Windiez

The Windiez is another creation of instrument maker Richard Bowring. A very simplistic construction that resembles the aboriginal bullroarer but with not exactly the same sound. This instrument instantly addictive from the first spin creates very interesting soundscapes. Richard speaking about it states :

I am a musician and am constantly looking for new instruments and sounds. If they don’t already exist then I create them myself. I attended a concert of Mongolian overtone singing and there I heard an instrument of which the sound immediately transported me to the windy Mongolian plains!

Using this instrument as inspiration, I started to develop my own. Six versions later, each better in form and sound, I eventually ended up with the final version. Whilst making this instrument I needed water very quickly to cool a part of it. I grasped the first bottle of water that was close at hand. Later I realised it was water that I had gathered at a sacred spring in Glastonbury England! What it was doing on my work bench I’ll never know. I have a strong “memory” of being a sword smith (in a previous life ?) and used the self same “magical” water to make the swords even moor powerful. I realised the poetic symbolism, swords to musical instruments !

“Swords to ploughs”

Is this karmic transformation ?
