Percussion Yes, live. Most of the time it's a big framedrum, the daf (also called tar) has a rattling sound, and the riqq is like an egyptian tambourine. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

Interesting I played this through speakers during coffee this morning, with the volume up a little because I love Renaissance music (and Vic Diesel's playing). When it was finished I said isn't that wonderful and my wife said please don't play it any more, it hurts my ears. It's ok Vic, she doesn't like a lot of my music either ;-) Check out my latest song called Caledonia

krumhorn is that the one that sounds a tad like a kazoo? ha! Nicely done, Victor - yeah a little rusty (more noticeable toward the end) but it worked fine, giving it a more community feel. . - Harold Check out my latest song called Ascent of a Tree (w Mike_D & FEEL)

not a sackbut in sight? What a fun melody, and I loved the period instruments, and despite your lament of being out of practice, this is deftly played... perhaps your recorder dexterity covers your oud-of-practice oud playing. Huzzah! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Belle Aire (for Mandolin Orchestra)

Chanconeta Tedescha Fantastic and impressive performance considering the number of real instruments being played. Recorders are wonderfully played ... cool krumhorn ... sounds like something in a klesmer band. Playing a fretless stringed instrument is tough but I think you've done well. I like your percussion and the way you build the piece and just when I thought the tune ended you came back with that last bar ... wonderfully real! SG Check out my latest song called Coulda Shoulda

Finesse... Enjoying the sound of these real and unusual instruments played with great finesse, Vic. The oud intonation variation just adds to the authentic, live feel. Well recorded. Regards, Peter. Check out my latest song called Sailor's Warning w jiguma, Philip18

Well-Played, Sir! Your work is always amazing. I like the sort of cross-cultural sound you've got here - crumhorn and recorder (very German-sounding) next to those eastern strings. Cool stuff! I've been thinking about getting a frame drum (or a bodhran) for a while - now I really want one! :) Check out my latest song called The Peasant Wedding

cross culture It's an interesting research question how many middle-eastern influences there are in early european music. It's clear that some instruments (lute, tambourine, rebec, and something obscure called "nakers") are direct imports from the east. Crusades and general trade with the east.... Beyond that? Who knows. So I actually feel moderately comfortable about mixing some influences and still being historically informed. Bodhran: I have a really nice one from Cooperman. Not cheap, but really good.

Framedrum It's just a generic name for flat drums. Every culture seems to have had them. Remo makes some for about 40 bucks that sound decent. Everyone should have one, just in case. Mine are not Remo, btw. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

Same Remo that make banjo heads ? Interesting track ...and even more intersting collection of instruments ! Im sure Saz, Riq ,Daf and Krum Horn were founder members of mediaeval Status Quo....but I could be wrong....much enjoyed . Jarvo Check out my latest song called laundromat blues

well now... ...this is so not what my mind was revving up for, but i wasn't quite ready to rev up this a.m. either. i'm also having to google each of your seemingly, eclectic choices of instruments. quite the musicianship going on in this piece even if there was one musician for ea instrument! but one musician for all of them is a bit impressive regardless of what your claim is for the status of your practice! now why was i so surprised at the chosen piece of music, am i that out of though or am i that out of touch... nvrmnd... great listen Vic! this is one to study. thanks for the traveler!

Melodic diversity Love the middle eastern flavour from the daf (I've played one of these :-) and the recorder is so clear and clean-sounding. I hadn't heard of a krumhorn, but yes it does sound a bit like a kazoo! ;-) Interestingly the almost unison parts are given diversity by the wide tonal difference in the range of instruments. This is really lovely, and must have been a lot of work, congratulations. Check out my latest song called Stride La Vampa

Love it! Bring out the sacbutts!!! You really capture that early Renaissance flavor with this ditty, Vic. Funny how the krumhorn (I guess) sounds so much like a muffled kazoo. This was really a pleasant listen this evening. Kudos for the courage to write/arrange this ancient music. It still rings with life and hope. Bravo. Check out my latest song called Seventy-Eight

It must be weirdly fun to be conversant in old instruments and their tunings. Kind of like be able to make multi-lingual puns. I wish I knew more about what goes into performing a piece like this (shit, I wish I knew more about music period). It bounces right along, though, and I don't doubt for a second the accuracy of it or your commitment/scholarship. More than a little jealous, am I!

Fills many frequencies! Amazing how these instruments fill the audio spectrum! Refreshing after all the electronica I play with (though you are very good with electronica as well as have heard). I wasn't aware that such sounds could occur with out wavetables, oscillators, LFOs and envelopes :) Check out my latest song called Advice

Tanzmusik Sounds very authentic (I guess with your set of real instruments how could it not?), and the vibe you've got going feels quite danceable. I like the way you bring different instruments into the fore here and there - is that part of the arrangement from the composer or was that your own artistic choice? Your recorder tone is lovely, by the way. Doug Check out my latest song called Dad's March 5 2013

Wunderbar It's fantastic to hear these real instruments arranged, played and recorded so well. It's great that people can make music these days with samples and loops but when the whole thing is "real" it has an extra wow factor. Much enjoyed Thanks Steve Check out my latest song called Harm(less)onics to Fade

brilliant! Quite an ensemble! The framedrum rhythm is reminiscent of modern drum and bass I thought. You manage the feat of not making a recorder sound like its being played in infant class!! Excellent. Check out my latest song called Melif

Chanconeta Tedescha I'm really happy that there are still some who keep this music alive, thank you. This is a great mix; I feel like I'm sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by the instruments. I've heard the krumhorn in early Russian folk music; was it a common instrument throughout Europe? This was very enjoyable. Thanks for posting. Check out my latest song called 12.31.12
