I don't know much about the instrument aside from it being a Harp but i know its super hard to play songs exactly like they originally sound. That sounded EXACTLY like the original sound track song!! Now that is impressive!!
I always thought this song really showed how he is the same composer for xenogears, it sounds like it can come from there as well. got to love Mitsuda.
Haha thanks for the reply. Which D might that be? D3? D2? I'm contemplating getting an electric lever harp and am determining whether it would be enough range for me.
You really must get a better microphone and place it somewhere else than near your pc, or else you'll get soo much static like in this clip. Also the recording quality itself has so much more potential... I think so much of the sound is lost due to the poor microphone yet.
I didn't use a mic in all my early videos, but now I do. The sound was recorded by the camera itself, which is why it's humming constantly and has bad sound.
You know what? I give you props. Not because I like the song (oh science I do) but because there are very few people who have even seen a harp IRL, let alone know how to play it. Keep the real arts alive. While I play the violin I know many. I don't know 1 harpist.
My favorite game! Yasunori Mitsuda is absolutely AMAZING. What he did for Chrono Cross was out of this world. I love his work and you certainly do it justice.
lol, are you serious? of course they still make harps. so many pieces of music use it, no other instrument sounds like it. they're in every major orchastra.
Ahh, very nicely played, very calming. I applaud you.
I've actually been considering whether or not to get a harp, but there's one problem. My right hand is a little damaged, so I can really only use one or two fingers with string instruments. Would that pose too extreme of a problem for playing the harp, or would I be able to manage with a partially messed up hand? My left hand is perfectly fine.
You'd be able to play only some songs with just one or two fingers that are usable on your right hand. However, with a perfectly fine left hand, you might be able to compensate with elaborate accompaniments. I wouldn't give up hope if it's something you really want to do, but I'd start with renting a harp before buying one just to try it. I wish you the best if you do. The harp is so rewarding to play!
I'm not quite sure if I want one yet, but if I do get another instrument, it'll either be the harp or the violin. Right now I have an ocarina and a keyboard which I should probably practice more on before getting another instrument, though my right hand makes the latter a bit difficult to learn to its full extent... I can handle nicely with the ocarina, though. But yes, thanks again.
It sounds good, but I think a slightly lighter touch on the strings might take some of the shrillness out of the melody, bringing it more in line with the softness of the song.
duuude ur so awesome. i never really realized how nice a harp sounded until i heard this song. u represented it with ur instrument well. good job man! i'd give 10 stars, but they only give out 5... so... 5 stars!
OMFG!!!!!!!!!! this song its beatifull, even if the original is in bit sounds xD, but this harp version just makes it more emotional, very VERY good job
I'm glad to see another musician taking interest in what I believe is a very poignant, understated piece of music.
There is so much undiscovered genius in Japan (unknown to the west, that is). Composers from the worlds of anime and video games rival some of the most gifted and creative, even amongst whom westerners would dignify as "the greats."
Wow, you weren't kidding about it immediately tugging on the heart strings. Just the first few notes grab you and you're enslaved to the tune for the rest of the song. Amazing. This song has never had this effect on me before until just now when I hear it played live.
Great job, ure very talented :) U don't see many ppl playing the harp these days
