  • Rob Scallon came to my studio. He used crab gloves to play harp, screamed into the sound holes, and made the harps fart.

      Ngl, in that bit of "harp vocals, maybe?" I wonder what whistling with the effects would sound like with the harp. It probably would've been really cool layering

      By screaming into a harp you guys basically made a Sigur Ros song, so that's really cool

    I've been a big fan of Rob's for a long time, and the collab makes so much sense that I have no idea why I was surprised it happened.

      Now this may be a little cheesy and cliché, but... dance like nobody's watching, sing like nobody's listening, love like you've never been hurt. Grab life with both hands and hang on.
      Be the first to laugh when you find something funny or clap when you find something entertaining; others will probably laugh and clap along with you. If they don't, perhaps you might feel embarrassed. Maybe that love will end up hurting you in some way. But you'll get over these things, and doing so will improve your self-confidence, and your future self will look back to your present self and give thanks that you didn't let the fear of a little embarrassment or emotional pain prevent you from living life to the fullest.
      So yeah... never be afraid to try new things, even if you might look a bit silly doing so. Cheers. ;)

    Hi your harp playing radically blew my mind , and greatly inspired me to play the harp, I was very touched and blessed by ur music thanks very much, I think it’s very cool you are using pedals for a harp because the possibilities are endless, I grew up playing guitar but now I want a harp, it’s interesting I was listening to these famous super talented artists in interviews and I noticed there would be this one moment or one song song that would inspire them and it had such a profound effect on their life and would in essence change their destiny I felt like maybe u did this for me, imagine like Jimi Hendrix or someone hearing a beautiful song for the first time and thinking wow I want to do that and it begins

    Ok, so full disclosure... I had a really shitty day... This completely changed my day for the better. I’m saving this video under mental therapy.

    All the convergent evolution stuff is really true, then. Even harpists evolve into crabs.
