  • Bio

    FLUTE LOOPS FROM THE ROCK Rozalind MacPhail's music is in a genre of it's own, that of sound painting. She seamlessly blends organic instrumentation, such as the flute, voice, guitar, toy instruments, omnichord and electronics by way of an intricate looping system she built through the aid of Ableton Live and her MacBook. MacPhail's music is modern but also rooted in traditional songwriting - a perfect blend between the past, present and future. She has managed to distill a lifetime of experience travelling across the country into a number of very personal and emotionally affecting songs. Her life on the road, with all its joys and hardships, is in plain view for all to see. This Toronto Island raised flower-child sang and danced throughout her childhood for anyone who would listen. The flute came into Rozalind's life at the age of thirteen, after her grandmother read an article about how playing the flute helped asthmatics learn how to control their breathing better. In fact, it did. "Rozalind MacPhail, St. John's troubadour flutist, best flute on both coasts."

ROZALIND MACPHAIL

“Rozalind MacPhail, St. John’s troubadour flutist, most beautiful flute on both coasts.” Wavelength curator, Doc Pickles

Rozalind MacPhail has become one of Canada’s most unique and captivating multi-instumentalist singer-songwriters. She effortlessly loops guitar, flute, voice and toy instruments into her own blend of songs and soundscapes about the people and places she has connected with.

This Toronto Island flower-child sang and danced throughout her childhood for anyone who would listen in an environment that nurtured that. The flute came into Rozalind's life at the age of thirteen, after her grandmother read an article about how playing the flute helped asthmatics learn how to control their breathing better. In fact, it did.

Rozalind pursued a performance degree for flute at the University of Toronto, studying with Douglas Stewart. She then moved to Ottawa to pursue a Masters Degree in Flute Performance with Robert Cram. As Mystery Flute Girl, she has made spontaneous guest appearances with celebrated indie music artists including Yo La Tengo, Great Lake Swimmers, Constantines, Lou Barlow and many others. With a yen for travelling, she has acquired fans from the most surprising places in Canada and abroad, having become both a long-term resident at the Banff Centre and an Artist-In-Residence at The Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida, studying with Robert Dick (NYU).

In April 2009, Rozalind was invited to the prestigious Dawson City International Short Film Festival where she was an Artist-in-Residence, composing and performing original works in cooperation with Victoria filmmaker Scott Amos. Flexible and intuitive, she collaborates with experimental filmmakers and artists of all sorts.

Rozalind is currently recording a new album in St. John’s, Newfoundland as she prepares for further tours across Canada and the rest of the world.
