Testing out my electroacoustic harp / Merry Christmas!

  • A short rendition of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, on my new Lyon & Healy Style 2000 electroacoustic. Happy Holidays!
    This is the last minute of an arrangement by Skaila Kanga that's an old favourite of mine - you can buy the book featuring this song and a number of other well-loved Jazz tunes here: www.theharpstu...
    At the moment I think being able to play with instant reverb is my favourite thing about this instrument. You basically can't go wrong with a bit of Valhalla VintageVerb! Added to that, this way I get to stay in my comfort zone, with Cubase running and my headphones on. Perfect.
    I filmed this test recording as a gift for my patrons on Patreon - the full video and an audio download are available exclusively for them.

    Gorgeous! I have always thought you are an incredible harpist, but this is next level exciting. I’m so happy you have found ‘your harp’, you can see and hear a very special connection and I can’t wait to see how it grows with time. Merry Christmas Amy, thank you for sharing your beautiful music and creativity with the world x

    I’ve been following Amy for a few years now, and this is the first time I think I’ve ever heard her play glissandos in one of her videos. Lol
    Beautiful as always, Amy. Merry Christmas!

      Merry Christmas 🌲
      As a harpist I feel like playing a glissando is often kind of an obvious hackneyed thing - so I try to reserve them for when they're really needed, or when something needs to be really slushy!
      There are glissandos in... Zora's Domain and Rey's Theme, and there's loads of glissandos in La Belle Noiseuse. So you can check those out if you like!

    Hey cool the stereo spread on the speakers...
    If I could project myself anywhere and into anything or anyone ATM, I'd enter that thing on the right there under the palm/cabbage plant and then go curl up in Amy's lap and listen to her play.
    It's Feb. 11 now and 2 years later, though, but, sure, Merry Christmas!

    It sounds gorgeous!! I'm sorry if this sounds annoying but I do think the EQing could use a little attention around the mid-range... I only know this from recording my guitar, there are some frequencies that sound a bit "quacky" around the middle spectrum that drive me crazy when I record off the pick-up - play around with cutting mid frequencies (around 2.5-4k Hz) and I think you'll get a sweeter more acoustic sound!! Keep up the awesome work

    • @amyturkharp
      @amyturkharp  2 года назад +1

      They're on the centre strip. It's one pickup for every string and then they're summed down to a stereo out. It's a little harder to spot with the crazy paint job of this harp, but the centre strip is very different to a purely acoustic harp if you look at them side by side.
