By the way: it's Bandcamp Friday today, so go and purchase your wishlisted albums!

My warm recommendation this time is "Bird Songs" by Miranda Rutter. Inspired by birds and dotted withh beautiful snippets of field recordings, it feels like an hommage to our avian friends. A delightful album that made me laugh and cry. A beautiful match for spring time 🐦

EXTRAIT / PREVIEW

That’s great stuff about the “spicy unison” buttons tuned to the same note but slightly different so you can hear the sound beating in the recording

That’s the kind of thing I tend to do when I sit down with an instrument. My guilty secret is I can’t really play the accordion, I just play other people doing it on the radio

But I’ve built up an ear and the curiosity to mess about like this for hours

Electronic #Concertina what a treat 🎛️

I’ll have to write and ask what kind of concertina she plays and more of her story

There’s a picture here but no details

Everybody interested in #concertina and #accordion history should get Dan’s book

The Anglo-German concertina : a social history
(Don’t miss that there’s a vol 1 & 2)

He’s made it available for free on the #InternetArchive
https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_1-thWE5XRmsC 📚

But it’s worth having a physical copy, which have only ever been available POD, unfortunately on Amazon
