On the way to the Capercaillie gig last night I bumped into friends and was explaining how I didn't know the band that well because when I was young there was other stuff that grabbed me more and I ended up coining the phrase/word technogaitas as a shorthand to describe what Martyn Bennett was doing.
This morning, down a very pleasant rabbit hole (whirlpool?) to find examples to send them to prove I wasn't making it up.
And this holds up so well I need to get hold of the whole album.

#bagpipes#CelticMusic and why not also try and make #TechnoGaitas a thing.

I lost interest in a lot of so-called "Celtic fusion" music because it wasn't really a fusion (overused word) but a grafting of beats and a pipe or violin melody with no connection or relationship between the parts. Often one is much weaker than the other.
This is much much more. The electronic parts are as strong as the pipes, clearly developed together and inseparable both in melody and rhythm. Intertwined, not overlaid.
Here's another one in a different style.

(How many posts do i need to make #TechnoGaitas a trending topic?)
