[Harp-L] Creating a solo act..

[mark wilson <markwilson53@xxxxxxx>]

I've had a really hard time getting it together with other musicians,  
mainly because I don't sing.  Since I don't sing, I don't have any
real power or influence in band situations, so I wind up being at the  
mercy of other musicians.  More often than not, it's a guitar player
who plays too much and too loud.  I bought a big amp, and a set of  
musicians ear plugs, and gritted it out with these guys for a while.
About 4 months ago, I got fed up and completely checked out of the  
whole scene.

Lately, I've been working out with a loop station, trying to put some  
solo material together.  I'm in the early stages, but I see huge  
potential
with this technology.  With a few harps, your voice, and some noise  
makers, you can lay down a massive wall of sound.  In essence, you
can create your own band on the fly, and never have to worry about  
other musicians again.

Here's a youtube clip of me building a song from scratch, using 4  
harps, a couple of noisemakers, a mic, a keyboard amp, and that's it.

If anyone else on harp-l is using a loop station, please contact me.
