car-2-aThis is kind of old news, but the lead-off track from Humanatone entitled “Falling Down The Stairs” was recently featured in a video by Mr. John Herman.  Herman entered this video as part of Ford’s Fiesta Movement.  He was selected as one of 100 “agents” who will be among the first Americans to test drive the new Ford Fiesta.  He can now be located anywhere in The Shire in his (almost) one of a kind vehicle.  See him and the JohnHermantourage in the video below.

Rudy Sims - Humanatone Cover

Humanatone is the recently released third album by Rudy Sims.  It was written and recorded as part of the 2009 RPM Challenge.  This album focuses on an underutilized instrument in modern music – the nose flute (also called a nose whistle or “humanatone“).  The nose flute is played by blowing through the nose using the mouth as a resonating cavity.  Besides nose flutes, this album also boasts an eclectic mixture of pop, ambient and experimental tracks.  It is the most sophisticated Rudy Sims album to date.  Hear it here.
