Harp – SF-12, SF-1

Engineers: John Richards and Travis Dickerson.
Recorded at Travis Dickerson Recording Studios, Chatsworth, CA

One SF-12 and two SF-1ʼs on the harp. Recorded through console preamps to Pro Tools.

In Royer’s early days, we asked world-class session harpist Gayle Levant if she would record a song for us for demonstration purposes. She sent a beautiful harp to a local studio, met us there with her husband John Richards, sound checked, and then recorded this beautiful piece of music in one take. Gayle’s talents are matched only by her wonderful personality and generosity.
