In my opinion this guy is one of the few whistle players you can hear without any other instrument... have a look at his compositions... man... bloody inspiering that is! GO BRIANN!
Am I the only one in the world that hates this guy's whistle playing or what? Come on, there is no lilt to this what so ever. He sounds like a midi file!
I've had a Flook CD. I think it was called "Haven." I just think that flook sounds very mechanical and that bodhran player is like a drum machine. They are no doubt very "skilled" musicians, but they just don't play irish music. It's like comparing "modern smooth jazz" to a miles davis quintet album.
While looking through videos, I came back to this one... I'm not sure why your comment was rated at -6 >_>...
Coming back real quick, if you ever get the chance, listen a bit to Flook's "Flatfish" album. Haven is nice, but Flatfish has a more ad-lib atmosphere. It is still quite far from Irish music, though... Quite contemporary.

I think his playing here is from a tutorial CD, so it's understandable that it's fairly straightforward and almost boring.
If you listen to him playing with Flook, it's a lot better.

JSC,
I've had a Flook CD. I think it was called "Haven." I just think that flook sounds very mechanical and that bodhran player is like a drum machine. They are no doubt very "skilled" musicians, but they just don't play irish music. It's like comparing "modern smooth jazz" to a miles davis quintet album.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Personal taste, I guess.

True.

which type of whistle uses brian? Is that a chieftain?
alonsovg08 4 years ago
He primarily uses Overton whistles which, I believe, is what he's using there. Though, on occasion, he does use Kerry whistles.
