                            the Feadanaigh Epic




                     'We are the music makers,
                  and we are the dreamers of dreams,
                      Wandering by the lone sea-breakers,
                    and sittting by desolate streams.'

                               - Arthur O'Shaughnessy



        the Feadanaigh Epic is my long term project. It consists
        of three parts, of which this is the second.

          the Feadanaigh Epic

                + Moors of Ireland
                + Whistler's Bride


        Feadanaigh is ancient Eire and translates as Whistle Player.

                            the Whistler's Bride



                   Road dust clinging to his clothes
                    he made his way over the ancient
                    bridge spanning the foaming river.

                   His heartsong soared freely above the
                    treetops and clouds, even.

                   Its bright voice held a note of melancholy
                    for something in the lass had awakened
                    something long forgotten.

                   But he was claimed in a way no earthly woman
                    could rival.

                   Lifting his cold bride made of metal to his
                    lips, he let his heartblood flow.

                   The long road that was his life gently crunched
                    beneath his heels.






        Maybe this is an attempt to return to my roots - combining
        the newfound folk influence with my earlier orchestral and
        new age habits. I dare say this style is something I invented.

        Please enjoy. It is a mammoth project in every sense. Sample
        set is very big, it uses over 60 channels and more than 200
        working hours went into it.


        OK, so playing back this song is computer murder. Use IT L50
        to limit the channels to 50, which should be adequate for this
        song. This requires at least 40 channels, since there are
        40 active tracks.

        To listen to this song with GUS classic cards, you need to
        use quarter quality and will miss even some active tracks,
        so you might as well use the diskwriter and convert it into
        MP3. 

        GUS MAX, PnP, AWE owners: please use software mixing.
