“Guilhem Desq - Cicatrices”
- atoav 4y agoI had a hurdy gurdy phase as well. My absolute favourite recording/performance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KzbCNzc9Lb4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KzbCNzc9Lb4 Matthias Loibner - Mooreiche The kind of coloration he teases out of the instrument is mindboggling
- tomcam 4y agoBeyond anything I could have hoped for. Thank you very much
- miniwark 4y agoThen i need to drop Andrey Vinogradov here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvNZeh6f8vE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvNZeh6f8vE
- gradschoolfail 4y agoRecercatrice -> (lady) researcher -> inquisitor (Corsican) -> (English) -> (Latin) Thanks Google translate for helping to expand on this awesome medievalXmodern theme
- speps 4y ago"Cicatrices" means "scars" in French, not sure what you got from Google Translate...
- gradschoolfail 4y agoI know. “Scars” doesn’t have that medieval-modern vibe. He probably should rename his work..lol On its own, calling a piece like that “research” is quite endearing.
- hh3k0 4y agoOssian Brown of Cyclobe plays the hurdy-gurdy masterfully, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqAun9LukU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqAun9LukU
- sys42590 4y agoWell, you can even do metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqHeOcItSkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqHeOcItSkQ
- frxx 4y agoNot too many hurdy gurdy players are in metal bands after all. (Even though she just left Eluveitie...)
- driggs 4y agoHN geek checking in to namedrop my own project (sorry it's not Rust + RISC-V!)... Autumn Equinox are a three-piece of hurdy-gurdy (the "wheel fiddle"), nyckelharpa (the Swedish "keyed fiddle"), and upright bass. We play tunes from and inspired by Celtic and Eastern European traditions, and the hypnotic drone of the hurdy-gurdy is a common thread. We often play tunes by other hurdy-gurdy composers like Andrey Vinogradov and Nigel Eaton as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ntNy6aNOfA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ntNy6aNOfA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgPXIBhQzGT3O_Y7fLVFb2w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgPXIBhQzGT3O_Y7fLVFb2w
- jacquesm 4y agoFantastic. Have you heard of the wheel harp? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE
- driggs 4y agoI had never heard of the Wheel Harp before. It appears to be a sort of polyphonic hurdy-gurdy: one tuned string per key, and depressing the key engages that string with the wheel-bow. The wheel appears powered by electricity, and the foot pedals appear to either control the pressure or speed of the wheel-bow. In contrast, the hurdy-gurdy's (and nyckelharpa's) keys shorten its melody string to increase the pitch, like fretting a violin or guitar. The wheel is manually cranked, and the rhythm of the cranking is used to adjust tone and engage the buzzing of the trompette. The HG is monophonic in that you can't dynamically play chords, though you can engage multiple melody strings simultaneously (usually octaves or fifths).
- jacquesm 4y agoThe sound of that thing is so incredibly haunting. I really like it though and I've been thinking about building one.
- _spduchamp 4y agoBeautiful innovation. I love old sounding new instruments!
- frxx 4y agoSurprised to see no mention of Patty Gurdy yet. https://youtu.be/FBK7i7oChKk https://youtu.be/FBK7i7oChKk
- ucosty 4y agoWhile we're at it, you can't forget Anna Murphy (formerly of Eluveitie, currently Cellar Darling) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDE3Bx1Cb1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDE3Bx1Cb1I
