Hi everybody,
a while ago I posted some of my “1 harp in 2 voices”-vids here. Back then I recorded the music in the usual way with external mics (recording 1st harp, then having the playback on the headphones and recording 2nd harp).
Recently I started doing the recordings with a looper pedal. It is really good fun, and if one wants to play harp music that comes in several voices but hasn’t a second harpist at hand, it is also great for practicing!
For the harp I’m using a contact mic (gear used is in description below the YouTube-Vid). It gives you a very direct, authentic sound which helps me staying in time with myself when recording the 2nd harp.Cheers,
SusanneIn these Videos I use the looper:

just wanted to share my latest effort with the looper (actually it’s not an effort, but fun – although I have to concentrate when playing with a looper pedal…)
It’s a lovely tune with a kind of “springtime” feeling. To me it speaks of hope and enthusiasm, although it is in minor.
Love,
Susanne- This reply was modified 6 years ago by susanne globisch.

just wanted to share this video (hope it gets embedded…) A calm and beautiful middle eastern kind of melody.
Love,
SusanneJuly 5, 2019 at 7:38 am #228670evolene_tParticipantHey Susanne! Really like your compositions, that loop pedal works well!
July 6, 2019 at 7:55 am #228679susanne globischParticipantThanks Evolène, I’m happy you like it!
But I’m just the harpist – these pieces are written by other people than me (by the ones whose names I put in brackets in the videos).
Christoph Pampuch I know personally, Dagmar Hoffmann not yet – but their pieces are just lovely. My contribution is playing & recording them and make a nice video out of it. Which is a lot of fun!Just in case you are interested in the sheet music, here’s some links:

SusanneJuly 7, 2019 at 4:34 pm #228693emma-grahamParticipantThanks so much for posting these. I’m another huge fan of playing with the looper but I’m no composer! I’ve done a couple of simple arrangements of folk and pop but I’m always looking for new things to play using it. I’ll be looking at buying the music. 😃
You might like to check out Eleanor Turner’s Alice in Escher’s Wonderland. This is my version on pedal harp but Eleanor has a video of it on YouTube too on the DHC. I’m sure she would provide the sheet music if you were interested.

Love,
SusanneSeptember 14, 2019 at 3:26 pm #230460susanne globischParticipantHi dear fellow harpists,
it’s been a while since I last uploaded a video, but yesterday I had a creative flash and recorded this. The music is mainly improvised and played with a looper pedal again (you can see it in the beginning of the video in the top left corner, but only faintly). Since I sometimes go diving, I still had some footage of a wreck dive I did last year in the Island of Krk, Croatia. I tried to play “pre-existing” tunes to the footage, but somehow it didn’t really work for me – it seemed to call for something less defined, dream-like and fluent. So this is what I came up with.
Enjoy and have a nice weekend,
yours,
Susanne(hope embedding the vid works – I always forget how it’s done…)
December 25, 2019 at 7:07 am #238959susanne globischParticipantMerry Christmas everyone!
This year’s Christmas harp video is a traditional german Christmas song. The pictures are taken at the church “Obere Pfarre” in Bamberg, where this nativity scene is displayed, every year in a slightly different setup. It’s very old (goes back to at least 1783).
Enjoy and have nice holidays! -
