Every performance is like building a sandcastle - Podcast 176 with Melissa Keeling

When you break open your old mindset, you'll find anything is possible. Part 2 of the 5 week 'Summer' looking back though our podcast archives.  This week we are back to a podcast #106 recorded in March 2020 where Jean-Paul talks to NY based electric flutist and author Melissa Keeling about the unique 'Glissando' flute headjoint and the new tutor book on it that she has just written.  How it can open up so many more performance possibilities especially when paired with looping and effect pedals. We also listen during the podcast to some of Melissa's chosen works on the Glissando headjoint as well as with looping and effect pedals. 'Talking Flutes' and 'Talking Flutes Extra' and podcast productions by the Trevor James Flute Company.  For more information visit www.trevorjamesflutes.com
