Music Has The Right To Be Forgotten

I tried sleuthing but it's almost impossible to find the exact make as there are countless traditional flute makers out there. Main one is a Mayan double drone flute. He has at least two, bright and dark wood. Looks like Southern Cross or Nash as they make that design but it might as well be custom made in South America. 

His transverse bass flute featured in the cover and promo pics also looks custom made. Ornament looks similar to Southern Cross ones but that's just traditional Mayan jade. 

The digital flute, no idea as there are no photos.

He also plays everything from bamboo and contrabass to regular concert flutes which all look the same regardless of brand.

Ohh neat, thanks. I had no idea about these Mayan flutes.

Lovely album

It doesn’t get any more IDM than this

I'd argue that those track names sound more GY!BE, or perhaps more A Silver Mt. Zion (or is it Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band?).

This was Satie's goal with his musique d'ameublement (furniture music) but people like his stuff too much and continue to listen intently.

 Great listen, he's grounded and in it for the art. I'm enjoying the LP as well!

Yeah this is pretty good, I’m pleasantly surprised! Great track names too and enjoyed GQ interview, he’s a cool cat 

Andre has the longest track to ever hit the Billboard Hot 100

Pretty cool. Confirms ambient music is the ultimate musical genre for illuminated souls.

Danger Mouse needs to chop & screw this album with Big Boi bars

Shit's doope. Some hilarious comments in the FB hiphop community on this.

I'm afraid there's not nearly enough flute on this, as the rest seems to be all rainsticks and cookie-cutter ACME (TM) New Age Synth Sounds of the most generic kind. But maybe I'm missing the point.

Those track titles are just plain wrong though. "Ninety Three 'Til Infinity And Beyoncé"? Jesus.

is this the new boc album??? 

I'd usually avoid a Andre 3000 solo album as I ain't exactly a big OutKast fan but might have to check this out. I'm intrigued.

It's pretty meh imo. Like good on him for branching out, but nah.

It's pretty ok for sleeping on a commute, one of the best.

I guess he's trying to qualify for the 2028 Australian breaking team?
