About Armand Aromin

Hello all,

I'm a not so-very-Irish Irish fiddle player in the Rhode Island/Boston area.

I like tea, origami, Donegal and Kerry tunes, composing, the crunch of pea pods, anime, not girls, Japanese rock and pop, Father Ted, and setting things on fire.

I envy people who own a copy of The Northern Fiddler.

Cheers,
Armand

Two Bits String Band	Feb 28 2008 11:59 AM HI, Armand. I was scouting out thesession. org this morning and ran across your myspace address. It was worth checking out! Thanks for the add...Vonnie from 2 bits...
John Haupert	Feb 28 2008 11:53 AM DUDE! I absolutely love "not girls" as well. We have so much in common!
Samantha Gillogly	Feb 25 2008 10:48 AM Hey cool person! Thanks for adding me!! :D How's it going with those guys who'll be recording your Boat House tune? -Sam PS: Father Ted is indeed the greatest show in the universe.
mike	Feb 22 2008 8:54 AM Welcome to the land of leprechauns,fairies and crooked politicians!
andrea	Feb 20 2008 3:05 PM Thanks for the ad! Saw your tunes on youtube, wonderful stuff! :)
Adam Hurt	Feb 1 2008 10:15 AM Thanks for commenting, and for your kind words about my music. I'm glad you like it! ;) Thanks also for posting the video of your banjo tune; it's very cool! As for your playing, nothing I see in the video makes me cringe, so I'd say that you're probably going about it correctly (although, granted, it's not always possible to see everything in this format...). Are you dropping your thumb yet? I couldn't quite tell, and didn't think I heard it...if not, this might be the thing I'd recommend adding to your bag of banjo tricks next. Here's hoping our paths cross at some point, as I'd love to play some tunes with you! The Boston area is on my list of places in which to try to organize a concert and workshop, so I'll let you know if this comes to pass. Have you given any consideration to attending the Clifftop festival in West Virginia? I think you'd find a lot of music there that would appeal (plus, I attend every year!!). Mark Simos can give you all the details you'd care to know, if he hasn't already done so.
Adam Hurt	Jan 29 2008 1:30 PM After happening onto your excellent videos on YouTube, I HAD to track you down on here. Your fiddling is absolutely terrific! Any chance you'd be willing to record yourself playing that Glory in the Meetinghouse, which you mentioned on your EDAE video? It's one of my favorites...and I'd love to hear your take on it!
Lili Sommerfeld	Jan 18 2008 7:16 AM
Karl	Jan 8 2008 5:11 AM Hi their Armand thanks for the add I saw your videos on youtube and you guy's rock . happy new year and all the best of success in 2008 ... Karl
Gordon A Jackson	Dec 6 2007 2:00 PM Nice tunes!
Devin Shepherd	Nov 29 2007 5:11 PM Caught your Foxhunter's on youtube the other day. Sounds great! Gotta love that alternate tuning. I'm sure you've heard James Kelly's version; if not, seek it out with all your might. Great stuff.
Stoddy	Nov 18 2007 7:58 AM I love listening to your music, it's soothing to me. About BUGLE, yes, I was there in the fall...I guess I was worried about it taking up too much time.
Ellen Angelico	Nov 14 2007 1:50 PM aw thanks armand!! you're not too bad yourself!
Bronwyn Keith-Hynes	Nov 9 2007 10:11 PM erm.. i think it's BE. i likewise, havn't conributed much of anything for many months- i find that by the time i come across an interesting looking discussion, it already has 50 some posts, all saying exactly what i was going to say. much more elequently. hah oh you know coffee too?? that's great, we should all hang out some time! ;) yeh, Catskills sound great- hopefully i'll make it up next summer.. though Swannanoa's pretty awesome too- you get spoiled, everything's on campus!
Bronwyn Keith-Hynes	Nov 9 2007 9:59 PM hey there, thanks for the add! i think i've seen you around thesession.org? maybe.. anyways.. I was at Swannanoa this summer, as they unfortunantly held them at the same time, but if Catskills is a week earlier next summer then I'm there!! did you go this year? heard it was crazy.. :]

MandoHarmony	Jul 8 2007 5:28 PM What does that mean?
Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh	Jul 1 2007 12:00 PM wow!! that master crowley's is FANTASTIC!! had some great tunes with Jimmy Devine and his two great fiddling gals in Ballyvourney on Thursday - they were singing your praises bigtime. Wahoo!
Sol	Jun 21 2007 11:08 AM Unhappy like the session left me depressed and desperately wanting to play some good Irish music. The thing is, the session has a lot of absolutely superb players, but the session dynamic was (and still is, to some extent) ailing. As a for instance, I remember the night we had three players -- one of the session's two leaders on fiddle, me on whistle, and really terrific player on keyless flute. The leader repeatedly over the course of a half-hour started sets of really complicated tunes in Bb, completely unplayable on everyone else's instruments. It was basically just him showing off instead of the three of us playing as a group. Ugh, I could go on and on. One really nice fiddler has told me he doesn't like starting tune sets there any more because of the politics, and while that sounds funny, I know just what he means. It can be very uncomfortable.
tinfoil	Jun 21 2007 12:48 AM somebody shouted "backpack" at me yesterday in SoPro
Sol	Jun 20 2007 3:46 AM 'Fraid we're not making the Catskills this year. We've got our local festival in July, and then a week in Goderich in August. Not sure when we'll make it back out your way. Things are going pretty well. The local session scene was perhaps best described as "unhappy" six months ago, but has been much better the last couple of months. I'm going through a period where I hate my own playing, but then, I hate most everyone else's too -- I think it's a phase. I do feel like I'm learning a lot. How are you doing?
Not That Sean Smith, the Other One	Jun 15 2007 5:28 AM Looks like I'm the first to clutter up your "Comments" box. Thanks for seeking me out, Armand -- and thanks for coming out to Celtic Music Monday the other night. Take care and hope to have more tunes soon!
