I know that hg isn't traditionally used in Turkish music, but here's a tune that my band just learned and recorded last night:
It's in 9/8, and the maqam is kurd. The performance isn't flawless, and the recording quality's not great, but you get the idea.
Also, hello to Scott, who mentioned that he's found hg players on myspace. Is there a discussion group there? I started a hg discussion group on tribe.net (which is like myspace, but with a more mature population in general.)
but it doesn't get a lot of traffic. The goal was that it would be a way of discussing hgs without filling up our inboxes. For example,
someone could start a thread about kinds of wood to use to build hgs, and I could ignore that thread because I don't build hgs. But the fact that it isn't used much, while this list is, probably means that people are pretty happy with this list. I know I am, despite all the emails I delete.
