And... breathe. I'm proud to present my solo from The Glass Bead Game, the final track from Plini's second album, Impulse Voices. When I listened to the track for the first time earlier in the year, I basically just burst into tears when I got to the section that would become my solo. It was just a bit overwhelming to suddenly sit there listening to this fantastic music and think, "I get to do this."

And then I got to work and wrote this solo, which features lots of harmonics (probably my favourite thing in the world), including a block of several bars entirely in harmonics (peak favourite thing to play!), and I hope you like it. I put everything I had into it.

I played a Salvi Rainbow electroacoustic, loaned by Salvi Music London for this recording - big thanks to them for making that possible.

Huge thanks to @simongrove for mixing this so expertly. The whole album sounds absolutely massive, and the harp shimmers within it. And thanks again to Plini for this incredible opportunity. I am so grateful to have had the chance to work on this.

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART. It makes me cry every time, and this video made me cry harder, it just gives me HEAVY feels :') Miss, your solo opened a whole can of worms of imagination in my brain and you have no idea how much the impact of this melody has made for me! Thank you for your existence!

[HectorRodriguez-music]

Wow! What an extraordinary pleasure of hearing THIS part of my favorite Plini song! This gave a heavenly touch! Brava Amy!!! 👏👏👏👏

[JuliaKMusic]

This is what I want my entrance to the afterlife to sound like.

Amy, when IV dropped, I listened to this section over and over struggling to figure out how on earth Plini made these gorgeous sparkling sounds on a
and just learned from YouTube it was YOU! That syncopated section at 0:32 gets me every time. A heavenly beautiful solo! More Please!

[Batrick]

Beautiful addition to the song. Really brought the whole piece together with a soft melodic bridge like this. Great work :)

[EchreCont]

Wow that solo is breath taking. It's funny because while I was listening to that song and commenting it with a friend I said something like: "that harp part sounds soo good. It really adds alot to the whole song".

When I said that it was on pure sound recognition instinct. So now I'm here after some google searches because I realized that 'holy shit that epic solo was done on an harp"

I needed to know who did it. Now I have a list full of harp song/covers to listen to.

Thank you

[janedoe]

OMG! Harmonics, top high notes and speed! Amazing!!

[travisnorman]

That's the most beautiful harp I've ever seen. Great solo, Amy! Such precision! That sounded like a prog rock guitar solo, very technical, very impressive!
🤘🏼🤯🤘🏼

[djsteink]

This is hands-down my favorite part of the album—gives me chills every time I hear it. Absolutely phenomenal work!

[samuelsfelix]

Amazing harp skills, thanks for sharing!

[nghiat.nguyen]

Your solo is my favorite part of the song. Amazing!

[carveking]

Simply amazing. 0:40-0:45 is my favorite part.

[mrjr]

Amazing how life works! You were recognized in his solo contest a few months ago, and he was so impressed he chose you to write this solo. That’s awesome!

[LoneTreePeak]

Haha that manual slow mo at the end was a nice touch. Excellent playing.

[MJ-vdbj]

Definitely one of my favorite moments on the album

[SM-sohh]

That harp is so beautiful. It's my dream harp and you play amazingly ❤

[Oldthesis]

Wow, I'm incredibly happy to see you on one of the best prog acts currently going. My daughter and I had a wonderful time going through your back catalog on YouTube a few weeks ago. Keep up the beautiful playing.
