What a Show at the VA Harmonicafest
I played my second solo electric show, and the first using prerecorded loops on the looper, at the Virginia Harmonicafest last night. It was also my first live show with my new amped setup, which includes three Digitech RPs, two in parallel, one at the…
Video of the Day Feb. 27 2011 part 1: Richard Hunter, Chris Michalek, and Brendan Power in a Psychedelic Jam at SPAH 2009
Chris and me on harmonicas, Brendan doing a lot of percussion. There’s some great stuff in here, but Chris and me could not stay connected on the grooves–I think that’s why Brendan started doing the beatboxing thing. Brendan and I had two interesting things happening…

As people who’ve been visiting this site regularly know, I’ve been working on some heavy metal sounds for harp, sometimes using multiple Digitech RP devices running in series and/or parallel. I made a couple of brief recordings that show where the new sounds are going….
