"Flying" - Fractal Harp Rig - Matt Spencer on Drums

This piece features some amazing drumming from Matt Spencer. I'm really honored to have him lend his talent here and hope to work with him more in the future. I don't explain refinements to my crazy Fractal Harp rig much when I post stuff I do but I thought I might give it a try. There's a lot going on here. The main (attached) harp here features my stock pivoting slide that controls the relative pitch of all of the strings on the instrument. The harp also has a string tension/bend pedal that independently bends the pitch of certain strings in varying increments like that of a standard pedal steel guitar. Each string also has it's own independent MIDI trigger while sensors embedded in the slide and bend pedal allow the MIDI output to mirror the actual pitch of each string. My right foot is planted on the string tension pedal that also doubles as a MIDI bend pedal and locks with the effected strings outputs mirroring it's function to MIDI. My left foot simultaneously controls a separate MIDI sustain pedal that determines all the harp notes' duration functioning like a piano's sustain pedal. I've built upon these MIDI functions recently and set up the outputs into multi-timbrel and instantly switchable tuning schemes. This enables multiple harmonized MIDI voices per string that function across the harps entire range. These control several instruments sounds stacked in separate turnings and synchronous harmony. This setup provides the ability to spontaneously emit rapid phrases from harp sweeps utilizing the ability to set various MIDI voices in legato/mono modes. These are illustrated with rapid bass, guitar and piano like phrases created by sweeps across the harp and demonstrated here in this video. Another sleazy development here is that the root relative tonality of the harp string pitches can now be dictated from the bass guitar (with and beyond the pivoting slide). The customized old Peavey Midibase MIDI capable bass features my side string thumb clutch system I'm continuing to develop. When the thumb string is squeezed and pressed against the metal contact on the side of the neck, it acts as a clutch expanding the capability of notes simultaneously played on other bass strings. In the video here, I'm triggering simple, big stupid tonic power chords using the bass clutch WHILE dictating that same root key tonality to the entire harp. You can get an idea of what I'm describing by watching the crazy chromatic sections of the piece or following it's relatively basic chord structure and seeing how clutched bass notes cause harp phrases travel through various root turnings. The harp on the left used in some sections of the tune here is my famous/original/classic Fractal Harp with a similar hybrid MIDI expansion added. It functions mostly like the main harp described above, but it's relative string pitch is dictated entirely by the pivoting slide (independently of the bass guitar). This harp features a solid maple body and telecaster pickups. It shares the same pedal system with split pedal functionality accommodating both harps. The high pitch melodic/lead sound here is sung "howled" and performed in tandem with the harp and bass. The headset mic picks up my vocal and routed into a real-time pitch to MIDI converter. This allows me to sing feedback and guitar sounds on the fly that I've developed over the years. All the non-organic(MIDI triggered) sounds you hear produced by the devices I'm playing in this video are all coming from custom instruments I've created in a software program called Kontakt made by Native Instruments.
