I’ve been working on new music lately (new EP hits Bandcamp August 25th!) and this is one song Im wanting revisit and record again called “Starlight” I only released on BC because it just wasn’t what I’d hoped it could be and I’ve learned enough to release a better version I actually like. What other songs would you like to hear a new version of at some point?
There’s 3 songs on this EP that all follow in the same vein as my D&D album I released back in December and after that I’ll be releasing music for fun, if I like it then I’ll release it.
There’s so many songs I’ve forgotten how to play over time that I’ve also been trying to figure out again. Quite a few were written in a state of hyperfocus where I’d recorded 4-5 songs in one day that I actually liked so my actual memory of writing a few are hazy at best after 4 years.
But here’s to new music and more updates soon!

I accidentally deleted this link recently and had to rebuild it so for now some streaming links for music are missing until I can get into certain artist accounts again. 🖤

Ah, the Ice Cavern stage, nice

I think you should get out ahead of it and just make a cover of Darude - Sandstorm so that dumb shitheads like me aren’t tempted to ask for it.
SursieMetzger
Honestly that would be the greatest feat ever lmao I’d do it just to make people go “But why?!” 😂

I listen to the same music every morning and I immediately recognized it when I saw the thumbnail on the usersub lol /gallery/evening-spookiness-2-0-J8WDStr

Ooooooo I loved this one!
SursieMetzger
Grateful you enjoyed it 🖤 Going to definitely re record this if more people are interested ✨
SnarfyMcSnarferson
Glad you're still at it, good sounding as always. I'm still patiently waiting to hear some elder scrolls music. *cough* minstrel's lament.
SursieMetzger
There’s honestly a laundry list of songs I’ve wanted and been asked to do lol but as of the last few months I couldn’t even be bothered to play my own music for awhile. For a time it worried me but so much had happened at one time that I just had to accept there were some things needed to take a proverbial back seat for a minute. So Im slowly inching my way back into it again. Also my laptop being old and not meant for music hasn’t helped my progress 😂

Sounds a lot like music in some fantasy games (Age of Wonders series specifically)!
SursieMetzger
Since all of my music is Fantasy based, I’ve gotten quite alot of comparisons over the last 4 years but I don’t think I’ve gotten this one before! ✨

Doesn't threading the LED light chain affect the sound because it shortens the wavelength on every string?
SursieMetzger
No it doesn’t impact sound at all. The company that builds these harps used to install them as part of the order if you requested it when they built your harp but sadly it’s not a service they offer anymore so when it comes time to replace them, as long as the lights don’t touch the strings there’s no interference. You just follow the under and inner part of the bridge and follow down the soundboard to the lowest string then attach a USB pack to the side with Velcro.

Sursie in Usersub? Today is my day!

Hey hey! 🖤

How long does it take to tune a harp?
SursieMetzger
Depends on how old and how big it is. Usually this one takes less than 3 minutes if it’s not been super hot upstairs and messed with the wood. If a harp is new, it’ll arrive TOTALLY out of tune and I tune new harps 3-4 times a day which takes around 6 minutes each time to help it hold faster so instead of taking weeks, it takes a few days to hold tune better. But a lot of things can throw it out of wack such as weather changes like any wooden instrument.
SursieMetzger
Also your strings being new or old can impact how long it takes too. Usually strings only need to be changed every few years unless you play and travel ALOT so thankfully once they’re stretched enough, you don’t have much to worry about.
Blasfemur
Very cool info. Thank you!
TheMagicOfTacoCatScience
Woohoo yeah, the lights are back, hella fire! Also, looove Starlight! Would love to hear a new rendition/recording of it! Glad to see, and hear, you're doing rad! Keep on rockin! ♡
SursieMetzger
Thank you thank you love, definitely looking forward to seeing how I can improve the sound of it moving forward! 🖤

Bro that sweater looks comfy as fuuuuuck
SursieMetzger
It is! I randomly just found it too one day. Idk if someone left it at our old house but I feel like the happiest fluffy sheep lol

I'm jelly
SursieMetzger
I was really shocked given how my texture sensitive ass hates the way so many things feel. But this is definitely a favorite. Only downside is EVERYTHING sticks to it lol
CptRobotNinja
It does look a touch...adhesive

Hey hun! Good to see you doing your thing; it's amazing as always! Hope you're doing well. 😁❤️ +1 updoot, wish it was more!
SursieMetzger
Hey hey my friend! Yep Im doing my best out here, glad to see you! ✨

Adding LEDs is getting a bit over done but this implementation goes pretty hard.

Even when the world is covered 100% in RGB lighting, there will not be enough RGB lighting!
SursieMetzger
I have an RGB plan for my bedroom soon so I can avoid using the god awful overhead light as much lol It’ll take time tho but also make filming more fun again like my old studio.
SursieMetzger
Here’s another post I’ve done on the topic

Functional and aesthetic, very nice. You play beautifully.
SursieMetzger
Well aside from being a crowd favorite it’s actually a necessity for me in low light areas due to being partially blind. It’s not all aesthetics.
MRDOne
Hey Susie. I will check it out. Bandcamp still yeah? Like this one time...
SursieMetzger
Yep still on Bandcamp under “Starlight”! ✨ I’ll have a new version out hopefully before the end of the year.

That's got all your socials except for fetlife 😆
SursieMetzger
Nah FetLife isn’t my vibe to be honest. I’ve stayed away from there for YEARS after knowing enough people who’ve had more bad experiences than good. I also don’t touch Twitter or Reddit but for VERY different reasons lol
nanyatenyaa
I think i'd find LEDs built into my instruments pretty distracting... but who knows... maybe you tune it out after awhile.
SursieMetzger
For me as someone who’s partially blind it’s more a necessity in low light places.
/gallery/ZRiYGL0
Now if they were to blink, strobe or whatever yea it’s distracting AF but to be honest who wouldn’t that bother? lol So just keeping them static and using the remote to adjust the brightness as needed, there’s usually no issues. Tho these lights need to be replaced something fierce because they’re ooooold.

Wish I could afford a harp...
SursieMetzger
They’re actually a lot more affordable now than they used to be for sure! The company I’ve used for nearly 10 years has harps that start out at around $550 USD before shipping but they often have discounted harps that have small imperfections from the build that don’t impact quality or sound but they don’t feel comfortable charging full price for and they can range from $400 and up depending on the harp. There’s also high quality Cardboard harp kits that start at around $185.
SursieMetzger
Also looking at used harps to rent is a good option for a lot of people because there are rent to own places around the world now. In the US you can rent a lever harp from most stores starting at around $75 a month after a downpayment for so many months. Later on you can choose to buy it out right or trade it in for another harp to rent. Hope this all helps 🖤

Can I please ask you to make like a hour looped or an hour version of this for sleep?? There is something unreal and soothing about the certain sound you got here!! Amazing
SursieMetzger
It’s possible for sure! There’s a few songs I’d like to turn into looped versions if I knew people would enjoy them 🖤
G0MeatCube
Do it. Maybe throw a youtube channel up and a paetreon to donate too cuz talent is talent and you got it

I have a YT and a Patreon. YT is linked in my comment here and I’m still working on getting content on Patreon because I recently didn’t an overhaul.
