When the Wind Blows, The FUNdamentals of Hang Gliding

The words and music of the song were written, performed, recorded and engineered by the genius musician Tony Lasley. Tony recorded "When the Wind Blows" entirely on his phone right after the first sound recording app came out for the i-phone. His video of the recording process is very interesting, since he made all of the instrumental sounds by innovative modifications to his guitar. All of the orchestration you hear is the result of the application of Tony's creative mind to a single acoustic guitar. Prepare to be impressed.    • When the Wind Blows  


Interesting fact: Tony Lasley was my video-editing teacher when I took a class at Palomar College several years ago. When I first heard this song, I knew it would be perfect for a future hang gliding video. Tony has graciously agreed to allow me to use it in this film.



RJ Mckeehan and I shot the footage at Point of the Mountain Utah, South Side in September of 2020 and May of 2021. I shot the time-lapse videos in Utah in May 2021. The point of this and all my films is to show the great fun of flying hang gliders.
