At times he pauses, changes mood, and elicits long, random notes from a homemade North African-style flute or dramatically raises a six-foot Tibetan temple horn and blows a resounding blast. The concert is over when Tree feels it should end, sometimes after 45 minutes, sometimes after an hour and a half (which most professional critics find a bit too long). Tree simply walks away.
