Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star Demo on Harp

[@hendogeshan2677]

I have been bed ridden for many years. I have tears and my brain feels it has taken a healing medication. I just found your videos. Please please do an album of this music!!! You are on a frequency you may or may not know you are on. I don’t know what to say but thank you. I’m a musician/producer who can not play anymore. With all these crazy pedals with the beauty of the harp and your playing hits from another world that people like me have needed. From someone that is struggling so much you lit the room bright today!

[@HenritheHorse]

Same for me! I struggle with neuropathic pain and not being able to play instruments and produce like I used to, but the harp heals!

[@hendogeshan2677]

So sorry to hear! It can be a fight every day when going through such times. Finding the little things that bring a spark of hope and strength is something we have to continue to find! Hope you find some relief and answers to someday play and write again. One of the greatest heart breaks

[@davidgick3981]

@@HenritheHorse Perhaps you could make music on electronic instruments?

[@HenritheHorse]

@@davidgick3981 Yeah, I've got some synths, samplers and sequencers and playing piano isn't as bad as playing guitar or long beating at the drums. I've made some house, jungle, ambient and industrial along the years.

[@emilyharpist]

Your comment really warmed my heart!! I’m so glad to have you here listening and I’m so happy to hear that I can help. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I’m keeping you in my thoughts and I hope better days are ahead for you!!! Thank you so much for being here

Discovered coolest lady on youtube at 7 in the morning my day is completely made. Idgaf what happens today anymore

[@emilyharpist]

Lmfaooo thank you so much!! That made me smile haha I’m so glad you’re here!! 🥰🎶

[@vicjames2743]

As a guitarist that’s played around with many pedals to get the sounds I want I will say your creativity using your pedals with the harp is magical on so many levels. I’ll watch all of your vids with my headphones Please keep your sound evolution flowing and your talent at such a beautiful instrument.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you!!!!! Your comment made me smile :)

[@oldbloodnoise]

Magnificent. 100% mix in the delay mode is fab.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much!!! 😊

[@wj2music]

The crush mode can sound either beautiful, or downright terrifying

[@bobbeland9220]

The pitch effect is pretty cool to have all in one pedal. I had to utilize a delay rack mount and a harmonizer with a three preset pedal board to get that sound live back in the dark ages (1980’s). The effects really shine on a harp and frankly a lot more enjoyable to check out. Thanks Emily! BTW - do you know that there is a song by Pink Floyd called, “See Emily Play”???? ✌️😎🎶

[@nirradyen-tolobaz3727]

Emily Hopkins is heading a vanguard of new directions in music for the angelic harp and the possibilities of collaboration with experimental musicians in a profound way,brings some much needed healing frequency.

[@audibletapehiss3764]

This is absolutely true. Great musicianship and real instruments combined with this wonderful, living, breathing technology of pedals is infinitely more satisfying than programmed midi in all of its sterility.

[@CoenBijpost]

Never knew my next favourite KZbinr would play the harp 😂 Sounds absolutely amazing 🤩 I bet there’s lots of guitarists in your crowd!

[@grantbrown4727]

This was the first of your videos I've watched with my good headphones and I'm about to re watch every video I didn't know what I was missing

[@emilyharpist]

Your comment made me smile :) thanks so much for being here ❤️ I really should add “please wear headphones” in the descriptions from now on! A lot of work goes into mixing these videos!!

[@sixstringedthing]

Thank you, this comment has prompted me to realise that I need to go back and rewatch through my hifi speakers!

This sounds like something I'd hear from Cryo Chamber, which is one of my favorite ambient labels. Keep up the amazing work!!!

As a guitarist, I really love what you're doing with your harp and effect pedals, Emily. Thanks for your content ❤️❤️❤️

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much, Jonathan!! ❤️ ❤️

[@mrn5022]

That's so weird. I was looking through your videos the other day hoping you had demoed the Dark Star. The crush setting sounds so beautiful. I love this pedal and love your playing as always.

[@emilyharpist]

I couldn’t wait to do this one! It’s been on my list for a while. I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful crush sounded! Thanks so much :)

[@derekcope3803]

I searched for animal music videos for my daughter and found one with you and some dude in a deer suit. Just realized we've been watching you now for like five hours. You win 2 subs!

[@emilyharpist]

HAHAH aww thank you so much!! Thank you both for watching and listening!! 🥰❤️

[@Raysmobileonsite]

Music that makes me cry for no apparent reason is pure magic. You are definitely a talented magician.

[@ILikeWafflz]

I just found the playlist on your second channel and I'm commenting here because this is the first video on it. 62 videos of these beautiful weird harp demos?? It comes to like, 8 hours; I stumbled into a _huge_ gold mine!

[@kurobass]

I'm really liking the text overlay to help get a more nuanced idea of what you're doing when the controls change. Thanks for that!

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks Steven! I’ve been trying to incorporate it into more videos lately! I really appreciate you letting me know ❤️ 😊 thanks for being here!

[@Shibby4L]

Perfect timing. Was wondering what this sounded like on harp. You’re incredible. Definitely buying this pedal.

[@OIP_1]

awesome! i've loved this pedal for years, 100% wet mix is my secret guitar weapon. it sounds fantastic on harp and your playing is wonderful!

[@emilyharpist]

I’m so glad I went full mix!! I’ve been wanting to try this one for a while and it exceeded my expectations!!

[@OIP_1]

@@emilyharpist yeah on guitar with some distortion before the dark star and heavy vibrato you get kinda string orchestral sounds, it's awesome

[@williamgieras8505]

I came across Emily by searching pedals for harp, blues harp. What an unexpected pleasure! So looking forward to Sunday mornings with her first recorded LP, please make this happen soon!

[@emilyharpist]

I'm working on it!!!!! Thanks for being here :)

[@matteogazzolo1]

Of course, Dark Star needs no words at all, it's pure ambient magic. In your hands it shines indeed!

[@277southtombob]

The harp is such a beautiful and underused instrument. It sounds great through the Dark Star as well, I imagine there’s quite a few modulation effects would work well with harp. A Leslie/rotary speaker is something that I can imagine working very well with the harp.

[@christineweatherford5852]

Wow! I must say the Serrana shines in this demo 🤯 it sounds so amazing!!!!

[@olive5636]

Ever since I found this video, I come back and watch it at least once a week. Especially the delay mode jam, with mix at 100% (I listen to that on spotify all the time too). This is so otherworldly and magical, gets me emotional every time. Thank you for sharing your talent Emily.

[@flux1968]

@@emilyharpist It's amazing, but I'm beginning to think its real strength is in how it stacks with other pedals. Right now I'm running it into an Electro-Harmonix Canyon delay, and every setting on the Dark Star sounds great.
