yah! After playing two miserable bars of three against four I can’t believe how easy three against two is now….
The recording went really excellently. Me pal had all the gear in his room, and it was a just a case of me improvising until we found something we liked. We did this really cool thing where I played one thing then another and they overdubbed it. So the instrumental sounded really good anyway and I’m gonna get a copy of the finished track soon.It was nice harp-playing if I do say so myself, picky and modern, but not gagging on its own prettiness. Wow! my 1st job as a sessions harpist! Excitedly yours, Alex
S’brill ain’t it? she’s abit of a genius, especially since I fully intend to be a bit of an “indie” harpist. ;)(first band thang/recording on friday baby).Its hard coz I always sang with the harp (folk, own stuff etc.) now I would be afraid to go into it to risk comparison…Oh well looks like I’ll just have to make do with a major symphony orchestra *sigh*
Thankyou all for this wonderful response, they were ALL really helpful as well as pretty funny! Tempting as it is to trade my acoustic for an elctric guitar (or perhaps one of those KNEE TREMBLINGLY cool
Bonjour! My heart goes out to you Katrina, that really is an awful to happen to a nice lass like you- we should chat soon on msn! You haven’t been on for ages! Thanks for your advice on the above post. Although I feel abit red faced that both your respective situations seem alot worse than mine! Thankyou for your advice Carl, although I am tempted not to try as I am almost certain that she will be the only one who will complain! And given her attitude I don’t particularly WANT to accomadate her, especially since my parents have been such good neighbours to her. But still I should probably do that as it is probably fairer to all concerned, though I hope I don’t end up in a predicament like that of Keziah! Oh by the way Keziah, I live about 20-30 minutes outside of Chichester, West Sussex- know it? I probably shouldn’t bang on about the love of my life (joanna Newsom) but she is doing another set at the Komedia (Brighton)in September, if you don’t make the London one again. Thankee.
dear Carl, thankyou for answering ANOTHER of my quandries-it is really very usefulful and its wonderful that you got to know her. Of course my harp “upbringing” began with her two genious books and I still play her arrangement of David of the white rock as it always pleases the welsh people I know!
Now now Donald! my goodness the hostility towards Suzanne! what with the frosty reception she got with that britney Spears thread i’m beginning to worry our suzie’s gonna get a complex!
Bonsoir! Thanks so much peeps, all the tips were tres helpful! I’m making progress already, it’s a piece I really enjoy playing! here’s hoping I don’t encounter any of these fabled 3 against 4 (or…what was it?…6 against 7 ?!!) before I get over 3/2!
yes, in fact there web adress is quite simply;www.mumaharps.com, they are very big on cross strung harps. hope this helps!
hi my name is alex, i’m 15 and i live in the uk. i would really love to speak to a fellow male harpist, it can get pretty lonley for us guys!
hi steven, my name is alex , i’m 15 and i live in the U.K. i play a lever harp (a pilgrim clarsach, a good, solid, english harp!) but i would love to progress to a big pedal harp someday. i would also like to chat to another male harpist and it would also be nice to chat to someone from another country.
