Christmas messing about

I'm messing about with a laptop, free recording software, rubbish mic and my old harp, recording stuff trying out ideas, listening back. Very handy. This helps me to review - feel how what I arrange feels to a listener. Very useful.

I think when you're playing a melodic tradition on the harp and intending to stick within that, your main arrangement options involve ow thick you make your melody - where you place accent notes, do you add harmony lines. What makes the melody suddenly engaging, what makes it suddenly float?

Definitely fun for post-Christmas work. I might even stick some up if I like them.
