Making Harp Music MP3s

To help improve access and navigation round the site we have developed pages that focus on the contribution of instruments used in different arrangements. Steel drums form the backbone of all the arrangements but in every case they are combined with at least one other instrument and this page highlights where for this download music, Harp makes a really strong contribution.

The Harp can provide sustained notes but its real strengths are in the arpeggios and glissandos and so we have tried to include it where those strengths are highlighted. It is fairly heavy on processing power but it has been possible to associate it with vibraphone and or flying sine synthesizer as well as the steel drums to make some exiting harp music mp3s.

The synthesized harp models that have been selected for use in this way include the Celtic, Spanish and wire for the relevant balance of tone and sustain which they offer. Together they make an interesting set of harp music files for download.

Adding to the collection or ...

There are more opportunities to add to this collection but we think that it is now time to make some additional payment options available. For low cost items, credit card transactions are rather expensive so we will need to trade the benefits to us of larger orders against a premium for individual track purchases. This means adding shopping cart facilities along side the simple BitPass functionality and is going to be a bit of a programming challenge. More of this anon - in the mean time here is another Brandenburg Concerto LoFi streaming sample - first movement of No3 from Johann Sebastian Bach himself and our arrangement on steel drums and marimba - full HiFi track only 0.99$(US).

Persistance does it It is now 15 years since this website was launched. In that time we have had ups and downs - some associated with Google algorithm changes but this year we seem to have seen steady growth in visits and some dramatic download volumes. It looks as if we might reach 1000 giga bytes of download this month for the first time ever.  Our global reach is wider - although Indonesia and India still account for over 25% of visits we had visits from 126 countries in the last week exceptions include Uragauy and some sub sahara countries. The bulk come through organic Google searches with the next largest share coming from our daily tweets.

Shop Re-opens

The PHP upgrade on my server precipitated closure of the shop for a couple of weeks but I finally found the time to work through the backlog of OS Commerce upgrades that I had been putting off and Lo and Behold the shop is working again. I still need to do a bit of testing on the shopping cart arithmetic and make sure that the downloading is still working properly after the changes I have made. I'll also have a look at the recent contributions to see if there are any other improvements I should be making. In the mean time there has been another surge of Ranking changes on Google as reported on Rankpulse and it is evident that our rankings continue to swing around on a daily basis but our overall position and visitor numbers seem pretty stable - even the shop closure didn't seem to have much of an impact.
