A Bamboo Flute From The Burlington Mall
Skirmish: Uncommon instrument (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
Another skirmish cheat - this one took more like two hours even though I had the main idea done in well under an hour. This is why I mostly post guitar/vocal demos! Production is a bottomless well, fun but time consuming.
At any rate, my unusual instruments: bamboo flute, floor tom, banjo (tuned to the flute), plus slide guitar (standard tuning, and not unusual per se).

Like the combo of instruments. Always love a banjo. Great idea to tune it to the flute. It was worth "missing" the skirmish for the production you put into this, it really builds. Music for some cantina stop on a mexican road trip?
Oh -- and I love the title. I assume it's just descriptive, but it conveys such a context.
Oh! How did I miss one from you! Such fun instrumentation and combination. That slide guitar SOUNDS unusual in the. mix, even if it's not unusual for you. Meditative and intriguing.
This is fabulous. It has an east West fusion vibe to it.
I'm laughing over here. Not certain that's the desired response but that bamboo flute has a joyous feel to it. The music is great and it seems like you were having a blast making this. All the instrumentation works well together. I'm hoping you had even half the fun creating this as it feels like you did.
Thanks! I'm glad it made you laugh; I did have fun making it. I'd do more things like this during FAWM if I didn't get so wrapped up in it – and if I had any use for it after February 28 😂. But I'm glad the skirmish prompt got me trying something different, and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!
This is so funky! I didn’t know you played banjo.. this the first time I’ve heard it on FAWM! Anyway, this is such a vibe. Can imagine it being used in a movie scene, maybe the character is a modern cowboy/cowgirl strutting down the street, stopping every now and then to greet passers by, with a charming yet slightly unhinged demeanour!
