Píobaireachd, "piping", also spelt pibroch (in Lowland Scots), is an art #Music that emerged during the 16th century. The music was likely older, originating from clàrsach ceòl mór, transferring to fiddle, to the Great Highland #Bagpipes, and then developing to match the technical abilities of the #Instrument. The overall format is basic slow theme plus ever-expanding variations, up to 20 at times, so píobaireachd pieces can be fairly lengthy.

Universal Hub · Farm plans celebration of life for beloved Scottish Highland steer; seeks volunteer who can play the bagpipes to help send him offAllandale Farm is planning a celebration of life on Sunday for Willard, one of their two Highland steers, who died this past weekend. In e-mail to farm supporters, the farm writes: Read more.
Today’s exciting delivery - hummelchen! That is to say bagpipes in G with the same fingering as my Swaynes, but that are quiet enough for me to, in good conscience, actually practice regularly as they aren’t deafening.
Shocked? I hope so...

Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the glens and the mountains of Scotland. It’s The Red Hot Chilli Pipers (not the Peppers)!

Why to St. Paul’s, my Dear? What make you chuse
A Church that Jacobites and Papists use,
Where English Mass is lyrick’d o’er by Boys,
And Popish Bagpipes make a hideous Noise?

The Bottle Imp · The Scottish Bagpipe: Political and Religious Symbolism in English Literature and Satire - The Bottle ImpIf you try typing the word ‘bagpipe’ in Google Images, you might be forgiven for assuming the bagpipe world extends little beyond Scotland. Out of the first fifty images, only two show non-Highland bagpipes. This is indeed a culturally interesting detail, since there are hundreds of different kinds of bagpipe in the world — from […]

I don't have anything new for #BandcampFriday, but if anyone is interested in my album of instrumental music, mainly fiddle tunes, played by celtic musicians Saskia Tomkins, Steafan Hannigan, here's the link:

There are also three books of fiddle tune sheet music on the merch page.
Seems as though the towns bagpiper (bagpipist?) has awoken from hibernation. I assume all towns have one? #bagpipes

I has been a while since I shared personal and work stuff on social media. I want to give Mastodon a try, so here's something I've done back in 2020.
It's a detail from the album art I did for Gambuzinos's medieval music album Discussões Com Jograis.

Some more #bagpipes…
The bock or Bohemian #bagpipe includes various single-drone instruments from Czechia, Poland, Austria and southern Germany. It was first mentioned in the Zbraslav chronicle, written between 1335-1339. Its revival has mostly happened in Czechia, but it's gaining ground in Austria too. A typical bock is bellows-blown, allowing the piper to sing along, and features a drone 2 octaves below the chanter's root note.

I've been on the Fediverse since January 2017. I initially ran a single-user instance of Mastodon. In March 2020 I started to write Ktistec, my own implementation of an ActivityPub server in Crystal (a language with the ergonomics of Ruby but the speed of Go) because I wanted something more supportive of writing. This #introduction was written and published on Epiktistes, my Ktistec instance.
I'm an Engineer by training but now I run teams for companies in climate-tech.
I love #music, #sciencefiction and #fantasy literature (yes, I'm an R. A. Lafferty fan), attend fan conventions like #worldcon and #dragoncon, and do regular #weightlifting. I am also learning to play the #bagpipes, and I'm (re)learning #japanese.

Happy New Year's Eve (or New Year's Day depending on where you live). Here is a link to a video that I took earlier this month on a visit to Oamaru, NZ of bagpipes playing "Auld Lang Syne": https://youtube.com/shorts/GyQXihMLjXM?feature=share #auldlangsyne #bagpipes #newzealand
