Being home for a few weeks before the Piper’s Gathering has me practicing a lot and getting pipes made. Here’s the latest set out of Blackwood and Olive.
Here are two tunes done with a friend from Asheville on the guitar and myself on the border chanter. There is no reverb, no effects, no editing. Just a cheap mike and the instruments. It would have helped if we had played in a better acoustic space but it didn’t turn out too bad.
Teribus was in the studio this past weekend and we got a lot of good stuff put down for the second album. I can’t post any tracks yet but there’s a great video up on the website and I got my picture taken with one of my very professional recording artists when I wasn’t paying attention.
Now back to Asheville to make smallpipes for my very patient friends who are waiting on instruments!
After many attempts I got the metal to pour correctly onto the chanter in the two bands you see in the middle. It doesn’t affect how the chanter feels to play, surprisingly. I’m very happy to have completed this project. It took a long time but I learned a lot.
