Sheet Music – Khronokrator, a new composition by Efrén López Sanz





ENG / CAT / ESP
Khronokrator, a new composition (3 pages) for hurdy gurdy to be included soon in the first album of our electric project EAR, featuring Adrian Perales on drums and Raül Bonell (Kavstik Kurva) on Warr guitar.
The tune is written following the rhythmic cicle of the Bulgarian dance "Kopanitsa" (11/8 divided 2+2+3+2+2) with some variations here and there (3+3+3+2 and others), although keeping always subjacent the initial 11 beats pattern.
It modulates between several modes in different keys (you'll find them written on every change: RE, MI, DO, SOL), , thus it's virtually imposible to change the drones for all them that quickly since all the melodies are very busy. To solve that, I play a bass line using a MIDI foot keyboard and my own drone samplers. Enjoy!

Khronokrator, una nova composició (3 pàgines) per a viola de roda que s'inclourà aviat en el primer àlbum del nostre projecte elèctric EAR, amb Adrian Perales a la bateria i Raül Bonell (Kavstik Kurva) a la Warr guitar.
La melodia està escrita seguint el cicle rítmic de la dansa búlgara "Kopanitsa" (11/8 dividit 2+2+3+2+2) amb algunes variacions ací i allà (3+3+3+2 i d'altres), tot i que manté sempre subjacent el patró inicial d'onze temps.
Modula entre diversos modes en diferents tonalitats (els trobareu escrits a cada canvi:RE, MI, DO i SOL), per la qual cosa és pràcticament impossible canviar els bordons a temps, ja que totes les melodies són prou complexes. Per tal de resoldre aquest problema, toque la línia de baixos amb un teclat MIDI de peu i els meus propis samples de bordons. Bon profit!

Two Score and More Scores Review by Quentin Budworth




'Two Score' (Cat No: Blowzabella4) 

'Two Score'– Blowzabella’s latest album is a joy holding a cornucopia of great tunes and songs. Each track is very different to the others reflecting the contrasting musical voices and interests within the band and this keeps the listener on their toes which of course is a great thing for any dance band.

The band’s line-up features world class traditional musicians playing to their strengths with wit, musicality and panache. The price of the album is a small one to spend time in the company of Andy Cutting, Jo Freya, Paul James, Gregory Jolivet, David Shepherd, Barn Stradling and Jon Swayne playing beautifully together throughout proceedings.

Two Score side steps the earlier Blowzabella wall of sound approach, having a much more dynamic approach to arrangements often featuring duets and trios within the music and this really works. The band create lovely dynamics and textures keeping the sound interesting and constantly changing, with different players and instruments taking their turn to come to the fore.

There are four songs on the album and Jo Freya is in fine voice throughout. The pared down instrumentation of ‘Blackberry Fold’ providing a perfect backdrop for her emotive singing. Another favourite is ‘The Uttoxeter Souling Song/Turners’ which features close harmony vocals from Jo Freya and Paul James and which segues seamlessly into Andy Cutting’s big jig ‘Turners.’

One of the stand out tracks is ‘The Lark Descending / Bushes & Briars.’ ‘The Lark Descending’ originally composed by Paul James as a 'rant step' dance and companion to his tune ‘Falco’ is played beautifully by Dave Shepherd as a fiddle led intro to set the scene for the song ‘Bushes & Briars’ sung by Paul James.

But what of the dance tunes I hear you ask? Well the album abounds with them from Gregory Jolivet’s tune ‘Cé’ a fuzzy pentatonic rock waltz which flips between minor and major in a most balletic way. Jo Freya’s SCCS Polka set is a delight, some future session favourites to be found here. Dave Shepherd’s rearrangement of his father’s tunes for ‘The Grenoside Processional’ will keep the folk dancers and English traditional musicians entertained whilst ‘Conteeta’ a 3/8 bourree by Paul James dazzles us with its fiery opening and fierce virtuosity. Jon Swayne’s ‘481’ delights the ear with its ease and relaxed musicality whilst ‘Juggler’s Jig,’ composed by Barnaby Stradling, was written in memory of the shining star who was Jasper King: Chipolata, entertainer, nutcase and gentle man.

Two Score is a great album by a remarkable band. It really is a joy to listen to from start to finish. I can’t wait to see the band playing the material from the new album live. Blowzabella are immersed in English and European folk traditions and over the years have written much new music to delight audiences and players from all over the world. This album has something for everyone and I’m sure many of the tunes will be played in sessions throughout Europe.


I had the pleasure of listening to the album with the accompanying tune book ‘More Scores’ in front of me which really was fantastic experience. ‘More Scores’ is beautifully laid out book and features the tunes and songs from the albums: ‘Two Score’ and ‘Strange News’ hats off to Jon Swayne for his sterling work scoring, editing and compiling it. Dance instructions are by Dave Shepherd and songs are also included in the book which at £12.00 or £6.00 for the pdf is a bargain.

You can preview or purchase ‘Two Score’ and ‘More Scores’ direct from the Blowzabella shop on the band website as a download mp3s or PDF, or in physical form CD or book – here’s the link:

blowzabella.co.uk/shop

Go on you know you want too! In my opinion the ‘Two Score’ CD at £10 is probably the best tenner you will spend this year. Maybe this year will see Blowzabella get a well-earned lifetime achievement award. After all it takes a certain bloody mindedness, gritty determination and abundance of talent to artfully champion drone based folk music for two score years whilst adding to and developing the living tradition.

▶ NEW CD :: LA BELLE VIELLEUSE – Virtuoso Hurdy Gurdy in the 18th c. France – Tobie Miller


Au temps de Madame de Pompadour, la vielle à roue (tout comme la musette) bénéficient d’un succès important. Elle se mesure aux autres instruments et, comme nous le montrent plusieurs tableaux, bénéficie de faveurs des dames de l’aristocratie.
Plusieurs méthodes sont éditées, dont celle de Michel Corrette (La belle vielleuse) et certains virtuoses comme Danguy ou Dupuits poussent les limites techniques dans leurs derniers retranchements. Son charme est célébré par les poètes dont les textes inspirent les cantates. C’est entre la Cour et les bergeries que nous conduit ce programme de découvertes...
In the time of Madame de Pompadour, the hurdy-gurdy, like the musette, enjoyed a great success. It was considered to be on a level with other instruments and, as can be seen in various paintings, was highly regarded by the ladies of the aristocracy. Several books of instruction for the instrument were published, one of which was Michel Corrette’s La belle vielleuse; virtuoso players such as Danguy and Dupuits extended its playing techniques to their limits. The instrument’s charm was sung by various poets whose words were then set as cantatas. The unknown works that constitute this recording place it firmly in the French court of the time with its stylised pastoral diversions.

▶ Nouveau CD Gilles Poutoux/Jean Luc Gueneau "Chemin de La Bergaudière | new facebook page: "Jean -Luc Gueneau Gilles Poutoux"



Nouveau CD Gilles Poutoux/Jean Luc Gueneau "Chemin de La Bergaudière - YouTube
Published on Jul 6, 2017 by Gilles Poutoux
Si la musique vous a plu, commander ce CD à 15 €
en me contactant par mail: gpoutoux@yahoo.fr



C’est dans l’enthousiasme de leurs jeunes années que Jean-Luc Gueneau et Gilles Poutoux se sont rencontrés, au sein du groupe FUBU qui pratiquait les musiques traditionnelles du Centre France. Ce fut là un moment décisif de leur parcours musical. Le groupe animait alors quantité de bals populaires dans toute la France. *(English below)*

La fin de l’expérience FUBU les mènera sur des chemins musicaux différents, qui permettra à chacun de nourrir des affinités particulières, d’affiner sa propre pratique instrumentale. Ils chercheront néanmoins à explorer plus en détail tel pan de la musique à danser « traditionnelle » et plutôt populaire, qu’ils n’ont d’ailleurs jamais cessé de la cultiver depuis le premier jour.
Longtemps éloignés par les circonstances, ils se sont retrouvés récemment au hasard de leur passion commune, et ont décidé de former un duo : Mélodéon Vielle à roue.Original par sa composition instrumentale, ce duo aborde le répertoire du Morvan et du Nivernais d’une façon authentique, offrant une simplicité riche de leur grande expérience, mâtinée de quelque audace.
* (google translate) It was in the enthusiasm of their young years that Jean-Luc Guenneau and Gilles Poutoux met in the groupe group, which practiced traditional French music. This was a decisive moment in their musical journey. The band then animated a lot of popular dances throughout France. 
The end of the experience will lead them to different musical paths, which will allow everyone to feed special affinities, to refine their own instrumental practice. However, they will seek to explore more in detail such a pan of "traditional" and rather popular dance music, which they have never stopped cultivating since day one.
Long distances from the circumstances, they recently found themselves at random from their common passion, and decided to form a duo: Mélodéon old wheel. Original by its instrumental composition, this duo addresses the repertoire of the morvan and du in an authentic way, offering a rich simplicity of their great experience, mâtinée of some audacity.

Guilhem Desq is an electric hurdy gurdy player from France, offering a surprising journey around his unusual instrument.
Although he draws his energy from his instrument’s tradition, he gets his inspiration mainly from modern music and improvisation. He keeps exploring the endless sound possibility of the hurdy gurdy to create an universe where places, times and feelings are all mixed together, and in which he proposes us to travel, for a few turns of his wheel…

New Album – Scott Marshall "Gurdymania" (samples)

Scott Marshall's new album is an inspiring experience!

Artwork by Claire Jennings; Design by Jon Loomes



"It's just hurdy-gurdies, just me, no other instruments or any singing or that sort of thing, but it is quite a remarkable thing. Comments about the album so far have included, 'a work of bloody genius', 'mesmerizing', 'reminds me of tubular bells', 'I am so proud of you' (my little sister said that one) and 'a really important piece of music'" – Scott M.
Here is the last half of the tune Catbear from the album, Gurdymania. It was recorded by Jon Loomes at Talking Cat Studios in Ripponden The main tune & trompette were recorded on a Wolfgang Weichselbaumer Allegro ( a fab little gurdy, fitted with a dog made by Claire Dugué) The harmony parts & riff overdubs were added using the top g string of a Dugué Exo Alto.

"Recording the album Gurdymania: it took 3 weekend trips on the train to Yorkshire, 7 days in all , over a period of almost a year, I used 7 different hurdy-gurdies , different tunings, different vintage delay and tape echo pedals, different pickups and microphones. Super-Polymath Jon Loomes was a total boffin in his ability to get the sound in my head onto the record."

Track 8 from new Hurdy~Gurdy Album

Hurdy-gurdy Superhero Cliff Stapleton has a copy & said:
"Your album is lovely and exceedingly unique as it is unlike anything else.You should be very pleased.It is undertaken with great sensitivity."

Other comments & messages about the album so far have included:
'a work of bloody genius'
'mesmerizing'
'reminds me of tubular bells'
'I am so proud of you' (his little sister said that one)
'A really important piece of music'
'Hello Scott, this is a very good CD'

'Very impressive'
'some hauntingly beautiful pieces'
'Thanks for the CD which I have enjoyed listening to. The cover art is good too'
'I got your CD though and thank you very much. I enjoyed it, some good tunes. Still into your prog rock!  🙂'

Listening to it as I write. A very nice backdrop to programming computers...
'That there Frogspawn is one of the sweetest tunes ever.'
'Really enjoying the album Scott it's a masterpiece 🙂'
CD arrived in the post today - brilliant, mate. Well done indeed!
Celtarabia says: "We're enjoying listening to Scott Marshall's lovely solo Hurdy-Gurdy album it's highly recommended and well worth checking out. Called 'Gurdymania' it features only Hurdy Gurdy and is by turn traditional, Eastern European, classical and at times quite psychedelic. It's a remarkable album in many ways a masterpiece and a real work of heart."

♫ homerecords.be -Valentin Clastrier / Steven Kamperman - Fabuloseries♫



Brand new release by the 'godfather of modern hurdy-gurdy', Valentin Clastrier: 'FABULOSERIES'

The French 'living legend' Valentin Clastrier is generally regarded as the inventor of the modern hurdy-gurdy: he has transformed this traditional drone instrument into a virtuoso sound machine. His playing is full of surprises, like his career: his start as guitarist with Jacques Brel eventually led him to many years of cooperation with European jazz heroes like Louis Sclavis, Michel Godard and Michael Riessler.
Until 2012, clarinetist, composer and crossover wizard Steven Kamperman was known mainly for his work with his Turkish-Dutch ensemble Baraná, with which he performed from Mexico to Siberia. His impassioned playing reveals a background in jazz and a special love for modal music.
With mesmerizing drone tones and compelling rhythms as a base, Kamperman and Clastrier blend chromatic melodies with fabulous sounds and intense improvisations. A spectacular duo that definitely 'rocks'!

First Review of The Tumbling of Creatures | Cliff Stapleton




On the 20th August, a review of The Tumbling of Creatures by Uwe Schneider was published in the alternative arts Berlin online magazine African Paper
A translation into English by Marie-Laure Royds:
CLIFF STAPLETON AND FRIENDS: The Tumbling of Creatures
The hurdy-gurdy has the reputation of being a rather antiquated instrument but in reality it has left its marks in many types of music, modern ones as well as more traditional ones. Since the Middle Ages, it has spread in courtly and popular contexts and today we see it used in a whole palette of musical orientations, from contemporary folk to rock music, including the so-called modern classical music.
Few artists embody this multiplicity as strongly as the Englishman Cliff Stapleton who, coming from the folk but also from the theatre scene, has found his way as far as in the experimental areas of dark electronica. He has played on stage and in studios with acts such as Coil, Thighpaulsandra and Cyclobe, amongst others, but up to now, here in Germany, we didn’t know much more about him than the fact that he is not related to Steven Stapleton. His CD “The Tumbling of Creatures. Music for the Hurdy-Gurdy” offers a solid selection of music pieces that Cliff Stapleton recorded over the past twenty years or so in different constellations – with bands, in temporary collaborations and, on one occasion, as a solo player.
One main part is made up of recordings with bands belonging to the folk scene in various forms, many of which present a very danceable variation with a slight renaissance streak, like Angles’ trance-inducing “Kicksy-Wicksy”. The essentially earthy tune “Huckle-Duckle” from Primæval contains influences of Breton music. The two pieces by The Drones, and the contributions from Blowzabella (that really make you want to sway at times) and the Duellists combine this with an underlying drone sound that is naturally produced directly from the drone strings of the hurdy-gurdy.
The second half of the compilation is dedicated to Cliff Stapleton’s experimental enterprises, and the spectrum slowly moves into the realms of the innovative and improvised in various shapes and forms. For one you have the phantasmagorical tune “The Labyrinth” with Bron Bradshaw, who accompanies him on a bouzouki*, with occasional Irish variations, and slowly develops a melody that just sticks in your head. And then there is the disarranged, including an impro-trio with Sylvia Hallett and Clive Bell. His one-minute solo track “Scent” also belongs to this mood, basing on an ostensible drone with a truly one-dimensional effect and in the crannies of which lurks something very minimal. The readers of our pages will most likely be more familiar with his contributions to Cyclobe and Coil. “We’ll Witness the Resurrection of Dead Butterflies (Three Moons)” by Cyclobe features Cliff Stapleton’s hurdy-gurdy more than any other piece from the “Wounded Galaxies…” – our reviewer describes it appropriately as “incredibly dense” and he draws parallels with Coil’s (comparatively subtly disturbing) album “The Remote Viewer” which features on the CD with a representative extract of their first section.
At the end of a good hour’s music, it remains among other things the impression of a great transformability, which is not necessarily just due to a wide spectrum of playing styles but simply to Cliff Stapleton’s art of connecting, through his repertoire, with the most varied situations in a perfectly natural way. Thanks to the unique tone of this instrument (which the untrained ear would always find slightly exotic), he has given to all these projects an unusual overtone, which will carry particular weight for those electronic bands who are very distant from early music.
* The bouzouki mentioned is a hammered dulcimer  [CS]
