Solo [alto flute]
Scratches of the Wind
Mark Takeshi McGregor
Keywords: breath song
Imagine being inside, hearing the wind trace its fingers across a windowpane. That faint scratchiness sharpens a sense of interior space, of shelter. For wind players, breath carries its own interior world: inhalation and exhalation shape distinct kinds of inwardness. This piece explores that subtle relationship. The whole piece can be heard on Scratches of the Wind with the Red Shift label.
