The Manatee • Live Looping • NS Design CR5 Electric Violin/Fiddle • Boomerang / Microcosm / Eventide
Sat down on Sunday to experiment with my NS Design CR5 electric fiddle and a new Hologram Microcosm pedal-and a new tune emerged! Calling it The Manatee after playing a solo looping boat gig down in Sanibel FL where I was the only one the animal showed themself to.

Live looping, one take. Pedals in play:
- Hologram Microcosm
- Eventide Pitch Factor, Time Factor, H9
- Boomerang Rang III
- TC Electronics Hall of Fame 2
- Fulltone GT500
- Origin Effects Cali76
- Lehle Mono Volume
- Grace Design Felix2
Also just got a MIDI splitter so I can lock the time-based effects together.
Manatee Wiki Factoids:
The manatee has been linked to folklore on mermaids. In West African folklore, they were considered sacred and thought to have been once human. Apart from mothers with their young, or males following a receptive female, manatees are generally solitary animals.
Manatees emit a wide range of sounds used in communication, especially between cows and their calves. The manatee has a tested frequency range of 8 to 32 kHz.
Manatees use their flippers to "walk" along the bottom while they dig for plants and roots in the substrate. Using their divided upper lip, an adult manatee will commonly eat up to 10%-15% of their body weight (about 50 kg) per day.
Social interactions between manatees are highly complex and intricate, which may indicate higher intelligence than previously thought, although they remain poorly understood by science.
The main causes of death for manatees are human-related issues, such as habitat destruction and human objects. Their slow-moving, curious nature has led to violent collisions with propeller-driven boats and ships. Some manatees have been found with over 50 scars on them from propeller blades.

Alberto, in all his study of the instrument has made a number of replicas. This is his first from 2004 and it’s my first time with gut strings. I get it.

Дякую❤
In dem Pub war ich schon. Wie schön ist das denn.
First head him in Brevard, NC at Duck Pond then again at the Merle Fest on hte hill side stage. Both times a great performance!
Thanks for letting me take that ride with you!
looks awesome Casey. good vibes from Australia
Thanks Rupert, I need a trip back to Australia!
The music and the cinematography all together are fantastic. I tasted something else. thank you Joyguru
Thank you for going on a journey with me! It was a very special experience
Welcome again. Come once more to this pure stream. I am also personally involved in this trend. Thank you, Jayguru@@CaseyDriessenMusic
Glad I found you. Is there a certain bow that would make the learning curve less steep? Tip center or frog balanced? Stiffness? Weight? Or is it all preference? Thank you!
That's a great question which I don't have an answer to. I've picked my bows based on how they respond to the control needed for melodic playing. I want a "universal" bow since I switch between techniques constantly. I'm playing one made by John Greenwood and love it. Maybe someone out there has tried bows based on chopping and can chime in?
Absolutely killer.
Thanks so much! Good times were had :-)
The sound worlds you create are always so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your music while also raising awareness about manatees. 💜 And the triplet feel at 1: 29.... soooo good.
Thanks for checking out the new tune and your kind words. Have a great day!
Yes, Casey! That's what I am talking about, bro. 🔥T
Thanks Trevor! Having fun with my new Hologram Microcosm and the pizz possibilities of the NS
Shit hot brother ✊ bless Pete SW18 Wandsworth.
Thanks Pete, be well!
Is this for all type of instrumentalists and vocalists or just strings?
Primarily for bowed strings. We like to do things a bit different though so we are happy to consider other instruments that may want to study with this faculty, and be in a violin/fiddle heavy community :-) Thanks for asking!
UnbeLIEVABLE!!!!
Jukka rilonen windermerw avenue
This is soo good, detailed to the dot and so innovative to notate it so perfectly!!! Amazing teaching too!! 🤩🤩Waiting to explore this technique!!
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you find useful
Defenitely my violin guru
Congrats!
Love this - one of my favourite Strathspeys played with great expression and the mixing of the reels works so well! Is there notation available? Will be checking out rest of album. All the best!
Thanks so much! It was great fun with Eilidh and Ross. I have notation for the melodies, but not this arrangement specifically. Drop a line to info{at}caseydriessen.com if you're interested
Hi Casey - I love this recording! I had the great pleasure of sitting in with Eilidh and Ross at a session in Arisaig last summer. Can you tell me the name of the tune used in the intro to this clip?
I’m in … I’ll bring guitars too!
Great! We'll need a few for the jamming :-)
Hell yes Casey, this is awesome
Thanks Jackson! See you around!
Anxo is a legend. Love this content.
Mr. Driessen, I saw you many years ago at the Purple Fiddle in Thomas ,WV. That night, you were playing in Frank Vignolo's Gypsy Grass ensemble. Terrific show-- so glad I got to see you perform :)
That was a fun group. Thanks for jogging the memories!
Beautiful!
This shows us how many beautiful doors there are to open by letting them knock on us. Inspiring and uplifting! RIP Kenny!
Thanks so much. It was an honor sharing music and good times with Kenny.
This is absolutely phenomenal the way you all integrate and yet push and feed each other. Excellent Casey the way you brought something different too and it worked. One day I will travel from Scotland and watch Blackie live. Its not even that far away!
We had a 1 night reunion not to long ago...mighty times were had!
@@CaseyDriessenMusic Thanks for the reply Casey. That sounds phenomenal, will you be publishing a video like this or album? On another note, I've seen Cyril play with Brìghde Chaimbeul from Scotland but not Blackie. Perhaps all of you could get together some time. Anyway, have a great Christmas and Hogmanay.
Lovely song and beautiful voice, I love it sooooooo much ❤❤❤
Can I hit the like button infinite times?!? You are an inspiration, thanks for translating the magic you hear into an experience for all of us.
i love this. beautiful and so authentic in the emotions. A perfect blend of cultures which gives this music a great dimension
Absolutely great lessons! Exactly what I needed!!
I have never heard something so extremely rich, mixed, colorful, strangely Latin and at the same time so unmistakably Slavic, with echoes of the Alps, but clearly of the Carpathians area. It is like those regions of the Carpathians, where countries like Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania and even Moldova, mix and lose their name to peacefully mix with each other; a kind of enormous ethnocultural breakwater, where southern Europe collides with the waves and currents coming from northern and eastern Europe to form the most unmistakably European, but at the same time unique and inimitable, ideosyncrasy of such unusual peoples as the Gorals and Hutsuls. Я ніколи не чув чогось такого надзвичайно багатого, змішаного, колоритного, дивно латинського і водночас такого безпомилково слов’янського з відгомонами Альп, але явно карпатського. Це як ті регіони Карпат, де такі країни, як Польща, Словаччина, Україна, Угорщина, Румунія і навіть Молдова, змішуються і втрачають свою назву, щоб мирно змішатися між усіма ними; свого роду величезний етнокультурний хвилеріз, де південна Європа розбивається об хвилі та течії, що приходять з півночі та сходу Європи, щоб сформувати найбільш безпомилково європейську, але водночас унікальну та неповторну ідеосинкразію людей, таких незвичайних, як Ґорали та гуцули. Nunca había oído algo tan extremadamente rico, mezclado, colorido, extrañamente latino y al mismo tiempo tan inequívocamente eslavo, con ecos de los Alpes, pero claramente de los Cárpatos. Es como esas regiones de los Cárpatos, donde países como Polonia, Eslovaquia, Ucrania, Hungría, Rumania e incluso Moldavia, se mezclan y pierden su nombre para mezclarse pacíficamente entre sí; una especie de enorme rompeolas etnocultural, donde el sur de Europa choca con las olas y corrientes provenientes del norte y del este de Europa para formar la ideosincrasia más inconfundiblemente europea, pero al mismo tiempo única e inimitable, de pueblos tan insólitos como los gorales y los hutsules.
Mycket fint spel och vacker film!
Bowing to The Official Chop Master 🙏 That was rad, thanks 🔥
Bowing or bowing? hahaha! You're too kind. I'm a branch on a tree that cannot be chopped down ;-)

We should definitely dedicate this special song 😢 charals danel😅😊
Maravilloso!
Sweet!

I miss Ireland we should go back :(
I’m way late to this, but Wow! This in incredible. I get and understand music deeply and this was something special. God bless you all! Thank you for this. Kiss yourself for me
Dude htf did it take this long for this to find me. Holy shit yea man.

Lovely!
Amazing demonstration! I learned so much from this video. Thank you! Downloaded the book. Can't wait to work on it. Andy Reiner introduced me your playing while we were at Berklee and I've been your fan since. ❤🙏
1:25 what instrument is this? o.o NICE SONG! ;D
Maija is singing and playing the kantele. Antti is on guitar. Glad you're enjoying and thanks for listening!
I keep coming back to this, it's heartwarming! You said it was "Recorded at: Alan’s home" - what was used to record?
