Reading "Gödel, Escher, Bach" - I couldn't stop myself making a quick recording of Bach's Crab Canon (two tracks, on my phone).

Bach's Crab Canon

I stumbled across a game "Bai Qu: Hundreds of melodies" on the PlayStation store, and found the music written by Gustav Yu rather captivating: https://youtu.be/b1d_fjMVuE4?t=1828

I bought the soundtrack, and transcribed it, and then tried recording it. Quite interesting with the difference in tone between concertina (here) and accordion reeds in the soundtrack - not actually sure which suits it better!

My transcription is here: https://musescore.com/user/33705254/scores/7043405

Mazurka by Cliff Stapleton - arranged for baritone English concertina. I recorded it on my tenor-treble (though only dipping out of the normal treble range for one note, which could easily be played up an octave), shifting it using a micro-POG pedal.

You will not be alone - written by Dave Marcus

A practice/rehearsal version of the Playford tune "New Anything".

Double tracked.

Concertina

This is just a rough experiment to try out Google's ToneTransfer:

I recorded the four accompaniment lines on the concertina, and then transformed them into sax (down an octave), flute, violin and trumpet. Then mixed that, looped it, and recorded the divisions on top (no transformation on that line). A broken consort if there ever was one.
