Daily instrument — Cláirseach

The cláirseach or Irish harp is the traditional harp of medieval Scotland and Ireland. The cláirseach has a large soundbox, a curved neck, an out curved fore pillar, 30–50 heavy brass strings, tuned diatonically, and is plucked by fingernails. The cláirseach survived through the 11th–17th century, but then disappeared. In 1820 a modern version of the instrument was created. It was more lightweight, used gut strings, and could be played chromatically.

I present to you - my storyboards for 'The Four-Angled Whale', the origin of the Irish harp, according to Irish mythology! These storyboards are for an envisioned short film or animation.

Based on one of my favourite Irish myths, whereby Cana Cluadhmor invents the Irish harp based on a beached whale.

This is set in pagan Ireland, in a pre-Christian era.

The Irish Harp

No musical instrument has ever had to carry so much baggage, surely, as the Irish harp. It has been the symbol both of Ireland under English rule and of the Irish Free State. Unadorned, on a green background, it was a rebel flag in 1916. While its earliest origins are lost, the Irish harp has a certain history dating back at least 1000 years. Brian Boru, the last High King of Ireland (d 1014), is…

GODSTONES - THE DAGDA

The Dagda ("the good/capable god") is portrayed in the lore as a powerful warrior, a wise chieftain, and a shaper of the land, appearing in such tales as the Second Battle of Moytura, the Wooing of Étaín, and How The Dagda Got His Magic Staff. Known for his massive stature, lowly appearance, and his mastery over all the arts, the Dagda is one of the most important figures in the Mythological Cycle.

This is an art series depicting the Gaelic gods as ancient statues, with designs loosely inspired by historical finds, such as the Boa Island and Tandragee idols from Northern Ireland, and the Ballachulish Figure from Scotland. In this piece, the Dagda is pictured with his signature harp, club, and cauldron.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy Anniversary of the Unification of Italy! Although the Irish and Italian flags have fewer roots in their diasporas than the Lithuanian flag, they're both associated with revolutionary movements and emancipation in their respective countries. Both are modeled after the French Revolutionary tricolor!
