I have been sitting with a new recording for a few days now, letting it settle the way good traditional music does when it has found its shape. “Wind On The Slates” is an original medley of reels, recorded recently with Celticado, and it feels like one of those moments where the music knows what it wants before you do. This set grew the old way. One reel leaned into the next, not because it was planned on paper, but because it felt right under the fingers. The tunes started to talk to each other. Phrases echoed, answered back, then pushed forward again. Reels are supposed to move, and this one wanted to travel, like wind running across roof slates, steady and restless at the same time.
