I went to a different park today. There were guys working and a guy who was getting ready to kayak. He said he enjoyed my flute playing. Which was encouraging. You can hear a lawn mower, wind and birds as background noise:) I was trying to make a short melody and add to it. I liked the melody. What I would have done different would be more space and dynamics. I felt a bit more nervous this time, I think it was because it was a new spot. Exposure therapy in action!!
Now that was really delightful @Sheri Hudgins! I loved your melody, it had a bit of an oriental flavour to it. Really well done, and kudos to you for putting yourself out there! 🙏🎶🥰
I am testing trying to mix a few tracks on Audacity. I liked it overall and I like the spaces. I could definitely improv my skills on the drum, I wish I would have played a stronger last note. Thanks Vic for letting me borrow the Shruti Box! I think I would also, turn the track with the cajon down next time.
I could definitely use more practice with this, but I decided to go ahead and record it. I thought it was fun to play some jazzy sounds, next time I would like to add faster notes. There are also a few notes, that the tone wasn't as nice as I would have liked it.
That was really lovely! I heard a few times, on that little run up at the start of each phrase for sure) where you could have used the “blue note”. Very well done! 🥰🎶
That fellow is pretty darn fluent alright! Looks like a bansuri or similar type of flute, playing over a ‘turn around in C’, so it’s an easy progression to solo with. Just the same, for an open hole, 6 or possible more holed flute, that was very impressive!
