Spooky Music for Halloween

Happy Halloween!

In the spirit of the day, I invite you to play a virtual theremin.

Rob Wright's internet experiment: CLARA, is a playable internet instrument based upon the theremin. Use the mouse to test the instrument - control the on-screen hands, (left hand controls volume, right hand controls pitch). The hand movement can be recorded and replayed. The instrument has a 3 octave range.

This is one of many fun and interesting links found in the Playground at my website.

If you want to see a real theremin played by a real theremin virtuoso, Pamelia Kurstin, check out this YouTube video:



Enjoy!

Star Wars and the Alexander Technique

Greetings!

I serendipitously found this brilliant video when searching for another.

It might be of particular interest to those involved with The Alexander Technique, but the quotes are very interesting when considered from a variety of contexts.

Enjoy!

John McLaughlin - lotus on irish stream

Greetings,

No, there is no flutist in this video, but this beautiful performance video from the 1970's, exemplifies masterful listening, amazing instrumental facility, and sensitive ensemble playing from all the musicians.

John McLaughlin is one of my favorite artists of all time.

Hope this makes your day!

Sincerely,
Catherine

Greetings from Kansas City!

Greetings from Kansas City!

The 2008 National Flute Association is already half over.

I have attended many presentations and concerts and thank my fellow NFA members for sharing their talents and ideas. Lot of new ideas and fresh repertoire to try at home…

I have also been enjoying visits and discussions with old and new friends.

If I haven’t seen you already, I hope to see and meet each of you while I am here.

Best,
Catherine
