Light on the Leaves: Music for Native American Flute
On our visits to the American southwest I have always found myself enchanted by the sound of the Native American flute music that is so much a part of the character of that area of the country. During one trip I purchased several recordings by the flutist R. Carlos Nakai and listened to them repeatedly. The Native American flute has a soulful sound that is meditative, relaxing, uplifting and inspiring. I was so taken by it that in 2011 I ordered a Native American style flute built of western cedar by Miguel Medina of Singing Tree Flutes in Oregon. From the moment I played it I was in love!
In 2013 I released my first album of music for Native American flute, River Waves. Now, ten years later, a new album is finished. Light on the Leaves is a collection of ten songs, three of which were co-written by my friend David Nedwidek who is also featured on guitar. In addition to flute I am playing other instruments including frame drums, shakers, rain stick, piano and synthesizer strings.
