Instrumental music is usually good for writing to because I don't get distracted by the words.  So I put on a Wicked Tinkers CD.

How in the <i>hell</i> do you get bent notes with a bagpipe?  I am not imagining this.  I am not interpreting grace notes as bent notes, these are definitely bent notes.  On highland pipes, it says here.  No electronic manipulation that I know if.

The heretical bastard Aaron Shaw has a bass tappan (drum) accompaniment to his  very scary, very creepy piobrochead ("A Flame of Wrath," commemmorating the composer. Donald Mor, burning all the people of a village in their homes to avenge the death of his brother, Squinting Patrick).  It just makes it creepier and scarier.

I dunno; it is an interesting conundrum.

I was thinking of doppler effect about like you are, but now that I think about it a bit more, it doesn't really seem like it would be possible to get much of a note-change out of that without moving painfully fast.
