Cooley's Reel (King of the Fairies)

Here's a tune that I played at my schools talent competition. It's my arrangement of THE traditional Irish tune Cooley's Reel using a looper (Line6 DL4) and effects processor with my EVL electric violin. There is also a short phrase from King of the Fairies.

The audio isn't great (used my digital camera)... a lot of the higher notes are cut out, so use your imagination. -_^

Hope you like!
Steve

*NOTE: My version cannot be considered traditional, and I don't intend it to be. The original tune that I based mine off of is traditional.*

Thats really cool!!! What equipment do you use for the loopings?

@8Wolff8

Hi, thanks for the compliment! When I made this video I was using a Line 6 DL4 for the loops. After that I move on to a Line 6 M13, and just this week started using a Roland AC 33.

How much was your fiddle? OH! and what brand is it?

Hi there, the fiddle was made by EVL (Electric Violin Lutherie) and it cost me about 1,200 at the time. It might be less, because at the time mine was quite custom. Their line has expanded a lot since then!

Hello, I really love your arrangement! That's the best Cooley's reel I've ever heard :). Do you have a mp3 version of that with a better sound quality you could send me?

HI, I love the way you put a modern twist on traditional tunes. I have been playing the fiddle for a couple of years, and I am gradually learing more irish tunes. chaisegilbert, I am having lessons from a classical violin teacher, and it helps no end with my technique, particularly the use of the bow,which can then be adapted to any type of music., Find a good violin teacher and you wil progress much quicker.
