This is a simple fifth phrase in the key of гusing dodeca notation: a д b c φ d đ e f г g љ(although it's played rather out of tune). The flute is made of red cedar and tuned to г.
A little recording i made, as the reeds of my first bass duduk begin to open for me a bit. It's mp3, like the cedar flute recording, but it's hq and maybe useful, in bits, for sampling.
I was at a human trafficking conference and to thank the people the first nations people of the area sang this song for a long time brushing the participants with cedar boughs and smudging. I caught about half of the singing and drumming. It was done in a large lunch room with about 100 people attending in the late afternoon. I recorded the sound with my lumix fz200. Location was in surrey british columbia.
This recording is really not great. But i really wanted to capture the frog jam. . . As i was listening i kept thinking about how frogs can teach us about rhythm and wondered if some indigenous or any people ever patterned drumming after frogs. . . These frogs are going to town. . . Hope you can at least hear some of their music on here. It was a full moon night and just by chance we found ourself in a pretty quiet park because of the rains before.
