Marchogaist ar draws wlad gyda'ch ceffylau cerbydau a'ch llengoed Mharcaigh tu transa na tire le do charbaid chapaill agus le do leigium Mharcaich thu air feadh na tire le d' charbaid- each agus le d' legionaibh Tu as parcouru le pays avec tes chevaux tes chars et tes legions Du bist mit pferden streitwagen und deinen legionen durch das land geritten You rode across the land with your horses chariots and your legions
Hey man, no need to be that angry towards the church. Because Christianity did not do anything to these cultures, in fact it evolved with them ! A lot of traditions in France came from a mixe of both. We all need to love eachother and see who truely is the one and only lord, Jésus Christ.
I want to get one purely to go to a camp ground in the mountains and start blaring a bunch of animalistic noises on top of a big hill or side of a mountain
It won't work without a trumpet or didgeridoo, but you have to make a high pitched " Yeeeouw " sound pretty quickly from your throat while blowing into the instrument
Este foi o instrumentista que obteve os mais variados sons que Carnyx pode oferecer, de muitos carnyx que escutei serem soprados. Gostei muito, parece bem natural e fácil pra ele tocar este instrumento. Parabéns, do Brasil.
If you are interested in having a horn like that, I built them on a regular basis. You can send me an email at samuel.meric@gmail.com if you want to know more.
People always talk about how the Carnyx was a battle horn and how terrifying it would've been to hear as a roman legionary. I think the much more fascinating way to think about them is that they are cultural objects. Some ancient copper smith went and did a full recreation of a boar's head in metal, and that was an object that existed in the world from that point on. That can't have just been a signal horn for military purposes. It's an instrument. Imagine a class of young druids practicing on their carnices for some great festival. When the festival comes, they will form a procession, with each carnyx' head being carried on the shoulder of the person in front. A low hum emanates from them, stirring the guts of every festival goer. It is summer.
I think some of the Romans would've been freaked out, but most of the high ranking officers would've seen creatures like elephants, lions, and war dogs. They could probably prepare their infantry for the psychological/auditorial tactics the Celts used, which would've made them stronger. Other occasions make more sense, however I doubt they just had them "lying around", because it would take nearly up until the modern era for any large, organized group of people to give the common-person access to really any instruments.
I just finished watching the reconstructed sounds of the T Rex and wound up here. Could you imagine playing this from a mountain top in prehistoric times? Taunting the dinosaurs with this thing? Horrifying to think about
Playing this in a cave with candles burning is awesome. This reminds me a bit of a French horn, but there is something ancient about it as well. Now this Celtic lass knows what our Carnyx sounds like--thank you so much for uploading!
Tootoot mon gars ! 😅 Il n'y a pas tout à fait les mêmes altérations qu'au carnyx ? (Tain par contre quand tu la joue en mode didj' on a l'impression que tu y mets une disto, ça envoie !)
Oui le timbre et la justesse des notes n'est pas tout à fait la même, et la puissance n'est pas au même endroit que sur le carnyx. En mode didg je mets du chant aussi pour avoir cet effet, d'abord en voix de tête et en voix de poitrine ensuite.
