about

During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, I spent three months recording these traditional dance tunes, after accidentally discovering that hurdy-gurdy music works with 80s synths surprisingly well. The majority of these tunes are from France, specifically Brittany, hence the 'Breizh' in Breizhwave.

Enjoy!
