Relax

A collaboration with composer Harold Peterstofer in Austria and some of my flutes, and some birds in my backyard. Enjoy!

Inside the Bubble

One morning I stepped outside with a laptop and recorded the birds visiting my bamboo grove. Then played my Chinese flute to it. This flute is available at https://eriktheflutemaker.com/collections/flutes/products/chinese-flute
Enjoy!

Chinese Flute: Morning Mist

The Big Banyan (original composition by SinaSiav) was made originally as a soundtrack for Yoga Art of Living Series's 4th Episode (Published in 2020). The inspiration for this song came from the big banyan tree where I used to go for yoga practice and singing practices.
Instruments used in this piece (Flute, Handpan, Vocals, Synth, etc...) played by SinaSiav and recorded, Mixed & Mastered by Navakanu Records.

Hope you will enjoy !

The Big Banyan

In "The Walkabout" I imagined what a soundscape for a traditional Australian Aboriginal's long walking journey through the wilderness, in both a physical sense and a spiritual one, might sound like. I created a nocturnal ambience for the opening with the sounds of crickets and my didgeridoo and from there the piece awakens to a musically rich journey, exploring textures that are more like landscapes. Soon little melodic phrases guide the listener to an eventual unfolding into a beautiful moment of arrival in the joining of acoustic guitar, indigenous flute, and didgeridoo.

The Walkabout

Official videoclip:

The song is called "Rendijas", and evokes several of the musics that have influenced us over the last years, including classical guitar, flamenco guitar and Mediterranean music... 

We composed this song at a time when we were coming out of the pandemic, being aware that nature always breaks through in the face of all adversity, the album cover is a sample of this, to design it I used an aerial photo I took last year in the beautiful space of @hortdelariera.

Recorded in @arcticwave studio with carlosdue.

I have had the joy of making bamboo flutes for 49 years and have handmade over 150,000 wind instruments. It has been an adventure making flutes in Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Brazil, Hawaii, Costa Rica and Fiji, where I got to play for their President. May my music bring you peace and joy.
