Paris Blue: A Memoir of First Love is the debut novel from flutist Julie Scolnik, detailing her own experiences of music and love in the City of Lights in the 70s. I read the entire thing, and break it down here.

This story of manipulative teachers, abuse, affairs, love, orchestras, conductors and wine couldn’t be more French; and I enjoyed every second of it.

A recent study examines if the hyper focus people with ASD experience is similar to creative flow, and the results have been a huge vindication for autistic people.

I look at the 2 phenomena, the results of the study and the RTA method used. It’s a happy wee episode, finally.

The discourse in the modern flute world is often one of anger, dismissiveness and blind adherence to “objective” science.

After a brief history of western patriarchal society, I look at how it’s remnants are the reason why much of this discourse is carried out by white, middle-aged lads and attempt to find a solution.
