i was thinking about the flute after listening to xhol's grille today.
there is something about the sound of this instrument that i find very humble and innocent (if that is possible).
when i hear flutes i feel instantly at ease, swept into a different space, like an old friend. it's almost as if it were from another time, actually, and i wouldn't be surprised if were the oldest instrument. played by the breeze before there were hands to fashion it!
i won't go into indian music because i know next to nothing about it, but if you've heard the bansuri you'll know that in the right hands that's the ticket to bliss.
and the last track on the master musicians lp.
and the bird motive in peter and the wolf.
there is a lot of indonesian music along the lines of the xhol track, incidentally, very calm and nocturnal. they hit a certain part of the brain with this one, i think, crickets and flutes (but that's another subject).
