My musical projects I have dabbled a bit in music since I on a whim decided to start learning to play the recorder in 1995. Since then it has been a minor hobby of mine, always playing a secondary role to my other expressions of creativity. In 2002, I discovered Native American flutes more or less coincidentally while looking at what different ethnic woodwinds there was out there by surfing the web, and after hearing a sound clip, I ordered one and really enjoyed it. After a bit of research and trying out a few different makers of Native American style flutes, I found Woodsounds Flutes, which - in my view - simply make the very best ones available. Unlike many other instruments where the aim of the makers is to make them all sound alike, these flutes have a lot of personality and individuality, down to differences in wood and how they are worked. Because of this, their subtlety of expression and joyous simplicity of improvisation with their pentatonic scale, they have become my favourite instruments to play. When I am not painting or taking pictures these days, I am working on some sketches of music, formalising improvisations, putting melodies to some of my poems, and exploring the creative possibilities inherent in Apple's Guitar Band and Logic Studio - work that will eventually culminate in at least one self-produced, probably ethnic-styled, album. Like with all my other creative work, my driving force is not any prospect of making money from it, but rather the enjoyment of doing something creative that gives me pleasure and that I might eventually share with others. |
