Bolinder

[Theo]

Bought a CD at the end of a concert the other day. When I looked through the tracks there wa one called "Bolinder". Since it was a CD called Red House featuring Nyckelharpa (a Swedish instrument) music I thought that it was a cooincidence. I was surprised to read that the musiceians were so entranced by Spey's Bolider that they recorded it and wrote a jaunty bit of music using the rhythms.

 

PM me to know more.

Maybe an oxymoron there - hit and miss Bolinder and rythm

Left with the same loading and throttle settings the hit and miss makes a rather engaging rhythm.

Yes most rock ans folk music rhythm is 4:4. I'd say a Bolinder rythm is about 129:31

Never heard "The Bolinder Song", then?

[Dave_P]

I'm looking forward to a collaboration between Kelvin Rowland, BoLinda Ronstadt & Twisted Lister.

The first time I heard about Bolinder when I bought my first boat 17 years ago, I thought they were talking about champagne!

 

Bit like when a bloke was telling me about his Springer and I thought he was talking about his dog!

Or B and W speakers - "why are BMW now making speakers I thought".

[MtB]

That's interesting, I was aware of Bowers and Wilkins speakers before I ever heard of BMW cars, so my experience was the exact reverse. I thought 'blimey, a speaker manufacturer making cars? Now that's a big step up!'
