In summary, the carnyx was likely played more like a didgeridoo, using formants to create unusual sounds. The upper registers serve as part of the storytelling. Wonderful presentation - thank you!
Fantastic technical information, thank you!
My hobby is making synthesiser plugins some of which are simulations of real instruments. One day I hope to have a go at a Carnyx and this insight has been very useful.
Love this
Absolutely sensational piece of musical science
Sensational stuff Mr Kenny!
I just found this video and as a former French Horn player I am FASCINATED
I always dreamed of having my own Celtic Carnyx Kenny just like you ny friend 😁😁
Is the Carnyx pitch in Bb?
I just made a carnyx, based on the titignac carnyx and have no idea how to play it. Do you have to buzz your lips like playing a trombone or not?
I would assume yes because the mouthpiece works the same way that any other lip reed instrument's does.
Did you not watch this video? The entire presentation was a description of technique to make various sounds.
Yes, they are all lip-reed aerophones. You must buzz your lips to make sounds.
This would have been a lot easier to hear if they didn't screw with the audio levels in post. Every time an instrument was played, some yo-yo reduced the audio level so you couldn't hear it. Why would you do that? Just let it alone and it will sound better.
Mainly the Deskford Carnyx just like you Kennyy
19:32 all except stringed instruments played by non-classical snobs. Guitarists outside of classical live for those rattles and buzzes.
Le Carnyx gaulois avait des oreilles de 50 cm...
C'est une réplique de celui trouvé à Deskford, en Ecosse, dans la vidéo et pas celui de Tintignac
Fascinating instrument
Avec des oreilles de 50 cm...
