Then finally two weeks from now, other musicians will ad...

I love the whistle sounds the flute can make before the full tone arrives. Here there is a ptich-shifting delay-listening to only the full tones, this then creates a melody from what I've played on the flute.

My first beat recorded with my new tool, a Novation Circuit Rhythm. Thanks Marc for the prompt to explore it a bit deeper. All sounds programmed and performed on the Circuit. Recorded straight in with just a little bit of editing to shorten the overall length (easy to get carried away). Do what you will with this! (bpm 104 or 52....)

Then reversed positions with the recorder and tried to 'talk' with the...
