What is a Harp Escape? And why now?

The world is full of static and noise, subliminal, and actual. Online. Offline. In our minds and in our streets. Garbage trucks and jackhammers. Nagging conversations and bills. Deadlines and confrontations.

Harp Escape is a respite from the chaos. It is an online aural get-away.

Twice a month, I will bring you new music videos from my harp studio. This music will be played with intention for a relaxing moment, for you to take a break from the demands of your life and breath deeply, while listening to the healing sounds of the harp’s vibrations.

As a Certified Clinical Musician, I have studied how certain intervals, musical modes, and tempos can have a particularly soothing effect. I will merge this ancient healing knowledge with my skills as a life-long musician and harpist of 25 years. I am a songwriter, an improviser, and I will be arranging particular songs for the intent of a healing Harp Escape.

Sound is vibration. Sound vibrates water. Humans are composed of 75% water. Therefore, we too vibrate from the sounds in and around us. Because there is so much stress and noise in our modern world, I feel it is imperative right now to pay attention to the sounds around us.

Harp Escape is an online place to relax. A virtual experience of the harp cannot take the place of a live session, but in this way, I will be able to reach more people.

Our eyes have lids, but our ears do not. We have no way to say “no” to displeasing sounds; therefore, it is essential that we become aware of when our world is too noisy and too stressful. It is important for our good health that we contrast the harmful sounds with pleasing ones, because they will relax us. Through relaxation we can unwind our nerves and return to a healthy homeostatis.

As I begin this journey of bringing you new calming arrangements of harp music, my goals are:

• Upload videos twice per month
• Share themes, chosen either by me or by you
• Offer sheet music arrangements of particular songs
• Create special “extra” videos for Patreon donors
• Invite guest musicians (instrumentalists and singers)

Of my recent album, Braids of Kabuya, performed under my band name, The Daphnes, I have received heart-centered response:

“My eyes, my mind, and my heart are far happier having discovered this gem.”

Perhaps your next lunch break can be spent on a Harp Escape. Listen with headphones if you can. Starting in Spring 2019, I am here for you.
