Eigenharp Alpha: Tiger in the Grass / Richard Dwyer's

Two tunes recorded on the Eigenharp alpha. The first is a tune of my own invention - maybe the first folktune ever written for Eigenharp! The second is a tune called Richard Dwyer's Reel.

This is the most recent take after a series of failed attempts - there's nearly a major disaster at about 0:24, and again at 3:02 ish, but since you can't look at the keys while using the breathpipe, it's a good enough attempt for now!

Apologies for the clicking noises here and there, it's my poor macbook struggling under the weight of photobooth, audacity, omnisphere, three apple loops, a clarinet physical model, and a 2GB piano sampler. Me needs more memory...

@santiano42 want help or you will make it ? :P

[santiano42]

@epicfailmusician Well I play trad scottish music so sheet music isn't something I do often! Basically all the tunes I play I've learnt by ear, but this is a new tune I couldn't just sing to myself so I'd need my computer with me to try and pick it up.

@santiano42

1 - you want a sheet because you have an eigenharp and do the same ?

2 - learning by listening and try to reproduce the notes is not possible for you ? :P in this case i can do it for you and give you a midi file or at least give you the notes (rythms may be incorrects)

[santiano42]

I love Tiger in the Grass! I don't suppose you have sheet music for it and would allow me to have a shot at learning it?
