“Ululófono” emerged as a meeting space for performative interventions between wind instrument players of different generations. This new "pandemic version" is an adapted rendition made by working alone on collecting, manipulating and composing personal interpretations of how the wind could sound. Through virtual correspondence of home recordings, groups of "micro-ensembles" were put together. Using a sequencer, I composed ten new pieces of music confirming that, among many other expressions, the wind can drop, howl, shriek, bellow, bufar, hiss, clamour for, moan, shout, roar, whistle, sigh, and, of course, hoot.
