Radiant Sun - Douglas Blue Feather

This past December I was up playing my flute in the early hours of a Sunday morning. As the morning went by the first snow of the winter here in Ashburn, Virginia began to fall. I played back the improvisation I had recorded and realized it was a perfect introduction to the scene outside: light, dry snowflakes falling through still air just before dawn. It felt natural to call this one "Before the Snow."

Condor Record’s Dreamscape project is the first in a number of collaborations between Michael Folkert and Sixto Gonzales, a native Ecuadorian specializing in the traditional sounds of South American guitar and pan flutes. The album was recorded in the Andes Mountains in Ecuador and “Mystic Rain” is the culminating track that wraps up Dreamscape’s mystic South American journey. “Mystic Rain” is a dreamy mix of flutes, guitars and percussion that was inspired by an afternoon walk the through a mountain region in Ecuador. 
“Moving through the forest everything was so crisp and clear - the rain, the rushing streams, a Condor flying overhead, the lush vegetation, the smell of a campfire in the distance. In that moment I was surrounded by the music of Mystic Rain.” - Michael Folkert

"I have always been inspired by the natural and spirit worlds.

When I listen to Native American music, or when I play my Native Flute, I feel positive, relaxed, filled with energy and well-being.

Great Spirit expresses what I feel in my Heart: Peace, Love, and great thanks to our Mother Earth."
~ Renaud Schmitt

This song came together earlier this year in Zion Park, Utah. I recorded the Guitar part using my IPad and just recently put some flute to it (home made Em drone NAF). A friend said it reminded him of horses running.

Native American Flute - Visions

Second Wind is a song that represents perseverance. Having experienced many hardships since my first album, Thunder Heart (released in 2006), I have often felt overwhelmed and discouraged. Many times I have thought about giving up my dream of making music. But my heart kept pulling me back to the peace and healing of the Native American Flute. My flutes have supported me through countless challenges. They have guided me through the shadows of grief, walked me into the light and offered a Second Wind.
