Ground Zero (1985)

The Celestial Harp is an innovative new musical instrument.

These are some of the earliest recordings on the Celestial Harp. They were mostly done in 1985! They were recorded onto 1/2 inch reel to reel format, and eventually converted into the digital used here. The tuning system was experimental and a work in progress.
The focus of these recordings was to present various techniques of playing.
