Welcome to the Haru Zone

Swedish composer Roger Tallroth wrote this tune for his niece Josifin's baptism, such a glorious tune. Images are collected from around the web, just there for something to look at.

A tune I learned at my local beginner session last week. At first I wasn't sure if I was a fan of the tune but the more I got to know it the more I enjoyed it. This is solo concertina accompanied by layered plucked…

Back to simple A Capella arranging for this one, heavily inspired by the version recorded by The Teacups on their album "Of Labour and Love" which I think I've listened to over a dozen times all the way through in the last few weeks, can't…

Getting to grips with composing stuff and looping and capturing performances in MIDI. Heavily inspired by the Soundtrack of Stardew Valley by the legendary ConcernedApe.

Another track so soon? How is this possible?? Well, the truth is, this one is really more like karaoke than a real cover, I got the original track from the East Pointer's album, put it into my recording software, played/sung along with it a few…

A newer, better version of this one ("Follow the Heron" by Karine Polwart) Feel like it's worth mentioning here, I recorded this to show my vocal because I had my last appointment with her today and I wasn't able to show my progress properly. My…

Turned my camera on while practicing/arranging today because I thought this was sounding pretty neat here's a youtube link if you wanna listen there

A rough-ish recording of a rough-ish rendition of Inisheer on my concertina, played just a couple days ago.

I'm back from the music festival camping trip and it was so great, I've got so much to say about it! We went up to the place last Wednesday, about an hour drive away and setup was only mildly painful as setting up tents often…

So, I ask you this: What good is personalised Tumblr-esque queer pride flag without a proper infodump that only the most ardent acolytes mine could possibly brother to read!!~ :nko_giggle: So, I feel like the alt-text I provided for this image is a good start…
