Crotal is a strange instrument I played on a CD at Caius. I didn’t think Crotal sounded that strange when I heard the name. I first rang a literal cow bell on a track we recorded on tour in Ireland at the end of first year. Crotal did cause some amusement because of its obscure origin. If you want to know more about the bronze age instruments we used then head over to Simon O’Dwyer’s site ancientmusicireland.com.
Clearly my work at Caius was important to me, and so I just wanted to make a note of it here.
