Bombarde sample

Gurdonark also requested a short bombarde sample, so I recorded this just now and sent to him. I'm looking forward to get it back, modified beyond recognition.

Bombarde Indienne

A couple of years ago, on a vacation in Brittany, I bought a Breton bombarde. As the technique is somewhat similar to my main instrument, the oboe, it was fairly easy to learn how to play. The bombarde is wonderfully loud, despite it's small size.

I really wanted to make a fetching loop with the bombarde, but I don't think I succeeded. Anyway, I like the improvisational part better.

And I'm surprised that the Macedonian kaval sounds OK, because I certainly haven't learnt to play that properly yet.

For the bass sound, I recorded my Levin guitar and pitched it down an octave.

I let some Moroccan bells contribute with treble as well as rythm.

The result: "Bombarde Indienne"

The drumtrack I found on ccmixter.org (which I, by the way, highly recommend) and it is by courtesy of spinningmerkaba.
