Flute & Glass Orchestra
East of Peterborough, I re-connected with friends Pete and Gundi, who have a glass sculpture studio in the lower level of their wonderful country abode. I was thinking it would be fun to just record the crystalline sound of the flute reverberating against all the hard surfaces in the space, but this quickly developed into a collaborative event! Ideally, I guess I should have had some kind of historic Crystal Flute to play on, but my circa 19th C wooden 8-keyed did the trick admirably in this duo for flute and breaking glass!
Listen for the sounds of the glass being scored, and then tapped and broken into the the small rectangles that are the building blocks of Gundi‘s amazing and much sought after creations!
