When Paul arrived at the construction site one morning, he was already bringing his flute with an intent to entertain his work mates over lunch. But, before lunch even came, he came across the empty 40th floor and instantly knew he had to play right then and there.

Standing in front of his camera, Paul Harvey began to play.

With a few opening notes to his piece, Paul knew he chose the right place to play his instrument. Every tune he created echoed within the walls of the empty construction site, creating a haunting sound that is oddly calming.

A lot of commenters in Reddit were curious to know how Paul learned to play the double Native American flute. On one of the threads in Reddit, Paul replied to this question with:

“Just picked it up in a shop at the Grand Canyon and started to play. Bout 5 years ago. A very emotive instrument. I played Tapps and was hooked.”

“I picked up a similar flute about 7 years ago at a tourist store in South Dakota and started playing. I definitely connected with it almost immediately. Never had a music lesson nor can I read music. Yet. I want to learn.”
