For Those Lost at Sea - Composed by John Mock, arranged by Gary Coover

there was some rain today before the winter storm rolled in and my fiddlin' friend and I took the opportunity of the moderate-by-comparison afternoon weather to film some atmospheric videos for our instagram.

#he did not consent to having his face on my cringeblog so i cropped it a lil #concertina #anglo concertina #sea songs #concertina posting #also definitely inspired by some fellow tina players on tumblr to record this one!!!

Stagi Anglo Concertina 30 key G/D

Stagi Gremlin 30 key Anglo concertina model W15E in the keys of G/D, Italian made. For some reason two reed plates had been fitted the wrong way up. I returned them to their proper position, to give the instrument the standard Wheatstone layout. The G/D Anglo concertina is possibly better suited to English music than the C/G (some might argue).  Please see demo video below – it has a great sound.

St James Infirmary on Anglo Concertina

played on a ~1980s 30 button Anglo C/G concertina, by me.

fun little Breton andro I’ve been working on! its called War Hent Kerrigourc’h or On the Road to Kerrigourc’h, and its pretty simple even if I am struggling haha.

one of the first things I’ve managed to learn wholly by ear which is exciting! it does sound much better with back up, though....

#some of the very slightly off notes of my concertina are really obvious here #but with others (and particularly with strings or a harp) it doesnt stand out as much

Pick up a instrument when learning music theory! It makes it more natural that way. Can be a really cheap instrument like a recorder

I have a 20 key anglo concertina

I’m pretty sure this directly affects you if you want to learn an Irish instrument: It’s a stunning new anglo concertina course created by McNeela Music Instruments and one of Ireland’s top traditional Irish musicians, Jack Talty, and it will show you how you can learn this iconic Irish instrument, fast! And only for you , because you are a McNeela subscriber, I’m letting you in on a very…

I just had the same person who asked a question (that I answered) mansplain how an instrument that I play works 😂

#personal #I'm well aware that an Anglo concertina produces different notes on the push and pull because I do in fact play an Anglo #I'm also aware that the technical term for that is bisonoric #glad this was explained to me by somebody who was unsure if the musician in question was playing an Anglo or a Duet #which are fairly easy to tell apart by the type of handstrap and shape and number of keys

[opinatus-papaver]

In which I show the outcome of 3 hours trying to work out how the hell concertinas actually work (hint: the buttons have no order for notes it’s chaos). Then trying to memorise a simple tune. Plus remembering if I have to push or pull the bellows for the right note. Also my little finger don’t stretch too good. Also also that goddamn’d D key keeps sticking...

But all in all, not bad for three hours practice with bare minimum musical knowledge.  THIS MARKS MY FIRST STEP IN SQUEEZEBOXERY

tfw when this tune haunts you through the fields of hyrule and then it also haunts u in your own life bc ur in a band full of nerds and they wanna put together a zelda medley

#hi this isnt perfect but when have i ever posted a video of me playing the concertina perfectly right #just keeping to tradition #and also this song was not written with the anglo concertina in mind lmao #breath of the wild #the legend of zelda #kass theme #botw #oh and also the medley slaps #i fuck this song up every time but ive got the oom pahs of song of storms down pat 😂 #and also also no one in my band actually made me learn this i just inflicted it upon them #they are a bunch of nerds tho #anglo concertina

[eusuchia]

100% fantastic that two main concertina types are called, bafflingly, english and anglo. the anglo is diatonic, ie. same button plays two notes depending on whether you’re pushing/pulling, which makes it faster to switch if you’re good at it. so naturally, the main players of anglo concertinas are irish

#irish musicians saw an instrument and were like cool but what if it was faster #'anglo' was originally 'anglo-german' but got shortened of course to be as hilarious as possible.

[eggmixercortex]

performed by me, on a 30-button C/G anglo concertina :]

this is probably one of my favourite songs of all time for concertina - i think of all the things i can play it is the most fun. a while ago i used to be able to play it with my eyes closed but life got away from me and im pretty rusty now

#concertina is a little out of tune but whatever #its old n its not like i can fix that lol

A Huge Post about Wild Fun Facts

I write Ask-LU-Wild, so I look up a lot of stuff about BotW in particular. So I thought it’d be fun to put some things I’ve learned about this game during my time in the fandom. I put some links so you can see what I’m talking about. By the way, if you see me switching from Wild to Link, it’s probably because I’m leaning more into the game than talking about LU.

1. Starting off with a not-necessarily-wild fact. Kass’s instrument is most similar to a bandoneon, which is a type of concertina, not an accordion. That’s why I thought it’d be nice to give Wild an anglo concertina (I have a 20 key anglo concertina because of this...).

2. Apparently the ancient Sheikah technology takes heavy inspiration from art made in the Jomon period (14500-300 BCE)

3. Some of the food in Breath of the Wild caught my eye, based on their descriptions and their game sprites.

   -Goron spice starts off as spicy, but then gets sweet. It reminds me of what I’ve learned about Japanese curry, which is sweet. I’ve only had Guyanese curry so I wouldn’t know first hand. But it’s possible that the curries made in BotW are based on Japanese curry.

  -Egg Tarts are pasteis de natas, which are from Portugal. They’re popular in Japan and other Asian countries.

  -Fish Pies are similar to Taiyaki in appearance. Taiyaki is actually a sweet cake, not made with actual fish. These are actually street food and are made with a certain type of pan (it reminds me of a waffle pan). Even though BotW fish pies are probably... dough wrapped around the fish to get its shape (idk I don’t cook), what if Wild did get his hands on one of these pans and made actual Taiyaki?

4. Paya, in Creating a Champion, is stated to be around Link’s age. Specifically 18-20. It’s possible that Wild is Nintendo-canonically around 17-21. This is gonna be one of the only images I put in this post just so you can see the dev notes from CaC

5. After spending enough time looking at HEMA videos for reference, I’ve come here to say, either the swords in Breath of the Wild are WAY too heavy, or Link really doesn’t know how to handle a zweihander. I know it’s pretty much the same animation used for certain weapon classes and that it’s a game so things are gonna be a little slow, and he does have amnesia, but god damn. I personally think the swords are just too heavy or something. Maybe Hyrule is ass at making swords.

  -Eightfolod longblades look like Odachi

 6. The outfit Link wears in the BotW 2 Trailer reminds me of a Greek chiton and chlamys. The sword also gave off gladius or xiphos vibes. I’d like to say xiphos, that way it matches more with the Ancient Hellenic vibes. Gladius swords are Roman.

7. Idk how much LoZ people care about Xenoblade, but I do. I hear a total number of 0 people talk about the fact that Link/Wild has Rex’s salvager outfit (DLC) and it’s a disservice. 

8. Again, not necessarily Wild, but Mipha's jewelry has a Minish Cap Water Element on it.

9. According to Zeltik, Link can parrey whole Lynels and Taluses (Tali?). I’m aware it’s a video just for fun but he can still do it! Link also, and I can not stress this enough, pushes boulders twice-three times his height. He lifts big rocks and barrels above his head! What I’m saying is he’s STRONG.

10. The earrings you get from the Gerudo jeweler are all clip-ons.

11. Nintendo... on the same page... noted that Link was born from a line of knights, very well trained and experienced... but is not nobility.

I call bullshit every day of the week but I'll leave that for another day.

12. This is specifically LU point. Just a little food for thought, IDK if anybody else has talked about it or used it. I usually see people blaming Wild’s amnesia on the shrine, which is possible. I also saw a post saying that maybe Wild has dissociative amnesia, which is also possible! I never saw anybody bring up the concept art for Wild though.

Explosive damage from a guardian, probably, directly to the head? It’s a surprise that it’s still on at all.

I don’t wanna go into too much detail, because what I’m thinking is quite gruesome. If you’d like me to elaborate on this, or any other note feel free to ask. And if there is anything you noticed that you would like to add, then please do. As you can see, I like this funky little dude!

Dublin

Louis MacNiece

Grey brick upon brick, Declamatory bronze On sombre pedestals – O’Connell, Grattan, Moore – And the brewery tugs and the swans On the balustraded stream And the bare bones of a fanlight Over a hungry door And the air soft on the cheek And porter running from the taps With a head of yellow cream And Nelson on his pillar Watching his world collapse.

This never was my town, I was not born or bred Nor schooled here and she will not Have me alive or dead But yet she holds my mind With her seedy elegance, With her gentle veils of rain And all her ghosts that walk And all that hide behind Her Georgian facades – The catcalls and the pain, The glamour of her squalor, The bravado of her talk.

The lights jig in the river With a concertina movement And the sun comes up in the morning Like barley-sugar on the water And the mist on the Wicklow hills Is close, as close As the peasantry were to the landlord, As the Irish to the Anglo-Irish, As the killer is close one moment To the man he kills, Or as the moment itself Is close to the next moment.

She is not an Irish town And she is not English, Historic with guns and vermin And the cold renown Of a fragment of Church latin, Of an oratorical phrase. But oh the days are soft, Soft enough to forget The lesson better learnt, The bullet on the wet Streets, the crooked deal, The steel behind the laugh, The Four Courts burnt.

Fort of the Dane, Garrison of the Saxon, Augustan capital Of a Gaelic nation, Appropriating all The alien brought, You give me time for thought And by a juggler’s trick You poise the toppling hour – O greyness run to flower, Grey stone, grey water, And brick upon grey brick.

Knew this the entire time, but gee I sure wish Kass said bandoneon so then there would be representation of the existence of other instruments besides the accordion, and youtube comments quit arguing about it being a concertina which isn't enough information on its own. The english/anglo concertina isn't a bandoneon but in other references the word concertina would be engraved on bandoneons because structurally it's just a large concertina.
