===Cyberpunk Bluegrass Music===

@coreysnipes suggested I look into Bluegrass in addition to my current studies of Irish Trad music as I learn how to play the Irish whistle. That makes sense as a lot of Bluegrass stems from old Irish music.

In my search for Bluegrass music with Irish whistles, I stumbled across Justin Myles Holmes' "Barlow's Jig".

And get this... after listening to an Irish whistle, a banjo, a fiddle, and other instruments playing a bluegrass jig...

...you hear a voiceover reading of "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996)" written by none other than John Perry Barlow, founding member of the @eff

John Perry Barlow. Barlow's Jig.

My worlds have collided.

Heck, I'd argue that Folk Music + Calls for Digital Independence = Solarpunk !!!

Give it a listen here (the voiceover starts at 2:45 but listen to the leadup as well):

That makes me want more edm with traditional Irish sounds. The mix reminds me of some Bonobo or Boards of Canada.

There's more!!!

Listen to "Nanny State Fiddler" - a bluegrass song about the dangers of sending unencrypted messages and warrantless wiretaps!

Cyberpunk / Cypherpunk / Solarpunk Bluegrass is now my favorite genre of music!

Justin Myles Holmes is great!!!!

nice!

most contra/square dance tunes work well on whistle also. using in the right keys, range fits, the tunes tend to be "square", repeated use of motifs/phrases makes them easy to memorize too.

if you feel like you want to play in public, most folk/contra dance troupes love live music and it can be a lower stress entre into performing.
