Saluang Flute
The saluang is a bamboo flute of the Minangkabau people of
Western Sumatra, Indonesia. I studied it in preparation for a performance of
Randai, a martial-arts based dance-drama. It has a airy sound, dry and
meditative, and requires circular breathing (breathing in through the nose
while blowing out through the mouth with no break in sound). Through it I lose time.
