#FindsFriday! One of the oldest known musical instruments in the world: a #Palaeolithic#flute made from a #vulture bone some 38,000 years ago! This is one of eight known flutes found on the Swabian Jura. The finds suggest that music played an important role in this region.
Found in the Hohle Fels cave near Schelklingen.
On display at Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren.
He was also an oil painter, w pieces so macabre and surreal they'd make John Carpenter blush
(I'll leave you to search for them on your own {if you dare...})

*A street musician making music for tips. This one is special as it was bought in person by @Anguwalters' web guy 16 years ago. Only art prints available.
After I bought it we kept in touch and pretty soon I made the website. I never expected to become an art patron but here we are.
New on this server, so here’s a little #introduction: I’m Jean-Christophe, aspiring #apple developer, #bsd enthusiast, #baroque#flute student and absolute lover of my #dog.
Glad to be here.
I was just doing some improvising on #fujara, so figured why not share some of its wonderful #music. And yes, there's a distinct possibility one of these great #flutes, the national #instrument of #Slovakia 🇸🇰 is taller than you. They are often between 180-200cm (from just under 6ft to 6ft 6), though there are smaller models too. The smallest I've come across was a travel model in F and about a metre long (around 3ft 3), which is still longer than most flutes. Funny though. It's a shepherd #flute, sometimes played while walking up to the mountain pastures, so size didn't seem to be an issue before.
The fujara only has 3 finger holes, yet because of using various levels of overblowing, they have a range of over 3 octaves, though the middle 2 are the most useful musically-speaking. Due to using more overblowing, it’s often referred to as a bass overtone flute. I don't agree with this classification, because in that case most flutes will be overtone flutes too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySDNqiZyVqU

this is an arrangement of "birdsong", a simply gorgeous composition by the late drummer paul motian, combined with a recording from my parents' back garden i made in 2020. it was just meant to be a test of this idea, but it got a bit out of hand
