular site for urban explorers wanting a unique glimpse of our city’s rich architectural history.

The extreme winter weather gusting through these broken windows created the perfect soundscape for this short improv on my Native American Flute, and, in combination with this almost Dickensian panorama of the Toronto skyline, yielded a most evocative experience .

My playing continued a little longer, but it was so cold that day the frozen batteries in my Edirol died part way through!
