    He used to wear fedoras, but now he sports a fez There's cabalistic innuendos in everything he says, Sucking on a cigarette, picking up the threads, Underneath the Casablanca Moon From "Casablanca Moon" by Slapp Happy - lyrics by Peter Blegvad. Blegvad is a great wordsmith - here's another example:

    CS1x is a digital (virtual analogue) synth, I believe. I would say don't fall for the "analogue is best" hype. Digital VA synths can be ace, and generally offer a lot of bang for the buck, with stuff like built in effects, arpeggiators, stable tuning and, of course, polyphony. Check out the Novation K-station if you can find one secondhand. Only 2 octaves (though there were larger versions), but very capable and analogue-sounding if you want it to be.

    Rock is the zombie of the music world: it's dead but it doesn't know it, its rotting corpse teeters onward still, arms outstretched, reaching hopelessly for the recognition and adulation that it had in life.

    Zoom B1 Four

    Earbrass replied to Woodinblack's topic in Effects

    I just acquired the G1 Four (for use with electric & acoustic nyckelharpa), and I've found the octave effect to be poor - though I understand this may vary from instrument to instrument. Certainly isn't going to replace my Sub'N'Up.

    Thanks - I should manage ok - but I'll have to find my pic first.

    Mine's gone, and I can't see where to add a new one. Been through Account Settings and Profile. There's an option for "Cover Photo" or some such...is that it? Bloody hate computers me....(IT professional since 1983)...

    I recently saw a guy using a cajon / djembe combination that worked really well. Sat on the cajon, with a reversed kick pedal worked with his right heel. Left foot had another kick pedal which operated a tambourine. In front of him he had a large djembe, which he played mostly with brushes. I have a video but it's too big to attach. (or to share via Dropbox, apparently :0( )

    Yes (shortened from the classic "Yes, we have no bananas").

    They're just trying to make you spend more money by implying that if you don't, you're not a 'pro' (and won't be seen as such by others). Don't fall for the hype, especially as you already Marketing is marketing, and it's all b/s.

    If you click "see the source", do you get the review in the original language? If so, you could try copying into Google translate or similar (though they can be a bit bonkers too).

    Rather wonderful, actually. I began playing the nyckelharpa in 2015, and started attending a regular Scandinavian music session held in a room over a pub. Over the xmas period, we temporarily relocated to a room above a different pub, as our usual venue was booked up with parties. The lovely people at this second pub (which also regularly hosts gigs) then asked our session organizer to put on a monthly evening of Scandi music in the main bar for the regular punters, with a smaller group of players than regularly attend the session (which can get quite large and a bit ramshackle at times, with maybe 15-20 people of all levels of ability). Last night was the first one. I expressed an interest, and to my surprise (most of the session people are way better than me) I was invited along to play. I switched between playing nyckelharpa and percussion, as my repertoire on the harpa is fairly limited, and unlike the other players, I'm not up to sight-reading the tunes. The pub cleared a table for us in a corner of the bar, and we sat around it and played for over 2 hours. The other performers (there were eight of us altogether) are all really good, and also lovely people. Being a part of that performance, playing music I cared about with musicians I like, respect and admire, was a joyous thing indeed. The audience was small, but appreciative, and I went home through the snow with a feeling of great satisfaction.

    Here's two in Finnish, and one in Saami: Pekko Käppi / K:H:H:L - Mun Vereni ("my blood") Värttinä with the Philomela choir: Emoni ennen (you have to translate the whole line : Noin lauloi emoni ennen : roughly means "thus my mother used to sing") Mari Boine: Cuovgi Liekkas (radiant warmth)
