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.

@@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.

[@antonios.5147]

in a world of f*cking Ai-generated Medieval Music, thanks a lot for your awesome work!

[@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.

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

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

[@danid2408]

Can i just say that this guy here is a beast?! I mean, all those instruments by himself?! Now that is to be respected, amazing!

[@i.leik.seaweed]

Bro, he's so skilled with those instruments 🤯

[@Riri-mari]

I like the tone and performance of the flute around 1:12 ♪ Thank you very much for the wonderful Celtic music! ︎

Un grand MERCI pour la MAGNIFIQUE MUSIQUE CELTIC!

[@lucasgama5915]

after a year waiting for a new album, finally! I can look into another wonderful song of yours, with the participation of Ian, who is another fantastic composer that I follow. Happy birthday! big success for you.

[@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.

[@Ranger797]

Absolutely Amazing, Great Jan Fontova

[@Puremiu]

Another great instrumental folk song by Antti and Ian Fontova, cant wait to hear the full album!

[@user-tutu]

没错我也喜欢他们俩

[@Elfontaur]

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

[@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.

[@etherd]

I absolutely love this song.

[@C010rbl1nd]

that flute really have the most enchaning sound, only once ever I have herd it, It was at a rollplaying event, yes foam swords and green painted kids as orcs. 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

Was intrigued because I saw a couple pipe chanters in it, as I am a Uilleann Pipe Chanter with synthetic reeds Nothing beats self powered instruments, aka: acoustic instruments.
