Covid Chronicles: Flute Music

These two audio files were shared by Alan, a Kurdish asylum seeker from Turkey who is currently living in the Netherlands. “A friend came by because the lockdown caused him quite a lot of boredom. He remembered my interest in flutes and that I never possessed one. I wasn’t even able to play a single tune back then. But he brought his old recorder flute along and gave it to me for motivation. I started to play and lo and behold I picked it up in a question of days. The first recording was after a week. The second one after a month." ----- This material is part of the Covid Chronicles from the Margins project, funded by The Open University and The Hague.
