  • Awesome . . . . Bloody Awesome.

    I thought this was truly unbelievable. This guy has some serious talent and you can just tell that many MANY hours of practice have gone in to his skill. I love traditional hurdy gurdy and mediaeval stuff but this brings an old and exciting instrument into the 21st centuary with modern technology and performance . . . and with a great original sound too.

    Brilliant . . . awesome . . . . Amazing . . . .

  • With all due respect to Grégory, who is a diamond geezer and one of the best players I know, I'm starting to get a bit fed up with the evolution of the nerdy gurdy. It is now being seen as an acid test of the mastery of the instrument that it can be made to sound like something different, such as a 'cello. And I do find the added gizmos annoying. Nobody ever thought of rigging up a saxophone or a mandolin with added electronics, so why do it to the hurdy gurdy?

  • @irateofwatford A VERY good point and I have to agree that, although I am a big fan of the Hurdy Gurdy in its traditional form, I have succumbbed to this modern style. I really don't think the instrument loses ANY of its character by this take though. There is still a very different feel to both sides that cannot be listened to in the same way. One has a beautiful mediaeval feel and the other feels definitely upbeat and modern . . . hard to mix the two. But I do Agree.

  • @irateofwatford Because the gurdy lends itself perfectly to adaption like this, much more so than a sax or (to a certain extent) a mandolin. Although I must say I agree with you — not that electronic gizmos are bad, but that too many people are relying on them as a replacement for a solid melodic and rhythmic structure.

  • buena musica !!!!

  • Jesus christ. The looping effect is absolutely brilliant.

    So good. Thank you for this wonderful melody... Thank you so much.
