I felt loopy today, so I checked my instruments before FAWM begins.They seem OK and almost in tune. Now I can go and wash my hair :)

Happy FAWM to all who take part and all the best to folks in Germany who go to the annual demonstrations for Democracy, Humanity and against RightExtremism in next days!

#FAWM - It's that time of the year again when I feel like a 6 year old who can't decide what toys to take with him to the beach. And who takes them all...

My #MorningMusic choice, today

#SaigonSoulRevival returns with their second album, "Mối Lương Duyên".

New York based DJ & producer, #Nickodemus, head-honcho behind Wonderwheel recordings and one of the most important leaders of the global fusion dance community since the mid-90s, delivers the first remix from Saigon Soul Revival’s second album. Spicing up the opening title “Ai Thật Lòng Yêu Ai“ with his electronic trademark sound that is often focused on the connective tissue of live collaborations and the electronic solitude of his record-filled studio, Nickodemus is putting his own twist on the sultry soul groove.

What is the song about ?
This very soulful album opener „ Ai Thật Lòng Yêu Ai“ tells the story of a man who is deeply in love has his heart betrayed when he discovers his sweetheart is with another. Confused and crushed by despair, the man swears to himself that he will never forget the pain she caused him that day. He wishes never to see her again, in this life or the next.

Once again featuring Nguyễn Thị Hải Phượng on #ĐànTranh (Vietnamese 16-stringed #zither)

Ich mag die neue Mastodon-Suche. Zum ersten Mal finde ich Leute, die #Zither oder #Duduk spielen bzw. Beiträge dazu.

Lookie at what I got! It's a guitar zither, or chord zither, or, if you're a time traveler or vampire, you might know it as a guitar-mandolin. Looks to be a beginner's instrument, but it's pretty well constructed all the same. Paid $40. I do NOT know how to play it, but that's never stopped me before...

So far Play #MusicOnThePorchDay August 26 2023 will be happening in over 1200 locations, in over 25 Countries around the world! Help us grow by tagging any #musicians you know, or any musicians who inspire you!

I am my mothers driver and personal chef, we have been visiting a friend of hers in Texas for a week, where I have been sharing a room with a curious, old stringed instrument which is unlike any I've ever seen. She calls it a zither, Her grandmother played it when she was a child, some 80 years ago.
I looked inside the body and found a label which calls it an "American Art Guitar".
Searching the internet for this term I find pictures of prettily, painted guitars. This ain't that. Does anyone out there know this wee beastie? It was gifted to me and I'd like to learn it and try to do it justice. #zither #MusicalInstrument #StringedInstrument #Antique

❝ New York in the 1970s was a city in turmoil – grimy, violent and neglected – the ideal venue, it seems, for the kind of hypnotic enlightenment [Laraaji] and his autoharp were offering. “The music – this wafting sea of harmonics – had a trance-inducing, spellbinding effect,” he remembers. “Yes, it went against the grain of the environment, the hustle and bustle. But it allowed people to just be, to chill and reflect.” ❞ → https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/feb/09/brian-eno-left-a-note-in-my-zither-case-how-fate-intervened-for-ambient-music-pioneer-laraaji

#Laraaji #AmbientMusic #zither

Ich habe geübt und geübt und mittlerweile kann ich (#Loop sei Dank) vier Instrumente gleichzeitig spielen =)
- #Gitarre, #Hackbrett, #Zither und #Duduk - und normalerweise singe ich noch dazu. Letzteres kann man dann im "richtigen" Video sehen. Das hier ist erstmal nur die Vorschau: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/bvPEPJJQbaSUDK16sjmC6e

Das "richtige" nehme ich in den nächsten Tagen auf; es hat dann bessere Audio- und Videoqualität.

Heut Abend spiele ich in #Leipzig beim Bülowstraßenfestival im Leipziger Osten: https://events.basspistol.org/events/173a803c-0abe-4ac5-ad79-ca16ac3a0d16 Ich fahre mit dem Fahrrad (-Hänger) und meine Technik läuft mit solar.

@diy_instruments while my #Zither is not a total diy project, I'm pretty proud of my installation of the small bridges (actual #santur bridges) I on the body to make the strings easier to hit with sticks... https://pixelfed.de/p/Torsten_Torsten/426815471668653381

Hallohalli =) - Gibt es noch mehr neue #Musiker, #Musikerinnen oder #MusikerÏnnen (aus dem Raum #Leipzig #Halle #Dresden) hier?

Ich schreibe meist deutschsprachige #Lieder, spiele #Gitarre, #Zither, #Hackbrett, #Duduk und #Loop. Geht in die Richtung #Folk #Singersongwriter #Pop #Jazz und #Bossa.

Würde mich über weitere Vernetzung freuen. =)
