nice one . . . Yeah, the ending is quite abrupt! I didn't want to fade out, though I think that's just because I have an irrational dislike for doing so. I'll probably come back to this one and work on a more musical ending. Thanks for the comments! Check out my latest song called Seriously

Great "First Try"! Thanks! I haven't played much at all with reverb, as I guess you've noticed. ;-) I came at this from a performance perspective, where what you play is what you get. All those effects options and knobs are a bit overwhelming, but they are much of the benefit...guess it's time to pay more attention to them! Check out my latest song called Seriously

Cool stuff! Nice to hear some ethnic-flavoring among the songs posted here. (And i'm sure you'll get interest for collaborations from all of us folk-song types!) Cool first post. Keep 'em coming! :) Check out my latest song called Father Time

Do I hear an Udu? Very cool percussion. Nice piping too. No real comments. Check out my latest song called Tecmo Superbowl 2009 w/ Dead End (MJRF 2004)

Great whistlin'! The drums are a little too busy and loud in this mix, they tend to distract from the awesome tin whistle solo. I love various countries' folk music, and this was great to stumble across, you played very well... I look forward to hearing more of your talent as you learn to twiddle the knobs along with the rest of us!

Nice... whistle playing. Funnily enough the first thing I ever recorded on GB was a Scottish tune called Dream Angus and the only GB beat I could find that would fit it was a tabla rhythm. GB is very short of beats that matches anything other than on-the-beat-rock. Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

Wonderful stuff This is great, the whistle-playing is fantastic. The drums go very well with it, although just occasionally they sound a tiny bit cluttered. I agree with Mandolinquent that GB is lacking in good beats for folk and world music ... a lot of the beats do *sound* ethnic but when you try to use them in an ethnic song they don't quite fit. But anyway, you've done a great job and I hope to hear more from you. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

Sorry... it took so long for me to find this. Excellent talent in the tin whistle. I like the drums, I think they fit well. I just don't agree with the comments that they are too loud. I'vee been to several Scottish and Irish festivals and the drums they use are almost akin to this type of accompanyment. So I think that they DO fit this very well. I'd like to hear some more of your talents. Keep posting! Check out my latest song called Smoove

LOve it! The tin whistle rules! Is it hard to play? I think your rhthym could be alittle more constant and solid but the whisltle sounds amazing! |

LOve it! Thanks! The tin whistle really isn't that hard to play, if you just want to play it straight. It's similar to a recorder. I'm playing with bagpipe style ornamentation (I've meddled with the Galician bagpipe some) and that's a totally different beast. I don't know if I'll ever quite master the techniques. Glad you liked it. Hopefully I'll have the time to do some more whistle work soon. Check out my latest song called Seriously

I'm glad I stumbled on this! This track had been posted for nearly a year by the time I got to it - very good whistle playing! Works particularly well over the rhythm track (which is perhaps a little too loud). You play two tunes here I think King of the Faeries I know but what's the other one?

I'm glad I stumbled on this! Thanks! The transcription I have just says "King of the Fairies", with three distinct sections. If one is from another tune, I'm not aware of what it is! I've pulled out my whistle with the intention of doing some more, I'll pay more attention to the balance. ;-) Check out my latest song called Seriously

awesome juxtaposition! I love the sound of the tin whistle and the hand percussion. This is a fantastic debut track! It's a fantastic track period. Your playing and production are impeccable. I can't find anything to be critical of! :) Check out my latest song called Outlaw Junkie Loner Blues
