#introduction
I produce collections, recordings and videos of #freeMusic on
https://www.monviolon.org

A flagship project is the #BoeufTrad: repertoire of popular dance music.

I only use free software - (including #Lilypond #Gimp #Inkscape #Scribus #Ardour #Audacity #Kdenlive…) and sleepless nights.

Un progetto di punta è il #BoeufTrad: repertorio di musica popolare da ballare.

Uso solo software libero (#Lilypond #Gimp #Inkscape #Scribus #Ardour #Audacity #Kdenlive…) e notti insonni.

I think I've pretty much finished Marc Perrone's discography on the website.
https://www.monviolon.org/en/rechercher?q=Marc+Perrone
All I have to do now is to reference the pieces...

I just made this video to help (hopefully) learn "The Foggy Dew" on the violin. You can try it even if you are new to this instrument. It's simple and pleasant to play.

Good surprise this morning: my #freemusic has been used to illustrate a video:

Don't hesitate to use it also (free art Licence and/or #creativeCommons #ccbysa ) I put the pieces here usually:

Just revised for your #boeufTrad collection,
https://www.monviolon.org/en/bibliotheque/ed_elec/boeuf_trad/vol_9/details&ref=ee-kikkapuu
Kikkapuu (perhaps unrelated but it is the name of the spindle, a little tree; puu = tree, kikka, from kukk = rooster).
Traditionally played and danced in Seto country (the #Setomaa), south Estonia, this tune actually comes from the theme of "Picador-Marsch", by the German violinist and composer Max Oscheit (1880-1923).

This weekend, it was a great cleaning and a little varnish (shellac) for damaged areas for my #violin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac

Here is "Swedish Mazurka" for our #boeufTrad
https://www.monviolon.org/en/bibliotheque/ed_elec/boeuf_trad/vol_1/details&ref=maz-suedoise
It was performed as a waltz by Hudel, a fest noz band from the 2000s.

... finaly in D, (with a D drone) :
https://www.monviolon.org/01_bibliotheque/ed_elec/boeuf_trad/vol_2/andro-31-32.mp3

Play only a C in drone to accompany these two melodies built on (almost) 5 notes.
Two #traditional "an dro" from #Bretagne, just added to my #boeufTrad project:
https://www.monviolon.org/fr/bibliotheque/ed_elec/boeuf_trad/vol_2/details&ref=andro-31
and
https://www.monviolon.org/fr/bibliotheque/ed_elec/boeuf_trad/vol_2/details&ref=andro-32
Use it, re-use it for your own projects, it's #freeMusic under #freeArt license

Mi piace questo nuovo slogan (?) di @LaQuadrature, un'associazione che difende le libertà digitali: "Le futur reviendra" (il futuro ritornerà).
Anche l'illustrazione, associata a questa frase, è bella.

Added 3 melodies in my database. Two "an dro" I listen to since I was 4 years old on a 1973 Diaouled ar Menez 7" Vinyl:
https://www.monviolon.org/fr/rechercher?q=Ar+vugale+laouen
And the "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" / "Bro gozh ma zadoù":
https://www.monviolon.org/fr/rechercher?q=Bro+gozh+ma+zado%C3%B9
It seems easy but it involves searching for occurrences, adding a book, its author, a composer, two places and a lot of variations of melodies: 4 hours of work.
Transcriptions remain to be done but it usually goes fast.
The visual of the record is so deliciously #70s... 🌼 ☮️ 🎸

#boeufTrad project: update (sources, pdf, svj) of "Hopser valtser", perhaps composed by J. Matto, of whom I know nothing except that he published this waltz in #Estonia in 1879.
Use it all, it's again under #freeArt license !

#trad #freeMusic

Domanda reale (forse importante): Vedo molti link di youtube (brutti come lo sai) su Stereodon, ma conosci qualche peertube dedicato alla musica? Ho trovato solo https://exode.me/videos/local
E tu che mi dici?

#NoGafam #indipendenza

Real (maybe important) question: I see a lot of youtube links (nasty as you know) on stereodon but do you know any peertube instances dedicated to music? I only found https://exode.me/videos/local (where I opened an account but I can change).

#NoGafam #sufficiency

For your music, your #MAO audio or video projects, I record from time to time some acoustic sounds that I put here: https://www.monviolon.org/en/bibliotheque/sounds/ambiances
Credit MonViolon or not but I'd be glad if it is used for free projects, for example #creativeCommons #CC #freeArtLicence #publicDomain, etc.

#soundtrack #ambiant

"Nellätands" (collected in 1936 in our estonian village) and the famous bear dance (translated here as "karutants"), of which I found no trace until the 1970s but which remains a hit in the French folk scene.
Better video quality for this one (1920×1080: true HD).

#trad #Estonia

New tune for our #boeufTrad collection: "Savikua veneläse", a little-known version of "Savikoja venelane" (that Estonian trad dancers know).
Collected in Hargla (south Estonia) played on violin by Ott Laas (born in 1870).
It will make sense to play it with our Hargla folkband !

And "Tule aga tule" ("Come and come" ?) that we played first.
