Flook!

K: Ddor T: 115 TS: 4/4 INST: INST:Flute, INST:AltoFlute, INST:AcousticGuitar, INST:Bodhran Mood: Energetic, driving, and virtuosic, with a joyous and intricate feel. Structure: Tune Set (e.g., Tune1 AABB -> Tune2 AABB) The name "Flook!" refers to the highly influential Anglo-Irish instrumental folk band. Their sound is defined by the unique and powerful combination of two flutes (Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen), a percussive DADGAD-tuned guitar (Ed Boyd), and the virtuosic bodhrán (John Joe Kelly). This lineup creates a sound that is intensely rhythmic and driving, yet melodically complex and ornate. The music is rooted in Irish traditional forms, favoring modal keys like Dorian or Mixolydian over simple major/minor tonalities, hence the choice of D Dorian. Tempos are often upbeat to accommodate fast-paced reels (in 4/4) or jigs. Structurally, their pieces are typically "sets"—a seamless performance of two or three tunes back-to-back. Each individual tune often follows a simple AABB form, with the energy and complexity building throughout the set. The overall effect is one of breathtaking, high-energy instrumental music that is both deeply traditional and innovatively contemporary.
