Brìghde Chaimbeul, Rhodri Davies, Sam Amidon and Linda Buckley discuss the roles of tradition and place in music, and what they might think about when performing.Brìghde Chaimbeul is a Gaelic musician, composer and bagpipe player. Her music stems from traditional Gaelic material, particularly sourced from archival recordings, of songs, stories and music from the Highlands and islands of Scotland. It also explores wider musical influences, such as a variety of global piping traditions from eastern Europe, Cape Breton and Ireland. She has collaborated with artists including Ross Ainslie, Gruff Rhys, Martin Green, Carlos Nunez and Allan MacDonald. Last year she released the album Carry Them With Us in collaboration with Colin Stetson, weaving together textural drones, trance atmospheres and instrumental folk traditions.Rhodri Davies is a Welsh musician who plays harp, electric harp and live electronics, as well as building harp installations. He started playing the harp at the age of 7 and is classically trained on the orchestral pedal harp; he also plays harps from a range of different cultures, modifying their sounds with different techniques and pushing the boundaries of how the instrument can sound. He's released seven solo albums and regularly works with groups such as Hen Ogledd, Cranc, the Sealed Knot and Common Objects. Sam Amidon is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Vermont. He plays the fiddle, guitar and banjo, and is a member of the Icelandic music collective/record label Bedroom Community. He has released a string of acclaimed albums, ranging in theme from interpretations of traditional Irish fiddle pieces to old-time melodies and tales from traditional American folk history. His collaborators include classical composer Nico Muhly, experimental composer/producer Ben Frost, composer/violinist Eyvind Kang, guitar legend Bill Frisell and veteran jazz drummer Milford Graves.Linda Buckley is an Irish composer and musician who creates electronic and acoustic music working across many disciplines, most notably film, and drone and dark ambient music. She's worked in many collaborative contexts, including scoring films such as Nothing Compares by Kathryn Ferguson and To The Moon by Tadhg O'Sullivan. Recent collaborators include Liam Byrne and Crash Ensemble, Gudrun Gut and Andrew Zolinsky.

Ciro De Rosa presenta Globofonie, puntata n.58 del 26-09-2022. La scaletta di questo episodio è interamente dedicata a ricchezza e varietà espressiva delle nuove musiche di ispirazione tradizionale. Partendo dalla Liguria che suona irlandese, seguiamo la rotta atlantica verso nord-ovest, muovendoci nello spazio sonoro d'Irlanda, Scozia, Inghilterra e Galles. Ascolti di Birkin Tree, The Haar, Goitse, Cormac Begley, Cathal O Currain, Tóla Custy & Cyril D' Donoghue, The Canny Band, Brighde Chaimbeul, Ross Ainslie and Steven Byrnes, Fiona J. McKenzie, Damien O' Kane & Ron Block, Bryony Griffith & Alice Jones, Lewis Wood, Nick Hart,Tarren e VRï.

Episode XXXVII features over one hour of audio hallucinatory magick stemming from the world of traditional folk and slowly creeping into other spheres, eldritch tendrils maintaining their core DNA even as they mutate and transform. Old tunes, comedic verses, devilish songs and poppy bleeps, from the wonky to the whimsical, the woeful to the wacky, the wondrous to the wocious. Let it ooze into your eager earholes like a gallon of molten Kerrygold.

Ross needs no introduction, I'm sure.  He's an amazing piper, whistler, tunesmith, and I hear he's a decent baker as well! Along with the totally-talented Brìghde Chaimbeul and the superbly-skilled Steven Byrnes, Ross has gifted us with another unique collection of music in the new album, “LAS”.  For C-Smallpipe enthusiasts everywhere, this has been much-anticipated, as Brìghde and Ross did the whole thing on C-smallpipes.  And whether you care a lot about the key of the pipes or it makes no difference to you at all: this album is a horizon-broadening, joy-bringing, excitement-inducing musical trip and I could not recommend it enough.  In the last 48hrs I think I've listened it through some 9 times, and some of the tracks, (especially The Badger & The Weasel,) many more times than that, and it's not getting old in any  way.  Stream it, buy it, share it with friends - get copies to hand out for the Holidays, this is good music.   Tune into this episode to hear Ross totally shut-down my suggestion that World's ought to include a Grade 1 Cabaret Competition…   Here are the links! As of today, there's a single track of the album available, but the whole album will drop on September 2nd. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1F6NvB43HUErNBJMGzBS5j?si=TwydsrbuQQOMOa8NusSj2A As of posting the episode, I don't have a BandCamp link yet, but for sure consider purchasing a copy to support these amazing artists.  One easy way to do that is via BandCamp.
