The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel) has long been a very powerful and emotional song for us. We also loved the Disturbed version when we first heard it a few years ago. However, we based our complex and challenging arrangement on the original song that Paul Simon wrote in the 60s. Our biggest challenge was creating variety in the verses so that the listener could “hear” the lyrics, even though this is an instrumental harp duet version. We also wanted to create the “build” in the music that makes the song so emotional. This video has several “firsts” for us: first nighttime video, and first fully black and white video! We have been hesitant to release a video in fully black and white because we don’t like making artistic choices arbitrarily. To us, black and white emphasizes emotion, contrast, and evokes as sense of timelessness. Although the original song was written over 50 years ago, the message still remains the same.
This video was filmed by our mom on our phone. Everything you hear in our arrangement is exactly how we perform it live with our 2 harps: no backing tracks, loops, or harp overlays. Please let us know if you enjoyed “The Sound of Silence” by liking the video, favoriting, leaving a comment, and sharing it with your friends. We will continue to go where no harps have gone before! Please subscribe and stay tuned for more of our radical Duet Harp Revolution!
Single coming soon to iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon MP3, Spotify, Google Play, and CDBaby! Check back for links.
