tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis. As they say.
The last three bits of work I did, Foolestroupe, were an acoustic session type gig in a bar, a full-on stage gig with PA and lights, a dance for a union conference, and some CD promotion in relation to organic food outlets and craft shops in Cumbria. There's a good blend of very new technology with millennia-old techniques. The music probably created in the period 1600-19970, though that is difficult to define precisely as a lot of it transforms itself continuously.
