www.mattmacisaa... Hi RU-vid! A couple of cool little reels for a cool day in Toronto: Becky Ewen The Hawk Moving Cloud mattmacisaacmusic mattmacisaac / mattrick78
Nice! Slightly disturbed by the guitar dissonances around 1:12, probably more foreshadowing I guess, but the rest is sublime. What's special about the chanter?
Haha! Yes, any dissonance is completely intentional... Nothing special about the chanter, it's a standard John Walsh long blackwood practice chanter. It's just the only thing I could use at the time, as I lived in a condo building. Cheers - Matt.
Hi John Smith, the cliché answer is practice - but the more specific answer is playing them very slowly, brushing your birl finger down to make a Low G, and pulling it back over to make another Low G. Really, even though it sounds obvious, it's harder to do that it sounds. Doing that very slowly, over and over, for 50 - 100 reps. Gradually you add speed... very gradually! You should be able to play a birl at 10 different speeds, not just slow and fast. The real control happens in the middle 8 speeds. I hope that helps.
@@VasilicaCascaval It would be pretty hard to circular breath on a whistle... you need a significant amount of back pressure (resistance) to be able to do it properly, and the whistle just doesn't have it.
