Bas van Haastregt https://p.eertu.be/c/basvanhaastregt/videos I'm Bas van Haastregt from the Netherlands. I am playing harp since January 2015. You can find me at medieval events and I like to play medieval, celtic and breton music. Sometimes I try to play metal music. I've 2 harps, a Dusty Strings Crescendo 34 and a black Camac harp (I don't know the type). Both are celtic harps (lever harps). Nowadays I mostly use the Dusty Strings, but you can also find video's where I use the Camac harp.

I had to play one mandatory tune and two tunes of my own choice.
I played the mandatory tune the best and had to play it again on the next day, during the finals. (Though I did not make it to the real finals. They did not like the kind of music I played, I think.)

This is me, live at the concours playing the mandatory tune; Bacas, written by Diego Fernandez de Huete (1633 - 1713).
The video is recorded by Emmanuel Frimout.
You can see the complete finals on YouTube via: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXU0uPll2no

I wanted it to be a happy tune, but while working on it, a not so gleeful tune formed itself too. So I had two tunes. Then I found out that they could go together well enough.

The title 'Dräga' means 'dragon' in the fictional language of Drägan Duma.

Once as I was reading the awesome bookseries Drägan Duma, written by Patty van Delft, I wanted to get my own dragon and fly away with it.
I expressed this feeling in music and found that I could quite well combine it with something I wrote earlier. It was not really what I wanted yet and I couldn't find how to change that, so I decided to let it go for a while.
Several months later, I tried to play along with the new music video 'Abbys of Time' of Epica. Here I found out that, for the last time of repeating the 'main sentence' they did go up a full octave and that gives a nice effect. I decided to try that for my own tune too and that was just what it needed.

Inspired by: Drägan Duma, written by Patty van Delft
