Re: [Harp-L] New Brendan Power CD on YouTube

Brendan - 

Very nice, and I'm looking forward to the CD with PT (and seeing your show together at SPAH) - what a combination!

Watching the Youtube vid, I couldn't help noticing your right hand - in between operating the slide with your index finger, you tap on the comb of the harp with your other fingers. I'm wondering if this is a conscious activity, and whether it helps you in some way rhythmically.

By, the way, it's apparent that while you're playing the newest Suzuki chromatic, your particular instrument is not in standard solo tuning like the stock model. It seems to be tuned like a diatonic in D, half-valved (of course!) with perhaps some of the slide-in notes raised in pitch to provide useful ornaments, yes?

Hi all, 
 
in January I recorded two new CDs: a duet album with PT Gazell that will
be released soon, and a solo album with Candyrat Records. Candyrat
promote their albums on YouTube, and the first video has gone up:

It's a set of Irish reels played on a prototype of Suzuki's new
Fabulous
chromatic. Hope you like it!
 
Cheers,

Brendan
