The flute has always been the lightweight companion of wanderers, wind-whipped shepherds and homeless gypsies playing to a lonely immensity of stars. Flutes are certainly more of the mountain and open pasture than of the street or living-room and when they are played in more civilised surroundings often seem a sound in exile, from another world or another, more inward dimension - from cosmic rather than merely social strata of our being.
