Some CBC Newfoundland and Labrador love for the new album, DON’T LET ME FALL TOO FAR. An interview with lovely Weekend AM host, Heather Barrett for “First Listen”. We play some of my tunes and speak about the new album, touring, the gear I use, what it’s like to pursue a music career that’s totally outside of the box and why I love the St. John’s music scene so darn much. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-72-weekend-am/clip/15745011-rozalind-macphail-plays-the-flute-but-thats-just-her-starting-point

Flute Love for “Fragments” on Exclaim and BBC Radio 6
It’s been an exciting time with the highly-anticipated album release of SIGHT by Toronto’s Pick A Piper. Caribou musician, Brad Weber invited me to record flute for his Pick a Piper track, “Fragments”. I sent him my flute takes with a twist. I recorded it for effected alto flute and focused on the percussive sounds I could create from the instrument. Looks like this great track is getting lots of love all over the world, including by the fine folks at Exclaim and BBC Radio 6 Music‘s 6 Music Recommends w/ Tom Ravenscroft. Right on Pick A Piper aka Brad Weber. Digging that the Ali Ryerson Gemeinhardt Musical Instruments alto flute is getting sexy spins around the world.

Showcasing at Contact East
For many years, I’ve been applying to showcase at Contact East through the Atlantic Presenters Association. This conference is the best opportunity for showcasing what I do in front of over 150 international, national and regional presenters. I’ve been invited to pitch “Flute Loops & Film”!!! Looks like this Gemeinhardt Musical Instruments flute looper is going to perform sweet sweet music to silent film for a 3rd time this year. I could not feel more grateful! An opportunity to take my audio-visual show to more theatres, schools and music festivals – where my heart is!
