If you’re curious about the methods behind the #RomaniChords project, the full recording of my talk from the Ninth Biennial International Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Musics (#AAWM 2026) is now available. The presentation discusses my methodological approach, from data acquisition and (finger-)motion capture to annotation and (audio)visualisation, and is followed by an engaging Q&A => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkAnmf695gA #Ethnomusicology #Musicology #MusicOfRoma #RomaniMusic #Roma

This is a 27-minute-long video about the Begena, a large Ethiopian lyre and an #Instrument that's heavily intertwined with Ethiopian culture and spirituality. The main focus is around Ermias who founded a workshop and school that manufactures and teaches Begena to the next generation and so keeps the tradition alive. #Music #Ethnomusicology #WorldMusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAlD9nkJzLc And if you want to read more, here's their website: https://ermiasbegena.com

Lucius Apuleius mentions the sistra of the great procession: "aereis et argenteis immo vero aureis etiam sistris argutum tinnitum constrepentes" (bronze, silver, and indeed also golden sistra producing a lively ringing cacophony; The Golden Ass, pt9). Here's a little experimental #Archaeomusicology recording of what that could've sounded like, played on my multitimbral Roman-style sistrum. Only 5 tracks though. It must've truly been a “holy noise” back then. #Music #Ethnomusicology #AncientRome

“Kurdiewonkana.” This dance men and women only take part in, regular form and position, keeping splendid time to the rattle of the beat of two boomerangs; some of the women keep time by clapping their hands between their thighs; promiscuous sexual intercourse follows after the dance, jealously is forbidden.

More recorder: Actual folk recorder playing, which totes exists, is really hard to find out about. Meet the sjofloyte, "sea flute”, the Norwegian folk recorder, except sometimes it's just a standard manufactured alto. If anybody else knows about actual folk recorder traditions, i.e. not just people playing folk tunes on recorder out of a book, do let us all know please! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c9ckNdFC88 #Recorder #NorwegianFolkMusic #Folkmusic #ethnomusicology
