stev123 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 As I sit at work...thinking about flying my kite.. I was also thinking about music..how many of you listen to music as you fly? I was thinking peruvian pan pipes...it's a little slow...but ...man the power! I flew the delta kite yesterday just so I could get something in the air...and flying is kinda primal,..and this music makes me think about some folks who actually flew ancient kites. Do you think it was watching the Condors floating...? Sorry, I'm a historian...and a monkey Steve Quote
Backspin23 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 whenever I'm out flying I usually get my iPod and have some tunes crankin Quote
John Barresi Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah, I'm usually jamming with my mp3's too... Beatles, Prince, blues, disco, funk, rock & roll, you name it. Quote
The Kite Shoppe Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, I'm usually jamming with my mp3's too... Beatles, Prince, blues, disco, funk, rock & roll, you name it. Banjos? T Quote
stev123 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Posted August 3, 2006 Yikes. I really thought the airy pan pipe stuff would touch a "chord"(arrh arrh) Living in Colorado the Mountains and the winds seem to be kind of a magical place. I feel like such an idiot...but I'm not a "newbie" to that feeling Maybe there is sitting in the office kite music,..and then there is "Flying" music... I figure half this crap is in the mind's eye anyway. Why else would we race children to the really cool toys? Steve Quote
John Barresi Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 I like ACDC, Dirty Deeds and TNT. Quote
windofchange Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Just as long as it isn't disco or polka! Quote
John Barresi Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Disco rules! I actually have the entire Saturday Night Fever album on my mp3 player... Now when you see me boogying down on the beach, shaking my tail, you'll know why. But, I also compete in masters dual line ballet with Dueling Banjos... So, what can I say? Quote
stev123 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Posted August 3, 2006 I was thinking the theme from "Jonny Quest" ..the old one(at least for my flying) I think Peruvian Pan Pipes or ("PPP" from now on) Are good for single line floaters and soarers. I'm thinking Jazz...for the duals.. Pat Metheny.. Spyrogyra.... Steve Quote
wen Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 how do you lesson? headphons? earbuds? sparkers? Quote
John Barresi Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 I use ear buds, but it comes down to whatever is comfortable and audible to you. Quote
ChetR Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 I havent even bought a kite yet but am pretty sure what im getting.When i make it down to the coast im gonna bring my mp3 player and on it will be Lamb Of God..I cant wait. Quote
Scott Posted August 12, 2006 Report Posted August 12, 2006 I've got some kites. Just missing the music player and the TIME in which to fly! But maybe one of these days, eventually... Quote
sky fish Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 I to like my IPOD some times it keeps me flying till after dark .Just one more song then I will stop. Well its a good excuse Quote
Bram Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 I like to listen to some chill-out tunes when i'm flying. Buddha Bar or Supperclub. Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 I like new age music, though Yanni is to busy for me. Innovators, Ray Lynch type music. Shania Twain or Whitney Houston to kick back and play. The music that I play and relax with is totally different then show music. It has to be a mix of slow and fast songs. After Long Beach I went down the beach on Monday, cranked up my music and flew for meeeee! Total Satisfaction. Now whose got a smoke? BB Penny Quote
Backspin23 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I like techno, and movie soundtracks, but sometimes classic rock is good, maybe some rap here and there doesn't hurt either i jam with my iPod and big headphons. the sound quality of them are great, and they keep you ears a little warmer on cold days. lol Quote
ant man Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 love that classic rock i went to high school with i listen to it it gets my viens flowin for some real kite flyin Quote
Grandpa Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I was thinking music today, no wind and a leaf blower... well that's another post. I like classical music, classic rock from the 50's and 60's is kool, but I mean long-hair, white tie and tails classical music. Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera... Mars from Holst's the Planets... Vivaldi, Beethoven, Bach, Smetana... I always thought Mars would make a great pairs ballet. Quote

Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera... Mars from Holst's the Planets... Vivaldi, Beethoven, Bach, Smetana... I always thought Mars would make a great pairs ballet. I like a variety of music. One thing I like is a slow ballad to see how slow I can fly and axle and cascade. Light winds help. There is one tune that I wish I could do justice to. It is called Soul Finger by the Bar Kays (1967), where were you then. This tune says flick flac, comete, cascade etc. It requires 9 of something two times. Quote
Deezer Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 I see this is an old theme but it's golden I've flown kite just once but I had the same question on my mind. I think Incubus, Silverchair, Guano Apes, Godsmack and Stone Sour on shuffle would be my soundtrack. Just keep it low, I'd like to hear the sound of the kite Quote
sky fish Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 As you can see Steve123 it just depends on what ever you enjoy . I to like a little of every thing and almost always have my I POD some times the wind seams to dictate what I listen too. fast or slow .And flying day dreams can be triggered by music as I picture a side side turtle yo yo and so on . Just in joy it there is nothing write or wrong with any music it is all relative to the listener . A warm winds to all Quote
Grandpa Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 I may rethink my music... I'm sitting here at Otter Rock, OR listening to the surf crashing on the rocks 200 feet below the condo we are staying in. We watched Gray whales feed, breach and blow while sea lions were sunning on the rocks below. Nature sounds that have the power of the surf and whales the size of a school bus a few hundred yards off shore... how do you compete with that... Quote
