I had a (classical) violin teacher who used to step on my foot when I tapped it in rhythm. I was told to *internalize* rhythm. Now, I’m encouraged to tap my foot/feet when I play the pipes because the muscles involved in playing are too small to sense/convey any accentuation. Relearning to tap is hard! 🦶🫠 #IrishTrad #UilleannPipes #tradfolk

Work in progress. Finally back in the studio, getting some new tunes up and running. Lads of Alnwick is an absolute banger, and doesn't really need anything fancy in terms of an arrangement, just let the tune speak for itself I reckon. This tune has the advantage of being pretty well known, so I'll be getting guests in on this!

The Old Oaks of Windsor, how bravely they stand.

This song was published in the Illustrated London News in 1846. If anybody fancies singing or playing this, I’d love to hear it.

Having, as per annual tradition, failed to master any xmas tunes, before the Christmas dinner cut-off, time to start practicing for hogmanay. #melodeon #tradfolk

@emmaaum Oh this is wonderful. There seems to be a growing #folkmusic #tradfolk community here on Mastodon so hopefully it will grow into a thriving #folk scene!

Somewhere in the 'dream' section of my mind is a project where I get together with a trad folk musician or two, and we go out into the local landscape and weave songs and stories out of the stones and the air and the voices of people who were once there. And I guess film/record it, although don't ask me about the tech side, because I haven't a clue and I'm terrified of microphones...

Putting it here as a way to maybe manifest it somehow, someday.

Back in the early 2000s, I loved this band called #Dyad. Had their CDs, but lost them.

They're not on my streaming service, but I just discovered today that, even though they disbanded in 2009, their music is available on #BandCamp!

I cannot recommend enough if you like #TradFolk #DarkFolk or #OldTime from #Appalachia.

"Traditional Appalachian mountain music tainted by modern times."

"Old Appalachian songs of loss, prostitution and death."

Valentin Clastrier, the man who brought the hurdy-gurdy into the era of Varèse, Boulez & Xenakis, did a clever trick here: you bought the LP based on its serious-looking cover, expecting your "usual" #mediaeval or #tradfolk music and boom! you entered a very #contemporary world of unusual scales, made-up languages & African influences. The little deception was worth it: it definitely opened my ears to new soundscapes, & prepared me for the music of #2Othcentury composers.

I'm always looking for musical inspiration. 🍄🌛 But due to technical issues, I'm kind of stuck with Spotify.
