hey antti have you ever heard the "Launeddas"? it's an ancient musical instrument played by the natives of my island.

[@horseradishpower9947]

Cool, you're on Badcamp. I just followed you, will have to look at your music come pay day, and see what you have I want. You definitely play good music, based on what I heard with this track. Tha ks for sharing your music with us.

[@Skxnk_Hunt42]

This song is especially nostalgic sounding to me because of another Celtic artist, Adrian von Ziegler. His older music sounded a lot like this and helped me get through a pretty difficult time in my life. This collaboration was a splendid idea! Great performance, Ian! Your music makes the duller days brighter.

Both these guys are OGs

[@powerhouseofthecell9758]

This "Celtic" Genre, which I have only discovered today, speaks to me at a level so deep that the best explanation is that it is a continuation of the folk music of my ancestors. Celtic music is emblematic of the upcoming wave rejecting modernity and embracing tradition.

[@doublejace]

@@powerhouseofthecell9758 irish proverb/blessing for you cousin, "Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint and another one!"

[@SunRayz3r]

Yes, when it comes to this genre, Adrian von Ziegler and Antti Martikainen are my favorite Celtic artists.

[@kimmy4994]

@@powerhouseofthecell9758 And a little trivia: The cortex in the brain for language and music are distinct. Music is so important to humans that the brain litterally have a distinct cortex for it. Think about it! And celtic music is a kind of tribal one, the ones we had for millenia while still developping. I think that's why we love it so much (And do have a sense of kinship with others that appreciate it and feel it in their souls) Another one for you, the specific one that helped me during dark days: Wardruna - Lyfjaberg (Healing-mountain)

[@Lamberilio]

The amount of instruments this guy can play is mindblowing. But even more mindblowing is the amount of emotion he can pour into each one! A true musician indeed!

[@Ghostofpast]

The collab nobody expected. But the collab everyone needed.

[@marybeaird6171]

Wow! When the guitar came in at 1:51 I felt shades of Oldfield, in the best possible way.

[@gaufrid1956]

I had Anglo-Irish ancestors and I love music like this! I'm amazed at the talent of multi-instrumentalists. I can play the timbrel and the bodhran, and a few other percussion instruments, but nothing else.

[@i.leik.seaweed]

Bro, he's so skilled with those instruments 🤯

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

KZbin randomly recommended me this and I have no idea why. But it's absolutely gorgeous music and I'm loving it!

I was a druid so I had a huge shield the tiny foam dagger and a pouch with healing leafs (just leafs from a tree). well and a fist aid kit just in case

My heart is on fire and running after vivid images in my mind when I listen to this beautiful music.

Sir i am 1 of your fane I love all of your medievil orchestras and I really enjoy that that music. Those musics takes me to another place. I really love those music and I always hear this music every time because this music provides me energy and joy thank you very much

[@sabrinazouagui4532]

Envoûtant ! Je ne trouve pas les mots pour qualifier votre musique fabuleuse que j'écoute déjà depuis des années. Mais cette fois-ci j'ai été agréablement surprise de vous découvrir des sonorités dépourvues des son métalleux auxquels vous nous avez habitués dans vos morceaux épiques... Vous nous faites toujours vibrer autant ! Merci Antti et Ian Fantova pour toutes ces émotions ! Une grande admiratrice d'Algérie.

[@idontgiveashit5401]

Not just a new album but finally a non-metal themed one again. The instruments used in those just lack the power their songs try to convey.

[@EricHebting]

Nice song and video from the album I am looking forward to 🤩. Amazing Job 👍🏻
