Roland Sessions: Lara Somogyi "Self Seed"

Roland Sessions is a live music performance series. This episode features Lara Somogyi performing "Self Seed”.
Lara Somogyi is a Los Angeles based harpist and solo artist. Using loop and pedal fx technology from Roland/Boss, she developed a unique sound on the harp that is inspiring a movement. Her exploration of harp and technology began with a successful Kickstarter campaign, which thanks to the generous support of her backers and Camac harps, enabled the production of an ongoing online music video album which has received over half a million views. This was followed by a pairing with loop & pedal fx companies such as Roland/Boss to help her further create new sounds and forge a new artistic identity for the harp.
A graduate from the Royal Academy of Music in London, she is also an active session and recording harpist - working in a wide range of genres for Film and TV, from studio sessions with the London Symphony Orchestra, to recordings for neo-classical labels such as Erased Tapes. Through her work with pop artists such as Guy Chambers and Rufus Wainwright, she developed a passion for modern recording and production which sparked an interest in the creative possibilities of the electroacoustic harp. As an active live artist, Lara is called upon for her unique combination of electroacoustic harp and fx pedals, recently performing live with artists such as Anderson .Paak, T.I., and Busta Rhymes.
Lara is currently writing and recording her debut album of original music, including "Hard Hat" and "Self Seed," soon available on spotify and iTunes.

So, touching my words can't accurately describe what I feel listening to this song. 😇💗 Thank you, Lara!!!!!!🎶

[@werners5191]

I feel fortunate to have discovered this.

[@jfcrevier]

Lara ... you are capsizing my heart with your beautiful music. As a musician it is very inspiring.

[@aliasoma]

Yes, yes, I would very much like more, please.

[@prmartin7259]

This music shows why Lara Somogyi is the best. Thanks for sharing your wonderful art. 🎼🎵🎶😃

[@MILCKmusic]

ABSOLUTELY DIVINE

[@lazylion420]

never heard a harp sound so modern before. her playing here alone is fantastic but now she needs to be surrounded by an awesome progressive/experimental band to accompany this magic. the electric harp with pedal FX would make an incredible addition to the right group. find its home within 21st century rock or EDM or (dare I say) hip hop. I love it.

[@NomadJones]

so cool! I can't stop wiggling my toes xx

[@sevenswordsx7]

The "KT Tunstall" of the harp. Heavenly talent.

[@humane143imperfection6]

[@dancingheart6224]

Beautiful song! It is so beautiful to me because it is so complex and upbeat.

[@CitrusWedge]

First of all, I am VERY offended your music overall is so underrated because it's so beautiful and unique. I just love watching you make these works of art, not to mention you always look like you are really having a good time making music like this. I'm inspired to try and learn to play the harp now, you make it seem like a really fun instrument to play and listen to. Thank you Lara. :)

[@SVDKO]

WOW 😍😍

[@venustunes]

[@cristianinventor]
