Old Blood Noise Endeavors Sunlight Demo on Harp

[@russellfrohberg2736]

Sun Light & Dark Star… are they sisters? Best friends? Alter-egos? Sworn enemies? OBNE I need to know

[@JohnsDough1918]

Give us the lore, OBNE. We implore you.

Star Trek mirror universe situation?

they are lesbians and they’re in love

[@emilyharpist]

Yessss 🥺💖

[@therealandrew185]

It does seem like they were meant to be set next to each other like this. They're looking at each other in the final clip.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

If the universe has a soundtrack, it sounds something like this.

[@badguy_1996]

Agreed!!

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

I was imagining similar imagery.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you!!! :)

[@JakieWakieEggsAndBakie]

Imagine them making a dual pedal of the two called Solar Eclipse though

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

@@JakieWakieEggsAndBakie that's a good idea. Or even doing a song with a looper pedal incorporating both. The harp would do it justice.

[@luisbalderrama8145]

I would listen to albums and albums of this. Your playing is beautiful and sounds so outer worldly.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!! ❤️ I’m putting this up on bandcamp and Spotify soon!!

[@downhomekitty]

This is such pure, wholesome content.

[@roryjineffect]

And definitely safe for kids

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

She's an inspiration to children.

[@jeffwigle9154]

Yes

[@seantrottier2466]

This pedal sounds _really_ good. Now you've got me looking at my pedals and my hammered dulcimer and thinking...

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Do it!

[@thelanavishnuorchestra]

There was a fellow who used to play electrified hammer dulcimer in downtown San Francisco 20 years ago and it was beautiful. This rather reminds me of that sound, but the harp is more ethereal and the dulcimer was more intense. I'm wondering what felting your hammers would sound like electrified.

[@seantrottier2466]

@@thelanavishnuorchestra I have some felted hammers. You and Emily Hopkins may have inspired a really cool solo jam session this weekend... I have some synths with external ins, and oh man. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@robertevans7534]

@@seantrottier2466 I’m dying to know how it turned out!

[@aaroncarr3413]

Oh my, does your dulcimer have pickups? Or do you just use a microphone?

[@xneurianx]

As a multi-instrumentalist who loves seeing instruments used in interesting and creative ways... WOW. I'm pretty new to your channel (thanks to your distortion on harp videos) but I have found everything I have watched so far just massively, MASSIVELY inspiring. I have neither the space or money for a harp but if I find myself with both in future, I think I sort of need one. Amazing. Just absolutely breathtaking work.

[@dzd2371]

I'm in the same boat. I started playing guitar over piano and drums long ago because it was easy to just take with me. The harp has always had me intrigued though as well.

[@ABLO_dnb]

Same! This is so musically refreshing and miles away from my usual pallet.

[@riffhammeron]

This is great. I feel like the danger to my children is very minimal.

[@coolnegative]

🤣right!? It's absolutely ridiculous that she took a hit for that video!

[@chipsterb4946]

This music is wonderful. I love the ways she uses effects to do even more with her instrument and obvious skill. And then there are her smiles 🌞 Jeff - it just shows us how crazy our world has become when someone can report a video of harp music as dangerous to children AND IT GETS TAKEN DOWN. This goes beyond guilty until proven innocent. It is censorship until deemed acceptable. Even 2 years ago, I would’ve laughed if you told me this was where we were headed. (Forgive me if this seems out of place. I have passed the point of remaining silently tolerant of the loss of the most basic freedoms.)

[@leomilani_gtr]

@@coolnegative what video?!

[@coolnegative]

@@leomilani_gtr the video with the distortion pedal from awhile back.......probably within a week before I first made this comment..........

[@therealandrew185]

I really appreciate that you guys started putting text on screen to explain what was happening. I was so lost on the older videos but I think this is actually my fav pedal channel now.

[@dzd2371]

Easily my favorite pedal channel. There's not 30 minutes of talking and explanations. I don't need to see an unboxing or be told what a knob does. Just play and twist the thing 🤣 I don't mind the text though as I can ignore it.

[@dougbeacon9760]

That second section sounds like something straight out of N64. Amazing

[@UnderwaterFuzzPedal]

I thought the same exact thing! Serious Zelda vibes 💚

[@executioners_bong]

i thought the same thing! very zelda, very dire dire docks

[@mxadema]

Now in a child friendly format! I love what you are doing. pushing boundaries. great pedal in unusual application.

[@zombifriedrice9571]

5:24- 7:22, Pure beauty, felt like a mix between Vangelis and the Waltz from Tangerine Dreams soundtrack on Legend! So, so incredibly good!

[@NamehereGaming25]

If you don’t already have an album recorded in a style like this, you really should I feel like people would love it!

[@samthomas1945]

Wow this is unbelievable. Beautiful playing and this pedal compliments the tone of the harp perfectly. Honestly it sounds better than on a guitar. Keep up the amazing work

[@emilyharpist]

Wow!! Thank you so much, Sam!! I really appreciate you :) I had so much fun with this pedal

[@thefrisianviking28]

It feels like reliving a happy memory. That's the best way I can describe it. Fantastic sound.

[@munchkinmeep]

That you smile after playing makes this super extra delightful to watch ☺️

[@ScreamingDeaf]

Finally a KZbin Channel where my anxiety goes away and my hopes in humanity goes back. First time I see this on KZbin: Almost 50 000 views, more than 1500 thumbs up and... NO THUMB DOWN! That's amazing! 💚

[@ScreamingDeaf]

Remember when we could see how much dislikes? 🥲

[@ScreamingDeaf]

Btw, how a view count can go down? It was almost at 50 000 views 3 months ago and now, it went down to almost 30 000 views 🤔

[@rickwaltman5580]

Wow. That jam 6 -7 minutes in on the comb mode is just beautiful. This unit looks pretty lovely.

[@xdoctorblindx]

Honestly, with demos of these more experimental pedals, I think you get a better idea of what they're capable of with a harp than with a guitar. After watching this, I'd be confident that this pedal would sound great on guitar, bass, and keyboard, too. Beautiful work, Emily!

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much Ezra!! I really appreciate that :)

[@Jarjoriskamin]

It's a wonderful pedal, it surprised me how well it goes with heavy distortion and fuzz. Inspiring in all the aspects.

[@Solarhawke]

The first couple minutes sounded like the intro to the best trad doom song yet to be made. I need that song. 🔥🔥🔥

[@mooseymoose]

Now this is seriously awesome! The pedal, the playing, the shirt. Killin’ it! Just when I thought I was done buying pedals, sigh.

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

Beautiful. It's like the 'good witch' version of the dark star, almost.

[@sebastiaanhaverkamp9126]

do be wary of the witch, for where there is light, there will always be shadow... (ordered this to pair up with my dark star, can't wait, and thank you for this insight)

[@noyd4172]

My new favorite reverb played by my favorite harpist/effects demonstrator! This will be another one that I'll just put on a few hundred more times as music. Sunlight bringing brighter days, I hope!

[@emilyharpist]

Morpheus!!! Thank you so much. Such an amazing reverb! I always appreciate your comments :) this has been on repeat for me too honestly 😅 I love the sounds from this one

[@dantheface2986]

Just discovered this channel like a week ago already my new favorite non guitar content on KZbin

[@belaclordofthe5threalm673]

The songs you play always match so well with each pedal. You really could put an album out for each effect. So good, thank you for sharing your work.

[@andrethomas4705]

The second and fourth pieces are, of course, phenomenal!

[@Angel-cu5mf]

wow the art on that pedal 😻 sold on the aesthetic alone

[@sown1star436]

Really digging this pedal and the previous Old Blood.

[@ROccam-fp9jx]

These tones are haunting and seemingly outside of Time. Of course, there's something timeless about harpists too. What a cool artistic path you have chosen!

[@sulmenite6938]

So much room in these sounds! Huge!

[@n0lanv0id]

😊 Makes me feel like I'm revisiting an old memory from a past that never existed 🌌

[@roryjineffect]

OBNE make great stuff and are lucky to have someone like yourself displaying that quality to full effect

[@toddpattison]

The melody speaks volume, and yes the fade captures the essence of feeling and provide the space to travel with the piece .;.

[@toddpattison]

I see you get amused by how some of the trailing delays fade .. have you ever tried putting 3-4 delay pedals into a loop? you'll enjoy

[@hristiangeorgiev5236]

There is this song of Cinematic Orchestra called Breathe that I so much love. The pass mode on this pedal with sample and hold reminds me so much of this song that I want to have it just because of this. Great playing. Thank you.

[@emilyharpist]

Omg I know that song!!! The album that one is on is SO GOOD!! I need to give it a listen

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

I must admit, I'm consistently envious of your pedal collection, let alone your skills.

[@zAvAvAz]

Salutation. A lovely and beautiful playing of sounds, it feels heavenly and of the abode of the stars.

[@Countachockula]

My new favorite artist. I could listen to this all day long. In fact I have today.

[@stevesmith3990]

I find it interesting how the harp demonstrates the Sunlight's sounds better than loads of guitar demos does - well done.

[@keithpennington6141]

I like that you find a musical way to use every pedal. I could just listen to the demos all day .

[@RASD87]

Man, that tape warble is amazing. I love the Alt setting too. The way it holds on to the previous notes and lets Emily play over the top with a cleaner tone... Dream-like.

[@EnglishAndFilm]

Hard to put into words how much of a profoundly calming, centring and intensely emotional effect your videos and compositions can spur. So grateful to Tom Scott for recommending your heaviest distortion pedal video in his newsletter a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for sharing your music!

[@ЮрийРулёв-и2ж]

Wow. I was never expecting to hear anything soooooo beautiful on mass media. I'm impressed! "It's such a music to my ears" in every meaning of this expression! It's such a musical adventure/journey, WOW! Awesome 😊

[@itsthe773guero5]

I am a bassist......just discovered you and im going to subscribe because harp is so incredible and you are gonna take it next level, i am in awe

[@isomatic]

Your playing is always so beautiful. I especially enjoyed the tune for the Comb demo. This pedal is super cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@cloudshad0ws]

I picked this pedal up recently and am absolutely loving it. Might be the best reverb pedal I've ever heard/played. And I feel like I'm just beginning to scratch the surface as I haven't even messed around with the EXP pedal and footswitch options. If anyone is on the fence about getting this thing: Do it.

[@emilyharpist]

Agreed!! This pedal is AMAZING!!!! More people need to let OBNE into their lives

[@davehardat6508]

WOW... Cool sounds. Thanks, always a pleasure. 😊🙏🏼❤️

[@JakHart]

This has got to be my favorite pedal I've heard you play. It's all over the scifi/fantasy spectrum.

Vapour wavey, delightful sounds and music

[@ingreynelg]

Two words … freaking inspiring!

[@Osmone_Everony]

Wow I have seen a lot of effect pedal videos lately (that's why KZbin recommended this one here for me) and this particular effect pedal is probably the best I have ever heard! 💖

[@NaomiSV]

Such a neat pedal! Amazing demo as always. That first piece you play is particularly beautiful!

[@kannonmcafee]

That was absolutely delicious to my ears. That Sunlight pedal creates great sounds on virtually every setting.

[@mysticswalk3086]

I am in love with this sound!

[@emilyharpist]

[@wanderingfirbolg6738]

When people say I shouldn't use guitar pedals with my bass, I always guide them to discover the amazing world of Emily Hopkins... and they usually shut up after that! :D Love the way you experiment and explain things in your videos! Good stuff!

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you SO much!!! That made me smile :) the world NEEDS more pedals on bass!!!

I am reporting from a family breakfast - kids are totally fine watching this. Stay tuned for further observations.

[@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet]

Very cool! The tone is amazing, and the artwork on the pedal is beautiful. Good artwork on a pedal always makes it sound at least 25% better.

[@emilyharpist]

I agree, good pedal artwork is so important sometimes!! Especially now that there are so many out there, it really helps them stand out 😊 I love OBNE pedals and the art AND sound are always top notch :)

[@J.C...]

I bet that you and Buckethead could make absolutely beautiful music together. He's always down, for making muisc with other incredible musicians like yourself so I wouldn't doubt that he'd be into this. I mean, his music like this on electric guitar is already otherworldly but something like this could take it to a whole 'nother level! 🙏👌👍

[@williamcurwen7428]

Your combination of harp and pedal reminds me of seeing Laraaji out busking on Broadway back in 1985, sitting cross legged playing a hammered dulcimer through an Echoplex tape loop unit; kind of gnarly, shimmery, very ethereal - like a warbler in a gale of sound. Lovely to be able to make the comparison.

[@emilyharpist]

oh WOW, even having Laraaji mentioned in the same paragraph as me, especially in regards to music, is a HUUUUUGE compliment for me. I LOVE his work!!! 🥺❤️ I saw him perform a few years ago and it was one of my best days of my life. thank you so much for making me feel so amazing today!! I'm so, so honored!!

[@williamcurwen7428]

@@emilyharpist haha! I seem to have this effect upon people …… I am a landscape photographer by way of occupation, and it has been a good year creatively.
