Description
My name is Aiden, I am a music composer. I write quite a wide range of genres. I started my musical journey as a classical guitarist and performer, before my love of creative media brought me into the world of fantasy orchestral music creation. I have been a musician and played video games my whole life, combining the two to create the music I want to create and the stories I wish to tell.
I have released six albums, Most are based on ancient mythologies and concepts, I love exploring old mythologies and musical interpretations of these. I also try and incorporate unique instrumentation in my work, featuring multiple rare and ancient instruments I have built myself. (Empyrean, Astaria, Revelations, The Nine Realms) Outside of my modern orchestral work, I have also composed neo-classical piano works in collaboration with my friend Daniel A. Ward. (The bridge Between Worlds) and I have also written a indie/folk album with my good friend Marcus Warner.

It's 5am, I haven't slept yet and I really need to know how to build hagelharpa, because just few hours ago, I've found out that this instrument exists, and I can't stop thinking about it.

I was a professional Luthier for a time, and have been a woodworker for 2/3rds+ of my life. I've built a Tagelharpa and a Jouhikko before. While there were times that you used tools "wrong", or didn't follow steps in the "right" order... I think this is a prime example of the most important aspect of woodwork: having fun figuring things out. Many woodworkers can get stuffy over the idea of fOlLoWiNg tHe sTePs, and dOiNg tHinGs tHe rIgHt wAy, but the truth of things is that the best part of working with wood is solving problems that will always come up, like the headstock coming off when you just glued it.

It's great you left the mistakes in as it is the most important tool for learning. Yo many tutorials don't tell you what not to do so you can't tell

I absolutely love that you've included all those mistakes and that semi-amateur bits. It gave me hope that maybe i can try someday to make it myself! οΈ

'Because my obsessions change', I learned that when yew is used for bows, it is split before shaping because the internal and external wood are good at either compression or stress and I think the bow should put some tension on the horse-hair.

I want to extend a deep and heartfelt thank you for leaving in all the mistakes, including the, in retrospect, stupid ones in the edit. Not only did it give me the occasional chuckle when you went over things that I have learned the hard way in the past as well, but it makes me feel less bad about screwing up stuff myself.

I'm glad more and more people find access to bowed lyres and build them in all sorts of shapes with different techniques!
