Good change of style here, loved the synth bass, that really stood out and the bleeps noises took me right back to happy days in games arcades as a kid. Cool pic as well !

While General Scrapie gets promoted to "Supreme Overlord Scrapie, the Woolmonger”, at his floating citadel on the Isle of Skye, some bumbling human field slave, (a former iPad music producer) gets caught making Puirt à beul, or mouth music. In his musical daydreams, a great contingent of humans attacks the fortress with futuristic weaponry and frees him from slavery...

Skye Fortress

A one-man, iOS, Cybernetic, Mutagenic, Electro-Celtic Fusion Wonder band. "They could clone Dolly but they couldn't clone ME...!" 

Welcome to the world of 

Supersonic Tartan Death Machine (STDM) = Bagpipe-Driven Electro-Celtic Fusion. I call it "électrocelte". Recorded @ BearCave Studios Montreal using an iPad + iPhone + a host of awesome iOS apps.

Instruments used include: Great Highland Bagpipe, Border Pipes, John Walsh Shuttle Pipes, Practice Chanter, Irish Whistle in A, B flat,and D, Bombarde, Voice. 

Tech Tools used include: CME X-key 25 MIDI Controller, iPad, iPhone, Zoom H6, iRig HD, Propellerhead Balance, Sennheiser Dynamic headphones. 

Apps used include (amongst others)Animoog, Audacity, Audiobus, Audioshare, Audio Mastering, Beatmaker 2, BeatTime, dJay, Figure, FourTrack, Glitchbreaks, Impaktor, Korg Gadget, Logic Pro X, NanoStudio, ReMaster, Reason 8, Samplr, studio.HD, SunVox, THOR, ThumbJam, Turnado and of course GarageBand for iOS.

Music: the music and stylings are widely varied. From traditional tunes to self-composed original bagpipe compositions, to covers of popular Scottish songs, or even rock songs. There really are no limits... new ideas are churning through my mind almost weekly. Some tunes start off with a bagpipe tune. Others start off with a few beats worked out on an iOS device. I often sing new tunes to myself, record them on my iOS device and then write them down... and the creative process continues...

DISCLAIMER: if I do not follow back on SoundCloud do not be offended, I usually WILL follow back people with sounds. If you have ZERO SOUNDS I do not usually follow back. Sorry about that! I still absolutely acknowledge your existence AND appreciate your support.

I also run my tracks from my musical alter-ego @elfpants on this account because for some reason SoundCloud doesn't allow multiple artist accounts on a Pro account... 

Lastly, I am member of Celtic Prog Rock Trio "Dun Aenghus" and of "Whatever The Majority Decides" (see links). The work I have done with these groups is also posted on my page. I have done a bit of writing lyrics, singing, playing Irish Whistle and Highland Pipes for Dun Aenghus, and singing and lyric writing for WTMD. Great fun!!

 Slainte...
