We Found Love on Harp

I thought I would do a cover of this awesome dance song with a rock harp twist. Unfortunately my equipment right now doesn't allow me to record live with a video camera (due to feedback with the harp/pedal effects and the fact my equipment is about as good as a tin can and string) so please forgive the rough lip sync. If it's bothersome just listen and don't watch :)

Thank you Rihanna, Calvin Harris and Def Jam peeps for giving us this fantastic song. I hope you like my version.

The distortion effects you hear are created by plugging in the pickup on my harp to Logic Studio on my computer and then messing around :)

You need a big blue along with a loop machine! Then you could do all of this live (well most of it!) I haven't seen a lot of looping with the harp but there are a lot of cellists using it to great effect (check out zoe keating really neat stuff that I think could really be unique on the harp with the many great musical tones and sounds the harp can make.

And some harp-looping (not the same pop style as you but neat nevertheless)

@hmr28 Thanks for sharing that! I have heard Chris Lancaster's looped harp music and loved it. Zoe's is really divine. That kind of experimentation is definitely the direction I'm headed in, I just have to wait until I have money for all the equipment :)

@RyanWilliamMooney Aww thanks Ryan! To be honest I'm scared sh*tless to be venturing into pop music. I love it but there are some really GOOD people out there already, like you :)

@RussellPatrickBrown there are also talentless awful people making money off of the populous when there is a talent as great as yours let it shine. You are awesome and music is fun, don't be fooled by a genre.
