Wamakaskan for Bass Flute by William Linthicum-Blackhorse. Wamakaskan is comprised of 4 melodies in the form of prayers corresponding to each cardinal direction. After each prayer, the performer listens for 4 seconds and improvises animal sounds that correspond to the previous prayer: Ate Wiohpeyata, Ate Waziyata, Ate Wiohiyanpata, Ate Itokagata, and Wakantanka (all creation).
