The irony is that harps of that type wouldn't exist without pushing some boundaries. Journeying into what is possible is part of being an artist, not just a musician.

I have so much respect for the way that you not only doubled down on your position, but instead of dismissing the haters, you instead channeled them towards another musician/creative as something they may be more likely to enjoy.

Glorious stuff! I’m reminded of Brian Eno’s collaborations with Harold Budd (Ambient 2 and The Pearl), where Eno treats Budd’s pianos with all sorts of fx from delays and chorus through to shimmer reverb, which Eno was pretty much inventing at the time through creative patching. The beauty of the piano is still there, but transformed in all sorts of beautiful ways to add layers to the improvisation. Pianos are amazing but not sacrosanct; and the same applies to harps.

3:03 and 4:20 are both so dope. You should make an ambient album of songs like this!

Yes, that was truly gorgeous

Here's the thing I love the most out of using pedals to turn the harp into a synth: sympathetic resonance. The way that the harp strings resonate into the wood and the wood transfers a subtle resonation into the other strings creates a very full and lush sound. It's part of why the harp sounds the way it does, but it's not something we normally perceive much. But when effects pedals pick up all those other subtle resonances and amplify them, you get a sound that is so much bigger than just the notes played. That's something that most synths could never pull off, at least not organically. Amazing sound.

Sounds amazing, like something from a really atmospheric scifi movie. People get too hung up on what they think an instrument should sound like, but they forget that it's art. Trying new things and figuring out what's cool and sounds good is half the fun.

The Miku Fart was an auditory nightmare, but I definitely couldn't tell it was a harp! 5/5 The other pedal combinations were much more pleasing to hear. Solid 5/7 for them. I still don't *get* the shock people have with the sound signal. The harp isn't *physically* making these final sounds. The acoustic quality isn't impeded. This is as scandalous as a composer in the 90s using a midi harp in a Gameboy game, or a film distorting a recording for an effect. It's taking a signal that is already dry and adding different textures and colors purposefully (or experimentally) to create a different sound. It's common! And the harp is still making its characteristic sound!

Also when I do my scores I love treating my analogue synrhs, guitars, vocals, whatveer. I don't understand how people are against experimental processing and warping sound. It's pretty much my Style. I had a hammer dulcimer player on my last feature film length score (film is called Senseless, by TrashArts,) and we sampled every string in pairs using two ebows to create harmonic resonance. There's no sound like it. We still used normal hammer dulcimer at time for arpeggios, glissando, rakes etc, but I made huge orchestral chord extensions like C11+13 made entirely out of drones and then doubled it with synth. In another scene I went a little further and had each arpeggio from the hammer dulcimer doubled as an echo with Om27 Omnichord, and then Ebowed dulcimer drones for each note of each chord following it all in this ethereal spread. So I got the best of both worlds on that score. On my newest score The Pocket Film Of Superstitions, I've sampled segments of the string section I recorded in France and made a whole new piece from them using modulated delays and reverbs from Eventide to expand the stereo spread and trace individual harmonics etc from the original sound source. Again to me at least, there's nothing wrong with warping the sound and making something else. It changes mood and atmosphere. I love your channel keep experimenting ❤️

Wow, the sounds and vibes you're creating here are pretty awesome. Not sure why anyone would have a real problem with it. Very cool.

Lovely cup of Tea you have there. Can you believe some people come here for Music and Pedals?! I'm only here for the Tea Recommendations.
