Hoot Owl Ostinato

 Hoot Owl Ostinato

Moody and melodic instrumental tune that includes calls of owls and hawk. Composed and performed by Kitty Allen on pedal harp, C flute, bass flute, penny whistle, melodica, keyboard and laptop.

Available on Spotify, Apple Music and most digital music platforms. Enjoy! 

Inspired by autumn night walks with barred owl serenades. Sometimes a solo performance. Often a call and response. Whatever the mix, always a listening pleasure.

Owls and their abstractions as observed when out and about.

Tribute to a family musical heirloom. This Keefer silver-plated brass trumpet has flourished through four generations and has been played (with various levels of proficiency) by friends and family since the 1920s. Manufactured in Williamsport, PA, it has occasionally been heard with the added effect of a Zanetti mute attached to its bell.

For more information on the Keefer Music Company and to experience a variety of trumpet performances, please enjoy the videos included below.

An homage to a beautiful antique French mantle clock. Still ticking when wound tightly by key. Still loudly chiming on every quarter hour. Still keeping incorrect time with a flare of nonchalance and independence. Whatever suits you, old girl. Tick on.
