#harmonium — Public Fediverse posts

And (not to jack your thread, but to add further #MusicTrivia)

It was #organ builders who added crucial differences to 3,000 year old free reed designs imported from Asia

These “westernized” free reed organs then developed into everything from the #harmonica, #harmonium and #accordion

Nobody’s quite sure, but it might have been one of a few German guys working in Copenhagen who showed them off in Saint Petersburg (#WorldMusic 1780)

Larger cousin of perhaps my favourite early free reed, the Melophone*

Like a miniature lap-cello with a push-pump on the bottom to control its bellows-fed reed organ insides

Again fantastic metal button-board on the neck. I would probably start crying if I got to play one of these some day 😭

*Not the Mellophone horn 🎺

[VIDEO Pt 2] Yesterday, I went to see the new Avatar movie. The visuals were again breathtaking, just like those in the first two movies by James Cameron . ✨👏 When Zoe Saldana starts singing The Songcord, I always get a lump in my throat... 😧♡ It really makes me feel connected with nature, and it has a strong indigenous energy.✨

#LePsychedelikOrkestarProject
Du #bal-populaire à la #teuf #trance, le #Psychedelik-Orkestar-Project (le #POP) mise sur sa #science-dub et son #goût pour la #liesse pour emmener son #public jusqu’à l’état modifié de conscience avec des #lives aux airs de joyeux #sabbats #psychédéliques. #Harmonium, #guitare, #batterie, #trompette, #violon, #banjo, #derbouka, #guembri, #saz ou #sueng-thaïlandais frayent ainsi sans #complexe avec des kilomètres de câbles, de boucles et de machines, de celles qui carburent à l’essence roots et font danser les petits matins des marges clandestines.
