This piece from the forest triptych is brought together by the three core elements: shruti drones, the bowed zither and field recordings.

This is inspired by a midnight swim during the autumn equinox. The shruti box’s drones blend with the bowed zither, echoing like geese calls, accompanied by field recordings of the secretive lake.

We should have an @accordionnoir Quiz Episode where Listeners Guess The #FreeReed (or other) Instrument!

Try your ear and pick out the #Accordion #Concertina #Bandoneon #Bayan #Harmonion #Harmonica #ShrutiBox #Bagpipes #HurdyGurdy?

Then we play a @Lankum song that has all those instruments at once 🙄

Their live videos help pick apart the ingredients, but we haven’t got them for all the songs on the new record!

They use a #ShrutiBox or #harmonium for a reed drone I think?
Having a wee warble with my #shrutibox this evening. 'Lullay My Liking' is a #15thcentury English Christmas carol and lullaby - the word 'lullaby' derives from the Middle English 'lullen' and is thought to have originated from sounds used by mothers to lull their infants to sleep. Hoping to record a full (and better quality) version of this for my #patreon soon! #christmascarol #lullaby #folksongs #englishfolkmusic #folksinging

#Lankum have many riveting live performance videos. These have a unique utility of confirming the instruments that make their drone-y reedy sound unique in modern #FolkMusic

"Love Is Kind" draws their Cold Old Fire record to a close, and here it is live, with #Concertina #Fiddle #Guitar #Flute #BagPipes, and that's a #ShrutiBox! (#Drone #Harmonium without a keyboard)
