Twenty-three.

For flute.

I could write only for flute for the rest of my life and be a happy man. Normally I would use a short theme like this and, over time, explore all of the timbrel possibilities of the flute, but I'm keeping this short so for now you get only a taste.

Twelve.

Did the recording with the mellow sounds of artificial flute and two marimbas, though it could certainly be for just about anything. Although, the flute does lend itself well to that melody, I think.

The accompaniment part is sort of meandering, though in a meaningful way. I was exhausted when I wrote this (with one eye opened) so I was literally only half focused ... enough that there is a rough harmonic pattern to the marimba parts, albeit a bit hard to discern.

Two.

For your viewing and listening enjoyment ... just barely into what would technically be day 3, but it took me some time to get the image file and sound file created. I really need to figure out a better way of doing this, as the PNG files have always been my least favorite format for images.

I kind of like this one. Playing with more of a focus on intervals and creating tension following some consonant sounds. I'd like to revisit this one once the project is over. Flutes sound wonderful in general so I think this would make a nice duet. It could use further development -- both parts stay within a relatively close range, and it doesn't due the instrument justice considering its flexibility.
