Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Movement 2. Kevin Sumner sent me a track of Mandolins, Guitars and Bass playing this piece of music. I played the first violin part on flute to Kevin's instruments. Listen also to Kevin Sumner's inspiring recording of Movement 4 :https://soundcloud.com/dunlooser/eine-kleine-nactmusik-iv-rondo-allegro
The project is dedicated to my Dad who loves this Mozart music and my flute playing.

Love me if you can
Love me now and then
Love me if you want
Love me if you don't

Love me if you care
Love me if you dare
Love me from afar
Love me where you are

Take one step closer
One more step please
One small step closer
One more little step to me

Love Me

Recorded live at the Willow Jazz Club in Somerville, MA (circa 1986).

DIALOGICAL

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

You say to me
Te echo de menos
I say to you
Don't be so zealous

I have the power
Don't disrespect me
Delete my number
If you still love me

Made my decision, stick by the rules
Live how I'm meant to, follow the cues
Let go of illusions, now I can see
A renaissance, stronger version of me

You say to me
Te echo de menos
I say to you
Don't be so zealous

I have the power
Don't disrespect me
Delete my number
If you still love me

A silly girl became a wise woman
Free, breathing, happy, perfectly human
Don't need a partner to spin in this dance
Don't need a lover to have a romance

You say to me
Te echo de menos
I say to you
Don't be so zealous

I have the power
Don't disrespect me
Delete my number
If you still love me

If You Still Love Me

The Japanese system for counting higher numbers is based on the decimal progression grouping into sets of 4 zeros: 10,000 (万), 100,000,000 (億), etc, rather than 3. I was always fascinated why, particularly because in Japan 4 is not a popular number due to its "on" reading... This song will not delve into further exploration of this topic but the influence is apparent in the title - ichiokukai.

Tell me once, now tell me twice
Tell me hundred million times
All those hundred million lies
I long to hear

When you talk the way you do
I don't care if it comes true
All I care about is you
When you're so near

Hush, my heart
Don't jump out just yet
Hush, my heart
Time and again you forget

Tell me fast, now tell me slow
All those things I wanna know
Say you never let me go
I'm ready to believe

When you talk the way you do
I don't care if it comes true
All I care about is you
I'm ready to forgive

Hush, my heart
Don't jump out just yet
Hush, my heart
Time and again you forget

Tell me once, now tell me twice

Hundred Million Times (一億回)

.... my love of the flute, (and my addiction to playing one), has consumed most of my life..

In the early '80's,  my focus widened from playing and performing, into modifying and eventually creating my own instruments, which are based upon my playing style..

The "Duet/FluteJazz" album was recorded live, (in two different clubs) in Boston and Cambridge, MA (circa 1986). The flute I am playing on is Williams flute #1, the first of about 200 I have made. 

The flute effects are controlled via ten foot pedals during the performance. It was pretty radical at the time, but I think the music still works..

Soundcloud (and the denizens thereof) is my first destination each morning and my last stop every night...

Peace to all my friends ..
