Lauren's Harp
​
I once visited two dear friends in Oregon. They took me to the street market in Portland for an afternoon of bedazzlement. I ate great food and saw a lot of artisan soap and candles that I enjoyed looking at (but didn't buy). We were preparing to explore "one more row" of vendors when I saw a harp...
​
My life was changed that day. I put a down payment on what would become my harp, which I received in the mail several months later. It was custom built for me and I named it "Calabi-Yau" after the scientists who apparently first described what is called 'string theory.'
There's a massive pun in all this and it makes me happy!
​
ANYWAY... I started recording videos of myself playing, some examples of which are posted here. You can find more on YouTube.
I think it's fair to tell my viewers/listeners that I don't ACTUALLY know how to play the harp... but I certainly know how to CHANNEL music through the harp. Just don't ask me to play the same thing twice, and we're good...
​
It's important to never forget where you came from...
​
Twinkle, twinkle, little harp ... pluck the strings and time will warp...
