Ok, I found the coolest thing ever.
===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):

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.

Oh shit! 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!!!!

@tinker @coreysnipes @eff Have you listened to the track 3cag by Kneecap? That makes me want more edm with traditional Irish sounds. The mix reminds me of some Bonobo or Boards of Canada.
