very cool jam, this gets my vote, this feels very modern and traditional, I can see this style being performed at the next Gathering of Nations powwow or what should be combined with the traditional music...thanks 4 the jam

I ride the rhythm and get lost in the flutes.
I especially like the transition from the 'stabs' back to longer lines near
the end.

I think the long lines at the end presage a followup tune "The natives are
resting" or something like that.

Of space throughout this song. Cool effects.

You're creating a beautiful soundbed with a truly unique sound structure. Your control over this type of flute is remarkable and reminds me of Paul Horn or Alap Jetzer's works. I could easily imagine this piece to serve as a dramatic and suspenseful soundtrack for any Discovery Channel type documentary. Especially liked the percussive sounds, rolls and overtones accentuated by the effects. Very interesting. Doesn't actually sound "restless" to me at all, more "intense" or "focused". Very nice!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I'm glad you're getting as much of a
kick out of this tune as I am.

Am I in Santa Fe or Fant Se? Serious fun, my friend. Sonic tickling.

I don't quite know where you just journeyed me to, but it was
somewhat uncomfortable - It felt like it was too close to the edge of
life at times - Quite frankly, it felt like I ventured into the other side (if
it exists) and it didn't quite want to give me an exit pass - And I
haven't had a virtual smoke in a long time : -) - It really was kinda
creepy - I'm sorry that I had this sort of reaction, but my reaction is not
at all meant to be an offense to you - In fact, it is meant to be a
compliment of sorts - I was transported, I just wasn't so sure if I agree
with the place that I was transported to - A beautiful job of
disengaging me from my reality based anchors - It just kinda
happened and there I was, out there... - I love that! - Quite the array of
fascinating sounds here - Glad that I stopped in - Thanks - Dion

I'll take the compliment of having transported you, but I dont' think I'll take
credit or blame for precisely where you went. In general my music is pretty
abstract. You can assign a mood to it, but I don't have any specific goals in mind
when I write it, other than a vague idea of an atmosphere that I want to create.
This piece, with all its processing, kind of ran away from me. The original flute
improvisation was not restful, but what ever was driving me got amplified many
times by all the effects. Now when I listen to it I hardly recognize the intended
narrative arc of the piece, and I'm along for the ride on my own music.

this is perhaps, a fairly dangerous piece of music. like that movie, The
Ring, listening to this might summon some kind of watery rain spirit or
cause walls to shift in a sudden, almost unnoticable fashion.

Slightly reminiscent of Pink Floyd's, Several Species of Small Furry
Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict,
this is a piece that had to have been designed with great patience and
great care, so not to over-do it and yet maintain it as interesting...
which you do a fantastic job with.

This is a rare, outstanding piece of music that most fans of radio pop
or MTv should be forced to listen to in order to understand what music
is primarily about - communication, emotion, and atmosphere.

thank you for sharing this rare and unique experience. i will hold it
forever!
