Nathan ‘Flutebox’ Lee
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Amazing! Those Ragga beats remind me of Jean Pierre Rampal’s collaboration with Ravi Shankar in “Morning Love”. Stunning. Listen on Spotify.
He is coming to Southbank Centre on Friday 25 Sept (Purcell Room).
Check this out for a warm up!
Clangers
Sunday, August 30th, 2009On YouTube, looking at old childrens’ tv programmes, among them the ‘Clangers’. The music caught my attention, being described as having “Debussian strains, with gentle harp and flute exchanges. Read more about the “Clanger Ensemble” on the wikipedia page. I started to look around the ‘net for a score of the music and stumbled upon Abigail Burrow’s website (I think Swarovski will encrust anything). Apparently, she did a concert at Southbank Centre on July 20th 2009, titled ‘Music of the Clangers’. Is that the same clangers? Songkick has a record of the night, but no-one has left any comments. I’ll leave you with a picture of Major Clanger…
Favourite artists
Sunday, August 30th, 2009I’m going to put together a list of my favourite artists. Be grateful if you share your faves, too!
I saw Francesa Canali at the Wigmore last year and found an album on iTunes the other day. Listen to the album on Spotify. I think she plays a gold flute. Anyone know what kind?
