I didn’t go all the way into it cuz it’s complicated, but basically, the strings are 7 notes repeating in octaves, forming several octaves worth of scales. But then there are foot pedals for each string and you can move each one up or down to make it a half step higher or lower, or put it back in the middle - but seeing a traditional harpist perform, they’re making those adjustments before playing often, or while playing but minor adjustments. So what Dorothy Ashby Is doing is crazy!

Fire! Thank you for introducing me to Dorothy Ashby! This is this first time in hearing her and it’s incredible

My man! Thank you for the harp explanation, I honestly had no idea how it works lol. This was such an incredible video BShaw, you should be really proud of this one 🔥

I was hoping you'd mention how the group worked with a speech pathologist for the video so that their mouths were forming the correct shapes for their words when played "forward" for the playback.
