Tune Writing Competition : deadline 25th January 2018 : \u00a3100 prize!<\/strong><\/p>\n

During January 2018, funds are being raised via Kickstarter<\/strong>, for the recording of an album titled “MakerSpace”<\/strong>, focused on exploring the very recently developed \u201cLindsay System\u201d Scottish smallpipes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The project can be found on Kickstarter by searching for \u201cMakerspace\u201d<\/strong> or \u201cDonald WG Lindsay\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The programme for the recording is almost complete,<\/strong> including new works for the pipes from established Scottish composers, alongside the contemporary & traditional tunes that inspired the pipes’ creation. We’ve room for a little more music,<\/strong> however, so during the month of January a tune competition will take place, with a prize of \u00a3100 for the winning tune.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The winning tune will be included on the “MakerSpace” album, and the composer invited to the launch, expected to take place in Glasgow in January of 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The music should be original<\/strong>, and should be submitted by the composer<\/strong> in the form of a video performance, which can be anonymous if desired (a cunning disguise, the phone laid face down, or whatever), via either Facebook (post on the Lindstrumentspage<\/strong>) or Twitter\/Instagram to @lindstruments<\/strong> before midnight on the 25thJanuary 2018<\/strong>. Please include in your post the project Kickstarter link as follows (you can cut & paste this link from Kickstarter) : www.kickstarter.com\/proje…_build<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

To record the video of your tune, feel free to use any instrument with a suitable range, although bear in mind if using instruments such as piano or guitar, that the pipes will play a single melody line only, so the tune you intend should be as clear as you can make it. Entrants consent to all videos being reposted onto the Lindstruments<\/strong> Facebook, Twitter & Instagram pages, where they will be voted on by the followers of the page (who are of course a very discerning audience of traditional music fans) between the 26th-31stof January 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For reference, here are the notes of the scale (note not all steps of the standard 12-step scale are available, and notes in brackets are ‘tricky’ for use as accidentals);<\/em><\/p>\n

D3, E3, F#3, G3, A3, (Bb3), B3, (C4), C#4, D4, (D#4), E4, F4, F#4, G4, G#4, A4, B4, C#5, D5<\/em><\/p>\n

Full rules for the competition are available as a PDF by contacting Lindstruments on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or via Lindstruments.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
