I’m excited to present Faded Tones, my latest album for solo flute, performed by Letícia Maia. This project explores the creative potential of combining the flute with delay, using it not just as an effect but as an integral part of the composition. Each of the five tracks reflects a unique approach, blending influences from Heavy Metal to Philip Glass, with the delay transforming simple repetitions into intricate canons and evolving soundscapes.

As Letícia beautifully puts it:
“In this album, Thales creates a unique sound universe by merging the flute with delay. It’s a different take on what we usually expect from a flute, almost like a new instrument, pushing the sonic possibilities of the flute even further.”

Letícia’s sensitive and precise performance brings these pieces to life, uncovering the rich layers and textures that emerge from this dialogue between instrument and effect.
