We try again please Repost take music you like ,it,s never easy to se what plp like and it,s always good too be played. If I were to post Staten Island, it would look more like this, perhaps with some of the triplets left out (but included as variations in the comments section).Genre Fullon / Hightech Comment by 96LucasLimaĠ5/12/22 🔥 chaaaaaammmaaaaa Comment by SLEPPY DIMENSION But I’m concerned about the quality of the tune archives we’re building here as a tool for people hoping to learn tunes for sessions (hence the site’s name, eh?).Īs an example, I’ll post here a version of Staten Island I learned off a session-wise uillean piper. Of course, this is just my opinion, and perhaps a minority one. Ideally, I think, the main setting here should be recognizably close to what’s commonly played at sessions by musicians familiar with the tradition. Variations, idiosyncratic settings, simplifications, highly embellished versions, and historically or geographically interesting settings are all well and good, but better off in the comments section, as addenda to the main setting.

In my mind, that begs us to be selective about the tunes we post-they ought to be playable, session-ready settings. This is the process of Beatmap Approval where you need two Bubbles by two different BATs before another BAT can rank it.

While there’s nothing stopping me from posting what I think is a “better” version, the fact is that the first setting posted is the one that shows up as sheet music and a sound file, so it becomes the de facto official setting. If the map has an overall draining time of at least 5 Minutes it can be ranked with just one Difficulty. Given that Jeremy started this site to concentrate on the dance music of Ireland, I for one would prefer to see settings from more credible source materials-preferably trad players themselves. And it’s not just a matter of simplifying the life out of it, because to my ear the Irish trad structure has been stripped out of this version as well.

If someone were to learn it from the setting you give here, they’d be hard pressed to pass it off at most sessions I’ve been too-it would mark them as unfamiliar with the Irish tradition. Staten Island Hornpipe is a widely known session tune, but this setting doesn’t do it justice, at least not in the context of Irish dance music. Various rhythms for music production, synthesia, yamaha, roland, korg, casio keyboards, among others. Trevor, I don’t mean to be rude or ungrateful (though I will be blunt), but I’m starting to seriously question the value of posting tunes from this New England sourcebook you cite.
