Nerdy Gurdy Fortran build and play

In June, whilst ordering Nerdy Gurdy parts in preparation for some festivals, I was blessed with the opportunity to purchase a Nerdy Gurdy Fortran kit 😀💚! Tools and glue out, it came together over the evenings and weekends of my spare time this hot summer. I made two simple modifications……to the chanter string choice (I went for G4, G3, G4) and to the keys (I applied veneer to get a snug fit). On one calm and dry Saturday in late August, I managed to take the brand new instrument for two sessions, morning and evening, under the oak tree of Blewburton hill fort for this video. Herefordshire cider was very helpful. The Fortran was just about ready for being put through its paces…..occasionally screeching, some little ways to go on, but working more or less! Here’s how the video goes: 0:00 The build 5:50 Improv#1 6:55 Thunderstruck + improv and G&R by Fortran! 8:44 Upon a summer’s day (Playford) and info about gurdy+location 11:14 Improv#2 12:50 Spanish Jig (Playford) 16:14 Loch Leven 19:17 Drowsy Maggie 21:14 Childgrove (Playford) 22:44 Female Saylor (Feuillet) 23:55 Lady Catherine Ogle (a new dance), (Playford) 25:25 Jenny Pluck Pears (Playford) 27:38 Jack’s Health (Playford) With my original Linotte ‘build and play’ video, I was very glad to know the interest it generated; the effect of both the Nerdy Gurdy, which many people want to know about, and the mesmerising track by Nigel Eaton playing in the background! The building and playing of the Fortran has been every bit the adventure of my previous Nerdy Gurdies. Like the others, quite a task, quite a journey……but each time having a happy result after much perseverance. Since ordering the first kit nearly two years ago, I have been searching for repertoire, digging about, searching my memory, searching my music collection, poring through the books and of course the internet for ideas. Trying to imagine which tunes might work - conventional and unconventional. For the tunes chosen in this video, out of the 20 or so that I bashed out one after another under that Walnut tree, it seemed that the Walnut tree inspired me to do Playfords best, so they feature heavily. Therefore, I make special thanks to Mary Vanhoozer for her inspirational hurdy gurdy repertoire of Playfords and other old tunes. Her posts, albums on bandcamp and tunes on YouTube provide reams of ideas and enjoyment. It made sense to me to save the actual Fortran hurdy gurdy playing until the ‘play’ section of the video, as the Fortran really shouldn’t make any noise until it is finished! So I decided to use other music for the build section, important to acknowledge here: For the build, the first piece of accompanying music comes from a recording given to me in 2007 (ish) by two musicians who performed on the Mandala stage at Glastonbury festival. I still have the plain white CD RW with the name ‘The Cornriggs’ penned on it. I was doing stage live sound and The Cornriggs played with a beauty, detail, clarity, lightness and depth that was exquisite and deeply enchanting. I was so lucky we had them to play 3-4 times that one festival. They opened a magical door for me musically, which I passed through with great joy, never to return to the older, drabber world. We lost contact after the festival. I ask around, but I cannot find them or their music online. One of life’s mysteries just before the era of social media. To you both, if this ever reaches you, I deeply hope you are well, and hope I can see you again. I listen to your music regularly 💚💚💚 I hope your song about a Simple Harlequin is a happy accompaniment to the making of a hurdy gurdy. Build track #2….. the fantastic player of a plethora of flutes Jon Egan merrily told me that the hurdy gurdy is referred to as a ‘medieval Moog’. His observation is spot-on. Youth, who was kind enough to have me on-stage at a Mandala stage gig recently when (coincidentally) ……the stage power kept cutting out…..remarked afterwards: “Something about these instruments thats completely intoxicating and enchanting. I’ve used them on a few recordings like Primal Scream and a few acoustic recordings , usually the player made the instrument, as did Paul with his. They awaken something primal, pagan and ancient in our DNA, the sound of ancient festivities before electricity was discovered. The sound of freedom” Youth’s words capture my thoughts so well. But back to medieval Moogs and pre-electricity music, I thought that a bit of electronic music would be good for a second piece of build music, but didn’t feel that thumping beats and sizzling Moog synths of my old techno and house collection worked with the build vibe. Building a ‘Fortran’, I was tempted by the Fabi Paras Soundclash remix of Fortran 5’s “Persian blues”. Though beautiful, it didn’t quite fit. Scouring my music collection, I chose Plaid’s lovely ‘Nurula’, from their fascinating album ‘Polymer’. Not sizzling synths, but very synergetic and synchronous with the final steps of the build.
