This 800-year-old song was composed by Richard I of England when he was captured and held for ransom. I played the melody on an Akai EWI USB using a violin patch from ThumbJam.

Richard I - Ja nuns hons pris

I am an amateur musician with a particular interest in performing or otherwise producing Renaissance music by electronic means. In my posted tracks, I have used acoustic instruments (recorders), an electronic wind controller (Akai EWI USB), and step-time sequencing, in various combinations. Many of my tracks were produced in the late 1980’s with the Yamaha CX5M music computer, but they were never published in any form until 2011.
