Name: Hang and harp improvisation by MarkHarmer
Duration: 4 min 29 s
Description: Recorded in a living-room improv session - it's just an improvisation but there are couple of places where the harp works well with it with certain figures / ways of playing. Just a question of how the balance might work?

The harp at this point uses a Kantele technique- where the harp strings are stopped with the LH fingers and then then RH "strums" past the strings, leaving the free ones to vibrate.

I have lots of video recordings but not many places to put audio-only things. So hopefully this will make things easier!
