The flute making adventure!
Bamboo is such a special grass! It's begging to become a musical instrument, and I try to facilitate its way. Being 100% natural, each bamboo flute is a guaranteed challenge, since special attention must be given to the individual properties of each one.
To me, the philosophy of making a flute out of bamboo is aligned with a sense of respect and communion with nature, never forcing the plant to become whatever I may want, but instead trying to maximize its potential given the shape. The process ends up being a metaphor for the values of persistence and respect. It's a permanent journey of learning.
I developed a special interest for exotic scales, such as the Kokin-Joshi, Akebono or
the Arabian. These are great meditative and melodic modes, that will always sound soothing no matter the fingering, making them very pleasent to play :)
Native American Style Flutes are also part of my interest, as well as the Andean Quenas and, of course, the transverse flutes. Any of the them can come with a major, harmonic minor, pentatonic or exotic scale :)
It's a profound feeling to be able to "engrave" a culture in a flute.
