Ascoustic - Guilhem Desq - Hurdy Gurdy

This clip was made by my brother Jori and his girlfriend Violaine while they were confined in the little village of Ascou, where I actually wrote this song surrounded by family about 10 years ago. The song was recorded live during my live-stream of Sunday 18 April.
This village has a strong place in my heart. and this song is the first song I wrote on my current hurdy gurdy.
Le clip a été réalisé par mon frère Jori et sa compagne Violaine, confinés dans le petit village d'Ascou, où j'ai écris cette chanson lors d'une session d'improvisation en famille il y a 10 ans environs.
La musique a été enregistré live durant le live-stream du dimanche 18 Avril 2020.
Ce village a une place importante dans ma vie et dans mon coeur, et cette chanson est la première que j'ai écrite avec ma vielle actuelle.

Ça fait quand même plaisir d'avoir une histoire musicale riche dans notre pays et qui continue de parler à des musiciens créatifs.

I cried. This feels like a collective spiritual outcry for going back to what we need. The abundant beauty paired with the quiet of the ghost town feeling is something we can all identify with right now. We need to slow down, take comfort in what we have, respect each other, and seek peaceful ways to bridge gaps. This music brings us together in miraculous ways and it's a blessing ❤

[@xaviernoe4149]

Takes me back to my childhood in France (Penne). :)

[@DillonHockett]

Oh no. I'm not crying, you're crying.. Mother of god, dude. I'm getting the most incredible feeling right now. It's indescribable. Thank you.

[@telawsonartzy6880]

As always your vision of music is truly wonderful.... thank you for sharing.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

So lovely and moving the scenery is an added treat

[@noah_hill]

wow

[@cfu7061]

So sweet that you took us to your hometown accompanied by this song ... that was peaceful and intriguing. And there's some sick streets there where I wouldn't want to drive.

[@luke_atthat]

Excellent ! Doux et poétique ! Very nice!!

[@D.2023]

What a journey! Got zoned out quick. Looks like you reinvented the instrument! Connecting it to all electronic shenanigans (effect pedals, software, loops, reverb etc) really makes it sound super modern. This is a guitar/viola with super cool tricks cuz of wheel mechanics. This instrument of yours is probably heavily modified? Never seen the technique of playing notes with fingers directly on string. And the reverb and "horse sound" made it sound like Mongolian Morin Khuur. Sick. I also like how you also master foot drums. You could add some wind instrument for full house xD overtone flute, or pan flute for bigger range (south American stuff). Guess would be at least a nice experiment! Pan flute is tricky to play, but it needs hand only to hold it. Basically free drone colours with new textures and special effects for ya xD Good luck!

I would gladly pay for a 12 hour album of various songs played by him. It's so soothing and entertaining.

[@hrvojebartulovic7870]

Respect!

[@jpeterson9087]

Nice. Very nice.

[@mrpain8899]

It's a wonderful 🔥

[@thoughtfuI]

As always, pure magic! I wonder, how much backlash that connection between the friction wheel and rotating arm have? It's not a direct drive, definitely, because rotation speeds are different. Looks like near zero, otherwise we would see some delay between arm swing and this staccato sound, see 3:00

[@stephenroberts7459]

Shaft of the wheel is the same as the crank - the two are directly linked!

👏👏👏Very good!

[@okxtan2648]

Where can we find this musical instrument?

[@jessicaaudate]

Good morning!

[@sleepyhead785]

I wish I could buy a Hurdy Gurdy like this but I have no idea where to get them.

[@user-ti8zt9wj8c]

мне очень интересно, возможно ли эту бесподобную музыку переложить на ноты?

[@Fuckhead1976]

You'd be pretty snobby too if your country was so pretty it made rust look good.
