This is some wonderful music.


Check out Roark's website at http://roarkbarron.com

Roark is a harpist, composer and sonic sculptor. He's playing a heavily modified Lyon-Healy concert harp, made in 1933. It's a model 22. Roarke has modded it for electronic amplification and damping, in addition to creating the unique styling on the harp. Roark has mounted the 100 pound beast on a motorized chair for ease of getting around when he's playing on the streets. Everything he needs for busking is self contained on the chair, including amplification.
