Today I learned wtf a "Hurdy Gurdy" is.
I know Middle Age instruments demand godlike craftwork but this thing is ridiculous levels of complex. I thought I didn't like folk music, until I heard the bass drop on this Hurdy Gurdy track.
@RobertMaguire @sommer my favourite hurdy gurdy story is that when they made it a playable instrument in the video game Sea of Thieves, the recording artist played and they had to tell them, “that was incredible. Could you play it, uh…shittier? These are pirates playing waterlogged instruments.”
