🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Martyn Bennett "Grit" – 2003

Raw, defiant and utterly groundbreaking. Grit fuses ancient Scottish folk vocals with heavy electronics and breakbeats, creating a sound that's both tribal and futuristic. A powerful tribute to resilience and tradition, made all the more poignant by Bennett’s own health struggles during its creation...

Psychedelic Dervish - Smoke Circle [Full Album] #Folktronica #Downtempo #DesertMusic

I've recorded a couple of probably quite non-traditional versions of the fiddle tune Maggie Watson's Farewell to Blackhammer using a home made electric guitar, amp, and hide rattles, plus some other odds and ends played badly.

Warning: Michael Prater's Farewell to Blackhammer contains bad language (and some #synth).

If that sounds interesting there's more information and links to listen on my website.

#folktronica

Here's a traditional French/Canadian #folk song, played on a tremolo #harmonica (Suzuki Humming in D) with some electronic backing (making it #electrofolk of #folktronica )

I recorded this back in January (2025)

It's called "Isabeau s'y proméne", there are various variants of this song- and even more variants on the overall theme: the lost ring (you can see various variants on the theme here: https://www.chants-populaires-francais.com/Regroups/Anneau_perdu./princip.html )

"All is not lost but time is fast running out. The revolution will not be televised but there is strength in numbers and the music is better in the resistance."
