Had to google hulusi - that doesn't look very easy to master, but you seem to have done (very well). As Feter says... meditative. Beautiful composition and nice to hear something so different. Cheers Len Check out my latest song called B E A U T I F U L

Plaintive A plaintive quality for sure, as you suggest. I particularly like the places where you bend notes; they convey an even more powerful quality to me, maybe like a cry for help... no, that's not quite it... anyway, I like it all, particularly those spots. I take it the hulusi is rather like a recorder? Check out my latest song called Momma's Song

Hulusi It's a reed instrument, but the reed is internal. There are two sounding pipes, one drone and one melody, that each have a reed. The reeds are hidden inside a gourd which has the mouthpiece. So you build up the pressure inside the gourd to get those reeds to sound. It's a very sweet instrument. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

Perfect stage for the what was that instrument again? I love the stage you set up for it. Perfect combo of the "pipe" and the syths. Check out my latest song called Try Harder

i must be tripping... This is a very provocative track; the relentless drone reminded me somewhat of shamanistic drumming. After I got past the initial irritation of the constant sound, it started to transport me to another dimension. But then it ended. I wonder what it would be like if you went off in another musical direction after this section? Great stuff. Like a journey. Check out my latest song called Trio for Horn, Violin & Piano

hulusi Very haunting, but gorgeous. I'm unfamiliar with the hulusi and read your description of it with interest. I really love the sound of the instrument - along with all the atmospheric sounds you've added. I agree with Cameron, definitely had the effect of a sort of meditational droning - transporting me into another space of mind. Could have gone on for much longer. Thanks for sharing this.

hulusi The hulusi has one melody pipe and a drone pipe that can stop with your left pinky, a finger that usually goes unused in wind instruments. I start with playing just the melody pipe, then the drone is added, and it ends with only the melody. The synths are Zebra. I'll add that in the description. I didn't want to suggest that everything was a real instrument. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

This is haunting A very evocative, entrancing sound, and a very interesting instrument. Nicely done, playing that! I have to say, I'm with Cameron as far as wondering what this might be like if it turned into something else. Not a criticism, but this feels to me like a killer intro to something. Great sound and production. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

A very intense backscape for the instrument. Are we moving down the river toward the mouth? Should I hold my breath? These are the feelings I get with this. Great drones on the instrument. Check out my latest song called The Unraveling of Mary Alice Frances Parker Brown

the dawn of pipes great playing on that hulusi. never heard of it before but it's pretty cool. I like the droning with the synths as well. it has a bit of a P.F. Wish You Were Here vibe to it. It could of easily slipped into the instrumental section of that album. Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

Compelling Strangely intriguing and - sad - maybe, but moving forward. It's not an indulgent, passive sadness, the energy is almost tangible. Very interesting piece. Listened to it many times and really enjoy the intensity of it. Hope you will do more with these instruments. I like the contrasting qualities of the 'flutes' - both simple and ethereal as well as strong and uncompromising in their expression. Check out my latest song called Tosh Frenzy

hulusi Michael, I have the attention span of a gnat with ADD. If I see something new I abandon what I'm doing, and start exploring it. Someone just happened to mention the hulusi on another forum, so I looked it up, found that they sounded cool and were not terribly expensive, so the next week I had one in house.... New toys! New toys! That's the name of the game. Love you too :-) Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

Very good I like the build up, and the use of real instrument and synth certainly creates a great vibe and cool textures. Nice work Vic, the track (as everyone says) is meditative and introspective. Cool. Check out my latest song called The Apothosis Of Us All (Remix)
