Alexis Chartrand: Fiddling, Groove and Ornamentation
About this episode
There’s such a fascinating variety to a life in music; and this series features wonderful musicians worldwide with in-depth conversations and great music, with over 100 episodes to explore. For this week’s episode I was able to add some additional music to a special re-release with fiddler Alexis Chartrand who has shared 3 tracks for you to listen to. His Bandcamp and socials are linked below; so please go buy the tracks or albums if you like what you hear! Alexis talks very thoughtfully and about his background as a son of dancers, both groove and ornamentation in different traditional styles of fiddling, his explorations of tone colour with baroque violin, and some of his musical influences and inspiration. Like all my episodes, this is available wherever you listen to podcasts, the video of the original episode is on my YouTube, and the transcript is also linked to my website where you can sign up for my weekly podcast newsletter and get access to sneak peeks for upcoming guests. https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/e5-s1-alexis-chartrand-fiddler
