Voici deux ronds de Saint Vincent du répertoire de Jean-Louis Latour , que l'on peut écouter sur l'album "Chants traditionnels des pays d'Oust et de Vilaine". Jean-Louis était une personnalité marquante de la culture bretonne . Il a été à l'origine de la Bogue d'or à Redon et du centre Ti-Kendalc'h à Saint Vincent sur Oust . Ce
lieu mythique accueillait des concerts , des stages , des cours de musique , des festou deiz ou noz ainsi que des classes vertes .
Jean-Louis a chanté le second thème en si bémol majeur , j'ai gardé cette tonalité qui fait un beau contraste avec le la mineur précédent . Aux mesures 15 et 17 , j'ai choisi un do tiré à gauche pour éviter un saut de doigt .
Sur ces mêmes mesures , l'accent sur le 2e si bémol peut se faire par une action de soufflet ( un genre de "bellow roll " ) .
Les paroles du 1er morceau se retrouvent dans un très grand nombre de chants sur ce thème, je ne les ai donc pas retranscrites ici . Le second est un chant à dizaine , où l'on décompte à chaque couplet . Le rond de Saint Vincent est aujourd'hui un incontournable des festou noz grâce aux musicien-ne-s qui le mettent à leur
répertoire ainsi qu'aux meneuses et meneurs de chants dans la ronde .

Äppelbo Gånglåt, recorded for the Tunesday Tuesdays Facebook group, played on a C/G Anglo concertina

There's a much more well-known song called Barbara Allen, sung and recorded by people all over the English-speaking world. This isn't that song! This is an instrumental dance tune, with the same title, probably with its origins in the North of England. Who was Barbara Allen, and why did she get songs and tunes named after her? Nobody really knows, although theories abound...

An accelerating dance tune, written for a hurdy-gurdy, but reimagined on boxes and piano.

This track was recorded using slightly broken and old instruments in need of repair. Both Scott and I were pleased with the results.

RASPBERRY (soundtrack to a short film by Scott Kingsnorth)

La Guédenne est une danse traditionnelle pratiquée de St Brieuc aux rives de la Rance , jusqu'à Hédé .
La première partie : un avant-deux , la seconde , plus enlevée , est le "balancé". C'est un air pour vielle , comme l'a noté Jean Guihard dans le recueil "Daouzeg koroll Breizh" .
Merci à Michel Oger , de Bains Sur Oust , qui joue la partie de vielle . Son magnifique instrument a été fabriquée par le luthier Boudet , de Jenzat , dans le Bourbonnais .
Dinan est une ville très touristique mais elle attire également beaucoup de musiciens car s'y déroulent chaque année en juillet les "Rencontres Internationales de Harpe Celtique", sous l'impulsion du barde Myrdhin .
Merci à lui et aux organisateurs de ce bel événement .

Skirmish, a tune by Nick Barber, played on a 30 button Jeffries G/D Anglo concertina

Skirmish 10-13-2024

Gabriel et Marie Yacoub ont enregistré ce chant avec "Malicorne" dans les seventies . Un immense merci à eux pour avoir si bien mis en valeur le répertoire traditionnel . J'écoute encore aujourd'hui leurs disques avec autant de bonheur !
L'arrangement permet le chant avec le concertina et aussi le jeu de la mélodie avec un accompagnement .
Désolé pour les sauts de l'index aux mesures 7 et 8 , mais cela libère la main gauche pour jouer autre chose .
La tonalité du morceau est do mineur , il y a donc trois bémols : si , mi , la .
Autres couplets :
Ouvrez , ouvrez la porte , Nanette ma jolie
J'ai une belle croix / un beau mouchoir / à vous présenter
Ouvrez-moi la porte et laissez-moi rentrer .
Mon père est en chagrin ...
Ouvrez, ouvrez la porte , Nanette ma jolie
J'ai un beau mari à vous présenter
Ouvrez-moi la porte et laissez-moi rentrer .
Mon père est en chagrin , ma mère en grand' tristesse
Et moi je suis fille de bien grand merci
Mais j'ouvrirai ma porte pour ce beau mari .

On Lindisfarne, there is a ridge of land called 'The Heugh' made out of unyielding igneous rock. It is not particularly high but from this viewpoint you can see the Castle, the Abbey, St Cuthbert's Island, in fact most of the sights of the otherwise flat Lindisfarne. The old coastguard station is now an observation platform. I wanted to use this piece to describe the view as experienced by a modern tourist but also give a reflective nod to the old herring and general fishing industry of the past.

This is an interesting link all about it

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

The High on the Heugh instrumental feature strings, cello, alto flute, high whistle, harp, bouzouki, concertina, choir, bodhrán and water pumpkins.

Background

I wanted to start this piece with an ascent section so it includes a climbing motif that leads the listener up to the top of the Heugh. There they can reflect on the view of St Cuthbert's Island etc.

The next section introduces the idea of starting to think about the vanished fishing industry so I used the concertina, an instrument often used by sailors, to start painting this picture. It also adds in the bouzouki supporting the harp and supported by various strings.

Then it's into a hornpipe section and and it's a much more lively section as the listeners imagination takes free reign and features a bouzouki solo. It builds to a climax before the final melancholic reprise. This final reprise reflects on a lost time as it guides the listener back to the present day.

High On The Heugh - 2024 - Remix and Remaster

Silence can be both a balm and a burden. "Silent Strings," explores the delicate balance between finding solace in silence and the pain of lost communication. It tells the story of the inner struggle to find the way back to words, with respect for yourself and the other. Silence can heal, but don't let it take over – because the longer it lasts, the harder the return.

Stay tuned for the official release and let yourself be touched by the sounds of "Silent Strings."

Silent strings

Hornpipe , Irlande
Ce beau hornpipe m'a été enseigné à la BWS d'Arzon par Padraig Mac Aodhgain. Les croches n'ont pas la même valeur :
pour exprimer le côté "sautillant" d'un hornpipe , on joue un rythme approchant une alternance de croches pointées / doubles croches , avec parfois des triolets , comme à la mesure 13 .
De nombreux enregistrements du Golden Eagle existent sur cd ou en vidéo , avec souvent de petites variantes . Par exemple ceux de Mary Mac Namara (The Blackberry Blossom ) ou Deirdre Galway et Brendan Mulholland ( Music in the glen ) .

A collection of songs, instrumentals and orchestral pieces charting my adventures in home studio recording and production.  All original compositions using voice, acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes using altered tunings), bouzouki, low and high whistles and MIDI instrumentation. 

I'm also using VST instrumentation to create classical compositions and integrating orchestral sounds into my songs and instrumentals.

Links to various instrumental projects and other Social Media links are available below.

I started my songwriting career playing in a power trio in the late 80's and early 90's as Singer and Guitarist around London and Essex, England. Moved to Brighton, England in the mid 90's and formed another power trio which became a 4 piece and had some success around the millennium supporting well known bands and playing headline shows around England.

Around this time I met Tony Clarke, best known for producing the Moody Blues and many other great acts. I worked with Tony for over a decade and he taught me the fundamental elements of mixing and producing. Many years later I met Mykel Dunn who ran his own studio in Kent, England. We started writing together and he completed my education in mixing. Myke and I went on to write music for TV shows and adverts and are still great friends and music partners. 

I recently had the absolute pleasure of producing, mixing and playing backing instruments on Ryan Athey's first album 'Next Same Town' which has been successful in it's first few months of release.

The pieces I post here are my own. Written, performed, mixed and produced entirely by myself  in my home studio in East Sussex, England (apart from a couple of numbers in Bandolier which were collaborations with Mykel Dunn). 
I am in my element when creating sound and enjoy experimenting with different styles ranging from Pop, Rock, Folk and Country to Orchestral, Ambient and Electronic. It's all music to me and I hope you enjoy what you hear.
