about

The unusual open mouthpiece in the side of the adharc allows the player to produce a wide variety of sound. This, combined with a good back pressure in the horn facilitates the creation of a continuous pulsing rhythm through the use of circular breathing. ‘The Crimlin Reel’ begins with a slow overtone rich note and then launches into a fast three part reel. The tune is inspired by the mountains of Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland. This recording was played live as part of a demonstration/performance for the Heritage in Schools Scheme to the children of the primary school on Inis Mean, Aran Islands, Co. Galway, Ireland in May 2007.
