Robert Windpony plays his spirit songs in traditional Native American style. No electronically created "nature " sounds or artificial instrumentation. Robert plays Woodlands, Plains, and Lakota style flutes in the keys of low A to high C. Robert writes song/instruction books for 6 hole and 5 hole flutes and designs his windpony flutes in various soft, hard, and exotic woods. When Robert records or performs in concert, he plays each song differently each time. Robert feels that his playing is guided by spirit and that his flute playing gives voice to his spirit songs. Robert divides his time between the deserts, high plateaus and mountains of the southwest and his journeys are the foundation of his music.

"Robert Windpony plays his spirit songs in traditional Native American style. This means there are no electronically created sounds or artificial instruments. Have you ever heard a new-age CD that mimics the ocean? You are not really hearing the ocean. You can not feel the salt, the breeze, the true nature of the waves. What you are hearing is a computer loop that may be relaxing, but lacks authenticity. At some point, deep in your gut ? you know that the experience isn?t the real ocean. It?s just a computer recording thats trying to sound like an ocean. So when Robert Windpony?s CD landed on my desk, I became genuinely excited about hearing something ?real.?
Robert feels that his playing is guided by spirit and that his flute playing gives voice to his spirit songs. He receives inspiration from his journeys in the deserts, high plateaus and mountains of the southwest. In his recordings, there is no wall between nature and music - they co-exist - creating a voice that is whole and interconnected. Robert Windpony is not a copy. He is alive in his music. He is in the moment and he takes you with him on a spiritual journey that is hauntingly gorgeous.
In preparing my review for this CD, I was already moved by the vision of the beautifully crafted wooden instrument and by a musician who freely states that his music is guided by spirit.
I continued to let Robert?s music play and the more I listened, the more I loved it. This music transcends the boundaries of time and space. It almost floats. There is a sense of the past in the deeply longing tones. And there is a sense of flight, moving forward. The Native American Flute in Robert?s hands almost sounds like a soulful bird. It glides in the air and lands on the earth softly. It is beautiful, sometimes haunting and always peaceful. The journey is always authentic.
On his website, Roberts states that his music is relaxing. I would state that it is more than relaxing. It is transforming."
