Angelic Harp with Erin Hill

Featured story

Erin Hill demonstrates the versatility of the electro harp

Erin Hill’s wide range of styles includes pop, rock, jazz, country, opera, and Celtic/Irish. She has played the harp and sung with Cyndi Lauper, Kanye West, Enya, moby, Sinead O’Connor, a-ha, Josh Groban, Jewel, and for Carl Icahn, Randy Newman, Bill Murray, Serena Williams, two First Ladies, and for royalty. She’s played solo at The Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, and is known as The Pretty White Girl from Comedy Central’s Chappelle’s Show. She’s also had a number one album on the Billboard world chart and has enjoyed a successful acting career.

For this pack, Hill played an electro-acoustic pedal harp. With seven pedals, each string has its own individual pickup and can be three different pitches depending on where she moves its respective pedals. She’s excited to see how these samples are worked into songs and maybe even inspire new productions.

This sample pack was recorded at the Bridge Studio in Brooklyn, NY with Soyuz SU011M mics through Neve 1073 preamps.
