Name: Paddy on the Erie / The Toormore by Drumspyder in Oak and Ash
Duration: 4 min 7 s
Description: Based on the Irish/American tune "Paddy on the Erie" (or "Paddy on the Railway") plus an Irish slide "The Toormore".

Four dance tracks, two atmospheric pieces, and one in-between : “Oak and Ash” is a re-imagining of traditional melodies from the British Islands, quickened by energetic framedrum and tamborine rhythms, and alchemized with elements of electronic trance and ethereal atmospheres.

Opening with a bass-heavy and tribalistic take on a Scottish melody (“Strathspey Drummers”) the album has four tracks aimed at the contemporary eclectic dancefloor, including the midtempo groove of “Flitter Dance”, the pulsing and trance-like “Morning Dew”, and rollicking “Paddy on The Erie”.
A slowly-swaying and languorous version of “Apples in Winter” brings the album into the downtempo realm, and following this, there are two atmospheric tracks, the dark and Renaissance-styled “Oak and Ash”, and the tranquil low whistle of “Island Air”

Available exclusively on Bandcamp, there are five alternate mixes , all of which strip away the electronic beats to bring forward the more subtle organic and ambient dimensions of the music. There are mostly-acoustic, framedrum-driven versions of “Strathspey Drummers”, “Apples in Winter” and “Flitter Dance”, plus drumless meditative mixes of “Morning Dew” and “Island Air”

About the cover image:

A wreath of seven autumn leaves; 3 of oak and 4 of ash - two trees which are rich in associations and symbolism in northern traditions.

Oak, the sacred Druid’s tree in Celtic lore, associated with Thunor (Thor) the thunder god in Germanic traditions, and everywhere a symbol of great power and strength. Its wood could furnish the central beams of buildings or ships. 

The ash is connected with Woden; its hard (yet somewhat flexible) wood was the first choice for spears, and the the Old English Rune Poem says of Ash that it stands firm, “although it fights against many men”

The two trees have many complementary meanings, yet share the common element of strength, resilience and perseverance against adversity.

At the center is a magpie, a bird of omen and prophecy.

The symbol above the magpie’s beak is a combination (bindrune) of four staves; at the top and bottom are “Ac” and “Aesc”, the old English runes meaning oak and ash, and the lines projecting out of the left and right sides of the central vertical are the Irish Ogham characters “Duir” and “Nin”, again meaning oak and ash.

Scott Sterling

Drumspyder weaves a web of percussive rhythm, melody, and line. Framedrums, tambourines, and  low whistles mingle with bass beats and ethereal atmospheres, bringing the Celtic and British Islands traditional music into vital contemporary expression.

Scott Sterling has always followed the path of rhythm. Over the course of a long journey through diverse forms of drumming and dance music: avant-garde circus, slinky bellydance troupes, and acclaimed bass-music productions, the one constant has been the beat of the drum. 

Over the past several years he has specialised in the realm of framedrums and tambourines. Influenced by modern framedrum masters such as Glen Velez and David Kuckhermann, but also inspired by the rhythms of the Irish bodhran, he follows a distinctive path through the world of contemporary percussion: fusing his experience with cross-cultural framedrum techniques and Arabic rhythms with a new-found love of Celtic dance music. 

To this rhythmic foundation he adds traditional melodies (played on low whistles and various keyboards) drawn from the folk music of Ireland, Scotland, and England , as well as the rich repertoire of Medieval and Renaissance music from the British Isles. 

Out of the alchemy of rhythm, melody, and his long experience in dance music production, he has forged a unique approach to Celtic and Medieval fusion, where elements of trance, bass-heavy electronica, and ethereal atmospheres mingle into an intoxicating brew. His overall ambition is to connect traditional rhythms and melodies with the contemporary dancefloor.
