Celtic Fiddle

This sample pack includes a range of original pieces composed and performed by Scottish multi-instrumentalist Hannah Read. The feature is Celtic fiddle, both in the Scottish and Irish styles. There are rich, atmospheric soundscapes and slow airs alongside lively jigs and reels. Some of the loops contain vocal melodies and pads from Hannah as well as percussion and bass added by producer Charles Van Kirk. The pack was recorded using Coles, Neumann and DPA microphones into AEA and Miktek preamps.
