About the album
When TRPTK granted me carte blanche for this album, I knew precisely what direction to take: to commission new music that pushes the boundaries of the harp and challenges our perceptions of it. In pursuit of this vision, I sought out two exceptionally distinctive composers: Valerio Sannicandro and Tony Roe.
Valerio Sannicandro utilises a plethora of extended techniques, incorporating a diverse range of textures, timbres and voice to create captivating sonic events. Tony Roe, in contrast, working with electronics and devices to expand the harp’s sonic palette and create entirely new sounds. Blending acoustic and electronic elements going into a world of innovative sonic exploration.
Additionally, I carefully selected pieces by renowned composers Kaija Saariaho and Toshio Hosokawa, whose works speak to the essence of this musical exploration.
