Details:
In "The Storyteller" Roger''s voice is that of his handmade flutes, the haunting melodies are a blend of contemporary and traditional Native Flute sounds that speak to our souls with the voice of our ancestors. Each song was born with it''s own personality and own story to tell. All Flutes, Drums and Rattles used on this CD were handcrafted by Roger in his studio at WIND DANCER FLUTES. A professional sculptor, Roger often found inspiration in the variety of music he listened to while sculpting. He was particularly captivated by the haunting tones of the Native American Flute. He set out to learn as much as possible about the small instrument with the powerful voice. His plan was to make just one flute for himself. His "flute journey" had just begun! "Being a self-taught artist, I feel the culmination of all my passions harmonized; sculpting, wood work, leather work, wood burning, bead work, painting, music.....all found in this beautiful instrument, what more could one ask?" At WIND DANCER FLUTES, Roger creates all his flutes by hand,using files, chisels and hand tools to shape the wood. All holes are burned in with a hot metal rod. The artwork, painting, wood burning and sculpture are done by free hand. After completing the art, the flute is then coated with a non-toxic finish inside and out to protect from moisture, then coated with bees wax for added protection. As many of his clients are recording or performing artists, Roger uses an electronic tuner to insure the flutes are of concert quality in sound and tone.
