      Cool thing to look up, if you can find it: "Hurdy Gurdy Project". Made by the gurdy players of Garmarna and Hednignarna. They've sampled lots of weird and funky sounds from their instruments and made some weird ass electronic/folk music with it!

    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!

      As an amateur luthier,making mostly guitars,I've toyed with the idea of building a hurdy gurdy.Now I know that I absolutely have to add one of these amazing instruments to my collection.Guilhem is obviously a virtuoso musician,with what sounds like practically a spiritual connection to the instrument and the music being created.I will try to learn to play my hurdy gurdy,but I have no illusions that I will ever develop the sort of mastery on display here.Kudos to Guilhem for bringing this antique musical tradition to a modern audience in such a beautiful way.

    As you yourself have pointed out, this is a “different instrument” because you are able to do things with it that are not possible on a traditional hurdy-gurdy. YOU ARE A PIONEER, and you are fearlessly exploring new gurdy territory in a unique and totally wonderful way.
    While I love the traditional gurdy repertoire, if the instrument is to make it into the 21st century as anything other than a curious relic of the past it must adapt, like the guitar and the keyboard, to the world of electronics. I think what you are doing is magnificent! I am familiar with the peripheral equipment you are using, and it requires a degree of dexterity and virtuosity that rivals what is needed just to play the gurdy. You appear to have mastered both.
    The problem with being a pioneer is that it is a lonely and often thankless existence.

      The song title literally means "Scars" in French, and it's the feminine variant of the word, so perhaps appropriate.

      @@riftmanhun5243 You can buy a nerdy gurdy kit for $400 or something, which isn't very expensive as instruments go. However, there's a bit of a wait list, as it's just one guy making them (albeit, with a 3-D printer). Also, he lives in The Netherlands, so if you live outside the EU, you'll have to pay international shipping fees. There's a website for it if you want to look into it. Just Google "nerdy gurdy kit."

From the moment you opened the keyboard and played manually to the raw passion and emotions this song made me feel, I've just been left stunned quite honestly. 20/10 performance, I will be subbing and hitting that notification bell.
