An artist project presenting intimate solo harp soundscapes for estuaries, stillness, reading, and working late.

Why it surfaced

The site has an unusually complete little world: rare performances in front parlours and back rooms, close-miked recordings where “the room is part of the sound,” and beliefs such as “Make the room quieter than you found it.” Its solemn Human Authorship certification adds a faintly uncanny institutional flourish to an otherwise tender, carefully made artist identity.
