Iasos was, by most accounts, one of the originators of New Age music.
Iasos was one of the originators of New Age music.
I had the privilege of working with him in [modernizing his Golden Harp](https://chinenual.com#iasoss-golden-harp) (it originally relied on software running on a Commodore64; I replaced that with a small Arduino based controller.) The harp is a unique instrument that used the chicklet strips on a Colortone Pro music keyboard. Iasos would strum those strips like a harp. (he used several dozen scales (though never simple "church scales"); each had a different musical and emotional effect in his music).

There really is nothing currently available to replicate what his harp could do. The closest you might get is a ribbon controller or iPad and some specialized software.
