just thought I'd post this since I had good time playing it today. harp, pedal chain, and ciat-lonbarde cocoquantus all have their own mixer channels, and I use fx sends to route harp to both pedals and coco, and the pedals and coco to each other, so it all records itself and takes new input.

most of the pedals are time-based/loopers/delays of some kind.

after all that it goes to the tape deck for saturation and drive, as well as recording, and then to the amp/headphones and the zoom h4n recorder.

the music I'm making with this ranges from textural Basinski-like stuff to weirdo folkier Natural Snow Buildings stuff. both of them are big inspirations for me.

thanks for reading, let me know if you have any questions about it. would love to see other people's setups as well.

      thank you for kind words!

      I recommend checking out Basinski's Disintegration Loops (which has a really interesting backstory with 9/11) https://youtu.be/mjnAE5go9dI

      and NSB's Night Coercion into the Company of Witches https://youtu.be/Iwk0CtLMV6A

      yes, two piezos in the body of the harp, connected to a female 1/4". though, the female input doesn't actually mount very well inside the harp. I've tried tape and wood glue and neither really do it, it just rips off when jostled (not the piezos themselves).

      any tips anyone has on keeping a piece like that mounted would be super helpful

        Would it be possible to mount a jack plate somehow? Something like this: https://www.warmoth.com/Football-Side-Jack-Plate-Black-P125C68.aspx

            Aight, let me know if it'll work. If not, we'll see if we can come up with something else.

    yo I fucking love this, is there any video/recordings of you actually playing it? I want to hear what this sounds like

      I'll post some up! I have a bunch recorded but not much easily accessible. can anyone suggest a place other than youtube to host longer videos?
