Now, I'm not normally the kind of person who would post something like this. I have had some experience with the electronic side of music, way, way back, but these days I mostly prefer to let sleeping electrons lie. But I received this email from an old customer. I think I should let him speak for himself, with perhaps just the observation that I opened the link with some trepidation, but, as it transpired, with no need. It's meditative rather than confronting, and I enjoyed the contrast of the round flute sounds with the more edgy synth backing. Here's Michael....
Hi Terry,
How's it going? I am still using the flute you made for me 20ish years ago on some projects. I am using it in a live stream performance next week in Singapore, and I thought you might be interested to see how your work is being used. Here is a video of an improvisation I did with it while practising for next week's performance. It is obviously not ITM, but the flute complements the sound of the electronics quite well, I think. I hope everything is going well for you over there on the pacific coast...
Regards
Michael Spicer

With a toot on the flute and a twiddle on the fiddle
Hopping in the middle like a herrin on the griddle
Up, down, hands around and crossing to the wall
Sure hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball

Our local independent radio station has New Age music two mornings a week, and I have it programmed to wake me up in a gentle way. Thus I get to hear quite a bit of this kind of music, and he seems right up there with other people working in the area. He gets a nice tone. Is he using an SM58?
Goes to show that a good instrument can fit into many different musical contexts.
