For as long as we can remember, we have wanted to create an arrangement where we would both play on the same harp, at the same time. However, we didn’t want to arbitrarily choose a song, so we put it on the back-burner. One day C went up to K and said “I know what song we should play on one harp!” K immediately replied: “One!” So we knew it was meant to be. 😀 😀 We started working on the logistics – which ended up being more complicated than we expected. K had to learn how to play backwards (quite a mind teaser) and C had to figure out how to change the pedals for BOTH of our completely different parts. (The pedals change the pitches of the strings – allowing us to change keys or get accidentals) We wanted to utilize the soundboard for percussion, so we started incorporating percussion into C’s part. We wanted to create some percussion for K’s part, but because she was playing backward, she couldn’t reach the soundboard with her hands. So, we invented the technique of kicking the harp with the instep of the foot. People are often concerned that we’re damaging the harp, but the harp is much stronger than our feet! (Even though we’re 3rd degree black belts in Tae Kwon Do!) K actually split her foot open while rehearsing this piece and we didn’t notice until there was blood streaming down the soundboard of the harp. Drawing blood made our interpretation even more metal, though. 😉 😉 It was fun to invent new ways to play the harp for this arrangement. We are literally re-inventing our instrument! We LOVE playing this arrangement at our live shows. And yes, what we’re playing in the video and what you’re hearing is real. Audio Recording = No recording studio. No loops, overlays, or backtracks. Just 1 harp — 1 audio take!

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS Please also click "read more" :
Q. Why did you use only one harp?
A. As an homage to the title of the song!! ONE was a top request. So we decided to arrange it on only 1 harp and create both a musical and a performance piece. For our other videos we are each playing a harp.
Q. Why do you kick the harp?
A. ONE is an intense, emotional, and disturbing song. We wanted to find a way to get as much sound with as much variance as possible – with only 1 harp – an instrument people usually associate with peace and relaxation. Covering a song that was originally played by an entire band, on just one harp and making it sound full and rocking was a huge challenge. We wanted to include percussion elements that are so important in the original so slapping, drumming, and tapping made sense. The player on the "wrong" end of the harp could not reach the sound board with her hands, so we invented the idea of kicking the harp – using her instep (the top of the foot, NOT the toes) ! She removed her shoe so she would not scuff the wood on the harp.
Q. Did it hurt her foot/toes?
A. No, not by the time we filmed the video. Kennerly did not use her toes. She used her "instep", the top of her foot. Kennerly split her foot open when we were arranging and learning this… we had to clean blood off the soundboard. But, by the time we created our video Kennerly’s foot had become very tough and it was/is no longer painful. She also removed her shoe so that she would not scuff the wood.
Q. Why do you look at each other while you are playing?
A. We are a real life instrumental duet – not just a YouTube collab. We look at each other for timing, to signal (cue) each other, and because we’re enjoying the music. 🙂 🙂 We do not use a drummer or backtrack to keep us "together" with our completely different harp parts.
Q. Why are you SO intense when you are playing?
A. We are "into/feeling" the music! It takes a LOT of work, concentration, and intensity to play our harp duet arrangement the way that we do with Kennerly backward, balancing on one leg, while Camille operates the 7 pedals (each with 3 possible positions) for the key changes for both of our completely different harp parts, plus rapping, kicking, switching sides, etc., but we had a blast inventing new ways to play the harp!
Q. What do the pedals do?
A. The pedals change the pitch of the strings. There are 7 pedals, one for each note of the C scale. Every one of our 47 strings can be three different pitches (flat, natural, sharp) because we move each pedal into 3 different levels while we are playing. For this arrangement Camille was operating the pedals for BOTH of our completely different harps parts while Kennerly was playing backwards standing on one leg. 🙂 🙂
Q. How do you make your videos and get the sound?
A. This is a self-made music video. We do not record in a studio. We are always really playing (and singing when we sing) when we film, that is how we are able to stay together. 🙂 🙂 Our videos are self-made samples of music we arranged ourselves for concert performances. Our videos are only our 2 harp parts – but No backing track, No Karaoke, No loops, No harp overlays, No studio, No crew, No director, No videographer, No producer, etc. – just the 2 of us doing everything ourselves! However, like anyone making a "music video," we do not use the sound we recorded through the phone held by our mom or our little camera. There is always too much ambient and environmental noise outdoors (wind, birds, people, dogs, planes, etc.) plus filming from different directions and distances. We record ourselves LIVE playing together (at the same time) in our living room and add that sound to the edited video footage. 🙂 🙂
Q. Why so many cuts?
A. This is our ONLY video like this. ONE is an intense, emotional, and disturbing song. We deliberately chose to show as much of possible of all the different sounds we were creating for reality and interest. We think it is still less unsettling than most video games as well as the original video. 😉 😉 If it is too intense for you we have over 140 other videos for you to enjoy.
Q. Do you play other harps and other styles of music?
A. We also play smaller electric lever harps and smaller acoustic lever harps. We cross styles, genres, and decades from rock and metal to Celtic, Soundtrack, Classical, Sacred, Folk, original Nordic Fantasy songs, and more. We will continue to go where no harps have gone before with our radical duet harp revolution! If you are looking for a particular song, style, or genre, we have created playlists here: https://youtube.com/c/CamilleandKennerly/playlists Please listen with headphones
Q. Can I see you perform?
A. We do not make our living on YouTube. We are duet harpists in our "real" lives. https://www.harptwins.com/shows If you are interested in more info, you can also sign up for our E-NEWSLETTER: https://harptwins.com/newsletter We also have live online concerts are available to our "HarpTwins Backstage" fan club tier: https://patreon.com/HarpTwins Our online home shows are interactive, comedic, we answer questions, and each home online concert has different songs.
Q. Can I purchase your music?
A. Our harp duets are available world-wide. The sound is superior to the compressed sound that YouTube gives us. We have released 8 physical CDs. The sound is superior to the compressed sound that YouTube allows us. Autographed Albums and Posters, Original Comic Books, T-shirts, Hats, and more: https://camilleandkennerly.bigcartel.com/products Streaming, download, and additional purchase links are under every video and on our channel "about" tab.

One of Metallica's finest! Most people didn't realize how involved and complex the score is. Also, I think, the twins are mentally connected.

Do more harp playing with hands and feet d soon
What are the pedals used for?
In the same vein as my previous comment, what are the toggles used for on your electric harps? Sorry if I sound stupid but I'd like to know.
Excellent song and performance from you two 🎉❤😊
Do you practice with a mirror?
