Happy to share any and all winds!

Theremins are awesome! I got mine a long time ago from a friend who bought it and then hated it lol. And thank you, I know it’s just a reverse of the GDC segment this year but the two pieces are too good 😭

Thanks, good to know!! I was literally having to google "how to add transitions in davinci" because I didn't have the resources or time for anything significant, this was just for fun. But in the future...

YouTube video by Field of Reeds I arranged a Game Awards Orchestra medley for the Best Music category

This year I finally arranged a mock @thegameawards.com orchestra medley, but for the actual Best Music/Score nominees because they deserve one :) 🎶 Complete with giant flutes!

Pink aurora behind a palm tree in Central Florida

Hello I am emerging to share that the aurora was visible in *Florida* tonight and I could dance for joy

Comet SWAN

Comet Lemmon

I managed to grab photos of both comets SWAN and Lemmon in the evening sky :)

Sheet music for both the Swan of Tuonella and new Bottlenose Fantasia from ABZU, alongside flowers and an oboe

This weekend I had the honor and exhilaration of soloing with my orchestra to premiere Bottlenose Fantasia, an adaptation of "Delphinus Delphis" from ABZU that was arranged into a full oboe solo feature by @awintory.bsky.social himself & @brianlaguardia2.bsky.social 🐬🦈 The audience loved it!

They're not categorized as woodwinds at all but I want to blur the lines this time for my sake 😭

I can finally let go of my small Destati collection now that I have these

La Scala di Seta

Colorful assortment of kazoos branded with my name and personal "Field of Reeds" logo

For years I've wanted my own woodwinds to hand out at conferences, so I finally ordered some. If you're going to GameSoundCon or GDC and want a special kazoo, come talk to me! 🎶

You assume correctly 😅

Playing Animal Crossing's birthday party while at my orchestra concert...

I look forward to this tiny party every year 🎂

Eagle Feather and Aida Mendoza Native American Flutes

Thank you, and of course! youtube.com/@olvimend?si...

I'll pass along the comment!

Contrabass Native-style flutes aren't terribly common, but you've also got similar sounds from fujara and deep recorders! I'm partial to the low winds

As a tuba player you'd be just fine! I'm an oboist myself, so it's not an issue. Maybe slightly bigger breaths than usual on a flute half its size...

Thanks so much! It feels like it plays itself at times :)

Thank you for listening! :)

Oh I love it! Have you seen DoodkiMusic's? Maybe someday I can get one of those

It's heavy-ish (my wrists are not very strong and you can see the neckstrap I threw together for it). I have several flutes that I've bought/commissioned straight from the artist who makes them, including this one! Simply found his YouTube channel and reached out. There are so many cool flutes :)

This game score is kind of my premiere performance on it! But I'd be open to making some new tracks featuring it

It's diaphragm vibrato, all those same muscles used for coughing/laughing :)

I'm Field of Reeds with like 75% flutes and 25% reeds... Trombone at least suggests brass with a trombone origin story, while Music might be a little too nebulous, but that's just me

I'm often torn about posting stuff like this when The Horrors are ever-present, but if it helps at all that's good enough reason for me! Thanks :)

Three separate airways for the three pipes, so you can play different combos of them!

*have

I'm not sure I understand? It's essentially 3 flutes stuck together. The middle only plays one note, while the two side pipes half a half octave range each (one in B, one in E) to mess with :)

I'm drawn to instruments that look like magical RPG items

❤️❤️❤️
