Rhodri Davies: Lap harp, transducer, contact microphone, overdrive, volume pedal and two amplifiers 'With crazed virtuosity, Davies plays rapid, unsettled patterns on the strings of a small, cheap harp, through overdriven distortion pedals.

In the days when rock signified a whiff of danger, you could have called this 'rock harp'.

The sound is hellish but engaging: Here is Davies as the drunk / disturbed / blind monk in the Japanese movie, awfully quiet in the corner, till suddenly there's a ghastly blur of action, and the paint is blistering and there's blood on the walls.' Clive Bell, The Wire.
