Guilhem Desq - Cicatrices - Hurdy Gurdy

Mixed by Yannick Tournier
Inspired by a Short Movie from Felix David

[VincenzoC]

The Hurdy Gurdy arguably has the coolest sounds of any folk instrument in the existence of humanity.

[iNahtanoJ]

never seen someone with such an intimate knowledge of every part of his instrument

[richardbonnette]

That was a master showing off his musical prowess within his own elements, exemplifying mastery over all methods and uses of the hurdy gurdy. THAT is how you play an instrument! THAT is what we musicians aspire to be!

Thank you, Guilhem, for the astounding performance that was delivered by this eloquent tune. Cicatrices, though I have never heard it before, will now never seem quite as awesome as when I first heard it from you!


Pax!

[stevenm]

I love how he utilizes it in so many ways to produce different types of sound

[opalgoblin]

The Hurdy Gurdy is a medieval synthesizer keyboard.

[mrwilliamssr]

3:30 I melted. That instrument cried. It stole my soul simultaneously.

[billymain]

never expected to get chills from an instrument called a hurdy gurdy but i sure did wow

[bajubner]

I love that you've taken a medieval instrument and made music with it that would absolutely get you burned at the stake

[JohnDoe-emof]

the part that starts at 2:36 feels like you poured everything you had into the emotion coming out of that instrument

[treycotherman]

It's like ... weeping . I can't help but shed a tear and watch it shatter .

[SolidariusLive]

Random YouTube suggestion.

10/10


Using the Hurdy Gurdy like the Magical Instrument it is?

Absolutely priceless. Unless you have a CD. I'll pay for that.

And a digital copy

[Summerneechan]

This is what it looks like when a bard gets a nat20.
Also love that you use the entire instrument.

[BazilRat]

Oh wow dude. At times this sounds like a theremin, at other times a violin, at other times like weird chanting, then it's an electric guitar, that's incredible.

[boccaz]

Found this song. Listened to it like 60 times in a row. Found out he has an album. Bought the album. Now listened to the album over 100 times. Amazing sound, amazing album, amazing talent. 20/10, over 9000. Hope he keeps making more.

[ipashin]

Послушал наверное раз 200. Это эйфория !!!!Аплодисменты

[rynkenby]

This is quite possibly the most beautiful thing my ears have ever been blessed to have heard.

[TheWolfDelta]

I WASN'T READY FOR THAT


I just wanted to listen to hurdy-gurdy while I ate dinner, but no. That was art, art is art, and you don't ignore art.

[LivinProductions]

I've never witnessed anybody shred on a Hurdy Gurdy till now haha.

[fergtube]

Simply Brilliant, the layering of sound and rhythm was a superb assault on my ears and my soul was swept away to a different time to a medieval rock concert. What genius. Thank you.

My Mother passed suddenly 8/21/2020. I found this specific song, played with digital delay through what i think is guitar peddles...
It's helped me to grieve...
Just listening again & now I'm in tears...
Thank you..! Song means more then before.🔥
