The "shorts" of my uploads. Most tracks are based on actual Medieval and Renaissance works, with the exception of Synastria which is, as detailed elsewhere, a riff of mine old enough to drink.

Pretty much everything here is a single-take live looping recording. 

Contrary to popular belief, this is not the music of fairies in the woods; this is the music of little girls playing in gravel-strewn urban play grounds, pretending to be fairies in the woods..

The Shorts

in which our intrepid joglaressa escapes the confines of acousticness for the most part. sound design exploration, synth shenanigans and other preposterous yet droney and croney things.

Ante Portas - sketches of discovery

Doucitude

A 25 year old riff reincarnated when the stars aligned between the citole and the hurdy gurdy.

Synastria

Cantiga de Santa Maria 422 - Madre de Deus
baglama saz - citole - frame drum - AKAI MPK miniplay - zoom505 - loopers

CSM 422 Madre de Deus

To paraphrase Brendan Perry, this stompy dance tune was all the rage sometime during the 14th century. Whoever wrote it down into the Add MS 29987 manuscript knew that rather well.

Saltarello 2

Galician poet Martin Codax wrote several songs about playing in the waves with one's beloved, in a work known as Cantigas de Amigo. 

This is one of them. 
Performed live at the Wastelands in Second Life.

Quantas Sabedes Amar Amigo

A lovely song of adoring from afar, by Guillaume d’Amiens (France, 13th c.) 
Take care that no one looks at me - if anyone looks at me, tell me. It's all down there in the woods. The country girl, tends the cows: Pretty brunette, I am yours!

Prendes I Garde

Saz on flanger, Arturia Pigments, AKAI MPK Miniplayer and the odd whisper. 
Stella Splendens from the Livre Vermell de Montserrat (the red book of the serrated mountain) XIVc Catalonha, Spain.

A Calculated Acquaintance On The Serrated Mountain

Improvisational intro
Arturia Pigments, Yamaha alto recorder in F

Performed live at the Wastelands on January 13

Ladder To Petra

oh, the things you can see there.. 

Arturia Pigments

Behind Closed Eyelids

A wave-crashing dialogue of stone and water

Single takes.

Sea Cliff The Highest

Akai MPK miniplay, visceral longing, and a quiet night adrift, back when there was hope.

danaga - trece un nouras (cu surorile osoianu)

The Second Life presence of an artist who does it completely different in her First one. Live looping with acoustic instruments of the mostly medieval persuasion and the odd synths for good measure. Improvisation, ostinati, drones and some very old tunes thrown in the mix. Add to that some guitar equipment from the 90s and who knows what else natural selection might bring!
