Strathspeys and Highlands

Its been a musical few days. Went to see the wonderful She'koyakh last night - fantastic Klezmer band with fabulous musicians at the Nomad's Tent in Edinburgh.  It was very interesting to listen to the violinist's improvisations.

Here's a taste if you haven't heard them

Strathspeys

Then today I went to a workshop to play Strathspeys in the Scottish and Donegal style with Amy Geddes and Liz Docherty. The Donegal way of playing is a bit more laid back and simplified and the tunes are known as Highlands.  ​

Computer Desktop Project

I have also been doing further work on the Computer Desktop project.   Managed to get it running but had to reinstall it on a Windows machine.  My Mac didn't like it.  However I have now managed to transform sounds.
