In the lab
As usual, my blog is http://www.elkvoice.com/flute_blog
I’ve been spending some time in the music lab these days. I was just going through some older unmarked powwow recordings I’ve kept in my archives. I came across some really good live material recorded out at Prairie Band Pottowatomie dinner dances. Those were fun days. We would all get together to sing way out in the countryside.
At any rate, I’ve now able to pull those recordings from tape and convert these files into wav and then mp3. The real trick is categorizing these files into some sort of system I can review. The cool thing about this is being able to then pull my favorites out of this libary and import into my iTunes. Then the whole thing lands on my iPod. Talk about cruising material.
Going through some of these old songs brings to mind some older flute songs I had forgotten. In the past I had also found potential flute melodies in some of those old round dance songs…just re-adapting favorite melodies and emotions.
It’s all good. Hopefully, this will lead me back into composing some new material. All seems quiet on that front for now.
