As some of you already know, I play the bagpipe and love electronica. I told my band mates my idea for this year's festival, playing with electronica, instead of rock. They told me ok, do it, so I started looking for somebody to do the electronica part. That's how I met Cooptrol. So one day I went to his studio and recorded 3 songs, Flet from Flotta, Lord Lovat's Lament, and Cumha MhicCriomain. As I wasn't ready to play the Great Highland Bagpipe (scottish bagpipe) I took my Shuttle Pipes (breton bagpipe) which is easier to blow. We had no idea of the final sound that we wanted, so I just marked the tempo with my foot, and then told him the BPMs. After that, I was playing just against a metronome, and then I played two more times the same song, against the metronome and what I had previously recorded. Some days after he showed me what he did, and it's what you may listen. Unfortunately this is all I have, since he's working on other projects and doesn't have enough time for this. I hope you enjoy it. Flet from Flotta, traditional scottish march. Electronica: Cooptrol Bagpipe: Me playing the Shuttle Pipes (breton bagpipe) http://www.ntntelectronica.com/Flet From Flotta85.mp3
