Month: March 2019

Grind Hans Jässpôdspolska

Here’s a slow take on this tune, played as part of melodeon.net’s theme of the month for March 2019, Slow Tunes.

This is a wedding polska from Sweden, traditional but played by/collected from Erik Petters. I’m playing it slower than normal, and probably with a few extra beats here and there, so whether it is still truly a polska is debatable.

Also known as CEG.

Played on a Castagnari Mory in D/G

The Origin of the World on Electronic Melodeon

This is Dave Shepherd’s classic Mazurka as played on Blowzabella’s album Octomento and is melodeon.net’s tune of the month for March 2019. Quite a tricky one on melodeon. Here I’m playing it on a Streb electronic melodeon through midi to Mixcraft on a PC, and running it through a few different string samples. This isn’t multi tracked – it’s played (more or less) live.
