**** CANCELLED **** 9 MAY; 's-Graveland, NL: ANTI Hurdy-gurdy workshop by Efrén López Sanz

**** CANCELLED ****




Bij genoeg aanmeldingen, komt multi-instrumentalist en oude-muziek legende Efrén ( Efrén López Música) naar Nederland en zal hier een exclusieve workshop geven!! O.a. bekend van L'ham de Foc, Al Andaluz Project, Kelly Thoma, Ross Daly, Labyrinth... (lees onderop in het Engels een meer uitgebreide CV).
Een video van Efrén op draailier –


Deze workshop is gericht op draailierspelers van elk niveau, die graag hun huidige draailierspel willen uitbreiden door nieuw repertoire te incorporeren en door versieringen, frasering en ritme toe te voegen aan de gebruikelijke draailier techniek en stijl. Om dit te bereiken, zal Efrén de draailier uit haar gebruikelijke context halen (oude muziek, Europese folk) om vervolgens te 'besmetten' met andere tradities (Bulgaars, Grieks, Turks, Iraans, Afghaans..) en daar de interessante elementen uit destilleren om onze klank te verrijken, welke stijl je normaalgesproken ook speelt.
(dit onderwerp is ook interessant voor andere instrumenten behalve de draailier, mocht je graag deel willen nemen op een ander instrument, stuur me een PM!)
Bij interesse meldt je je aanwezig op dit evenement (is geheel vrijblijvend!!!), en geef je je voorkeur voor een datum door in de comments.

_________________________________________
* ENGLISH
This workshop is aimed to hurdy gurdy players of all levels who wish to expand the field of work of their instrument, incorporating new repertoires, ornaments, phrasing and rhythmics to the HG's techniques and common styles. In order to achieve that, we'll get the HG of their usual context (Early music, European Folk...) to "contaminate" it with other traditions (Bulgaria, Greece, Crete, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan...) distilling from them interesting elements to enrich our sound, whatever is the style we usually play. The tunings will use in the workshop are: chanters strings in D and A, drones in D, A, E, and G, and trompettes in D, A and Mi. Although not essential, knowledge of music theory and transposition are recommended.

• FOR SALE: Neil Brook Wren; near Atlanta, GA, US




submitted by Andrew Lentini –
Hello,

I have decided to try and sell my hurdy gurdy, made last year by Neil Brook. The model is the Wren, and is a pretty standard model without anything crazy. That said, it sounds amazing and has LOTS of volume (and sweet tone). It's in D. I ordered it from Neil and it arrived in mid-April, 2014.

I am just not playing it enough to justify it sitting in its case. Serious offers considered.
These pictures were taken by Neil when he shipped it to me. It looks the same now...no condition issues.



For specifications, Neil's Wren page is a wealth of information on this truly sweet instrument.

Happy to talk to you about it.
