Just realised from the amalgamation of the threads that this tune is 2yrs older than I thought - time flies!

Very nice! I do remember your previous posting about this tune.

Much appreciated, CS. (Sorry about he missing o in ding.) Improve the times in future? I'm amazed you can do it at all.

Thanks for the comments Guest.

I start by making a good audio recording of all of the instruments. This is the longest stage, probably about 3-4 hrs. This track then becomes the guide for everything else. The next stage is fairly quick. I simply film myself playing each instrument while listening to the audio track through an ear-piece - probably about 90 min in this case. The final stage is to align all of the video tracks together with the audio track. I'm still a novice with this bit but getting better. It took about 3hrs this time. So all in all about 11hrs. It would be much quicker if I didn't use the fiddle as I find it more difficult to record than the other instruments. I expect to improve on these times in the future.

That is a very bouncy and good tune. Love what you're ding with the instruments. From curiosity, how long did it take you to put that video together? If you choose not to reply, that's fine.

I wrote this Scottish style reel in 2018. I named it after the lighthouse on Isle Ornsay off the Isle of Skye in Scotland. CC welcome.

Thanks Leeneia and Tattie Bogle. We enjoyed a great night listening to a session by the students from Sabhal Mor Ostaig two years ago.

Feel free to play and share the tune.

Really nice tune! Have been to Isle Ornsay, and the legendary pub there, for a number of nice meals, while visiting Skye and on courses at Sabhal Mor Ostaig (the Gaelic College) and Rick Taylor's Ensemble week in Broadford and Kyle of Lochalsh. Thanks Captainswing!
