Wind Weaver

Buy the CD here

On beautiful Vancouver Island you can hear the ethereal and haunting sounds of the Native American Flute weaving its way into and around the magical sounds of an acoustic guitar as Wind Weaver performs their unique blend of music.

Terry Mack, Native American Flute player and Paul Bezooyen, acoustic guitar player form this unique duo.A serendipitous opportunity to jam together resulted in an incredible synergy unfolding between the two unique writing and playing styles of both artists.

Terry’s music honors the traditional style of the Native American Flute beautifully, however her music also pushes beyond, delving into a wide range of genres including folk, celtic, medieval and Jazz. Terry has been inspired by Mary Youngblood, Mark Holland and Autumn’s Child, Scott August and R. Carlos Nakai. Terry travels to Native American Flute Festivals throughout North America and introduces the beautiful sound of Native American Flute music to everyone.

Paul is a veteran songwriter who throughout his career has written for television and other audio visual productions. He has released two solo CD’s. Paul’s guitar style and lyrics are heavily influenced by Joni Mitchell and Bruce Cockburn. With these and other talented artists as inspiration Paul has crafted a very personal style of his own.

This recent collaboration of musical exploration and experimentation between Terry and Paul has blossomed into the newly established duo “Wind Weaver”.

Wind Weaver is excited, thrilled and honoured to learn today that our CD, Wild Threads has been nominated for the Vancouver Island Music Awards, Instrumental Album of the Year.

The award ceremony will be held June 23 at the Vancouver Island Business Music Conference in Courtenay, BC.

In August, Terry attended Flute Quest, a wonderful festival featuring Native American Flutes. There are great makers there, wonderful people, lots of good workshops and learning opportunities, some paid and lots for free and a New Breath Stage. This year, Terry played two times on this stage. At the end of the festival, whe was delighted to be voted by those attending the event as the best performer on the New Breathe Stage. Congrats to Terry ( and of course to Paul as Terry was playing with back tracks of Paul’s beautiful guitar).

The internet and the amazing technology allows for some wonderful ways to share music and song. Here is a link in which Terry is playing a duet live on blog tv. The host, Rod Krug is playing a deep bass A fluteand Terry is playing a higher A flute. Rod is in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Terry is in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island in BC Canada. It worked really welll considering the distance these two places are apart.

I am a member of the Native American Flute Portal and Wind Weaver’s music is posted on that site. We have a number of fans who also belong to that portal and own our CD, Wild Threads. Recently, Rex Gideon, approached us with a copy of Paul’s song Welcome with his own flute song dubbed over it. Paul and I were both excited that Wind Weaver music is inspiring people to play along.
Here is the post from the NAF flute portal, along with his lovely rendition of the song ( at the bottom of the post)

“welcome”
I am a big fan of “Wind Weaver” - Terry Mack & Paul Bezooyen.
I have their CD “Wild Threads” and love all the songs on it, but there is this one track where Paul plays on his acoustic guitar without Terry playing.
As I listened to this album over many times I couldn’t resist picking up a flute to play along with this solo guitar track “welcome”.
I’ve been playing along with it for a couple weeks now, so today I recorded it and sent a MP3 to Terry explaining how much I adored it, and if it would be possible to share it with you folks.
Terry and Paul both responded back with “Yes, you may”!….So I am very honored!

“Hello Rex,
Just wanted to let you know that I was thrilled to hear what you added to my guitar instrumental “Welcome”. I believe music is for sharing - and I love the magic that happens during musical collaboration. You have brought something very complementary to the piece. Share as much as you like. I think Terry wants to get this on our website… It’s a great story about the power of music to bring people together.
Thanks Paul Bezooyen.”

“How exciting to know that other people are inspired to play along to Paul’s song Welcome. It is a favorite of mine.
In harmony, Terry Mack”

So here is my collaboration with Paul’s “welcome” track 9 on the “Wild Threads” CD! smile.gif I hope you enjoy it!

Wind Weaver is delighted, excited and ecstatic to announce that our song, ‘Aerial Wanderer’ will be in the film Finding Aloha 2. The film is directed by Phil Waller and is being released in early 2010. The film focuses on world class surfers and has some fantastic film footage of the giant waves that surfers dare to challenge.

Here is a link to the trailer for the first Finding Aloha Film.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2oUbW0uc9I&feature=related

Writer and Director Philip Waller embarks on an adventure to the mecca of surfing, the North Shore of Oahu. After years landlocked and uninspired by life in Los Angeles, Philip calls an old friend (Dan Moore) who lives on the North Shore asking if he can stay with him for a few weeks and document the trip. The next day Philip is sitting on a plane flying to Hawaii. “Finding Aloha” tells the story of underground Big Wave surfer Dan Moore and his amazing group of friends, as they search for pure happiness, adrenaline, and the meaning of the Aloha Spirit. Finding Aloha 2 also tells the story of a world class surfer.
