The Erratic Remix of Emily Hopkins Harp

Here is my full entry for the Emily Hopkins Harp Remix contest that took place yesterday, 10-5-22. I went full ambient with it. Here’s the rundown of what I did:
Started with two separate drone fade ins on the OBNE Dark Star and EHX Freeze. These are both going through the EHX Pitch Fork in detune mode, full mix.
Then I fade in a harp loop on the Montreal Assembly CT5 in mode 2. This loop is pitched down an octave and has full random engaged. Kinda like how this begins to sound like broken piano.
I add a little reverb and a stretched harp loop (basically a subtle reverb pad) with the Chase Bliss Mood, and some delay with the Mattoverse Warble Swell Echo MKII.
Fade in a reverse loop of the full harp recording from the MXR Clone Looper.
I then fade in the intro melody loop I had sampled in the Chase Bliss Blooper. I have this chewed up with the stability knob and on a repeating chopped pattern.
I have the OBNE Eq/Buffer on everything except the Blooper, to help cut a little low end and boost the mids and highs.
I love how this piece came together. It’s so peaceful and at the same time has a bit of tension. I have always wanted to play along with Emily, so this was an honor to put together.
Like most everything I do, this was recorded direct into my iPhone through a UAudio Volt 2. My phone was resting on a Wish Klon Klone because that’s about all I use it for.
I hope for more contests like this soon! I mean, seriously, did you see the submissions?? So so so much talent out there to be discovered!!
I can’t thank Emily and Russ enough for putting this on and pulling such a long day on their stream!!! Thank you both!! You do great things!
As always, thanks for watching, and stay weird!!
