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.
Lookin forward to jamming with you again some time, Roark. I'm living in Rio Rancho now. I'll need some Harp tracks on some upcoming music....for Smooth Jazz Radio. Your friend, Wayne
