for flute, amplification, and flute-like objects – with video footage inside metal tubes
In this piece, the performer sucks and blows across the body a flute from the reverse end to the mouthpiece in one long breath. There is a timeline score written above an image of a flute, which gives instructions to the performer along the way. The flute is amplified with a lapel mic to bring out the nuances of the sounds.
The final page offers a variation on the performance, where the flute is replaced with a variety of different flute sized objects, played in succession. The title is a type of object-oriented-ontology, where it is as if the performer is embodying the perspective and sentience of the flute in a quasi-ritual.
There is also a video that accompanies the performance which consists of footage taken from inside different metal tubes. See below a series of still images from the video.
