Description
This song is the second of three that I played on the Native American flute in honor of the season of Autumn. The first, Perigee, has been posted. this one is also played on the Native American flute, but in a non-traditional style. I have three flutes playing together, and some background of a flock of Canadian geese who gather at a nearby pond. (Along with the sound, I got lots of interested looks from passersby, and goose poo on my shoes.) I remember as a kid, we'd sit on the rolled up snow fence, and watch the geese fly across the sky as if it was a parade. There aren't as many 'fly overs' here, but I still get that nostalgic stab in my chest whenever I hear their far off call, and then see a skein of them pass over our house.
The three flutes are all played by myself, sometimes in canonic style, sometimes in harmony, and sometimes with a backing ostinato. The micing has been tricky, but I'm getting better at placement and volume. You will hear some extraneous sounds from the goose track, that's the sound of a small cataract and us pulling the oars of our small boat up, so we could listen better. (No, it's really passing cars and the wind hitting the mic cable up against the stand, but if you try hard enough, you can make it sound like you're out on the lake.)

I like this one as well as its twin ;) The three tracks sync up well and the harmonies resonate nicely. I grew up in an area with lots of fly overs in the Fall and Spring, the sound was sometimes deafening :) We have geese in CT but they mostly live year around at golf courses and office building ponds. Plenty of poo LOL
Thanks
