Message from the Artist

The harp is one of the most beautiful and versatile musical instruments. Every culture and age has produced its own version giving a rich diversity of sound and style. My aim, through my music, is to illustrate the wonder of this instrument. On my albums "Romantic Harp" and "Classical Harp" for example, I play a full sized concert harp to produce a lush and romantic classical sound. But for contrast "Medieval Harp" features a wire strung harp with a more percussive sound, and the "Celtic Christmas Harp" album a Clarsach or Irish harp, which is gentle and traditional. My album "Homage" was dedicated to Tansen, the greatest musician of the 16th century court of the Indian King Akabar. For this I went many times to India to find an authentic Indian harp called the Santoor. This harp, played with wooden hammers, and combined with the sitar and Indian flute illustrates the amazing diversity of the harp, compared with any of the other albums.

Most recently I was inspired by the Chinese Harp - known as a Cheng - which led me to produce my "Silk and Bamboo" album. For this I combined the melody of the Chinese and Western harp with the beautiful bamboo flute playing of Tim Wheater, to conjure up the mystical quality of ancient China. On the album I mixed the sounds of modern and ancient instruments to produce a new and fascinating oriental blend of music.

I am currently working on music from South America, this time featuring the unusual sound of the Peruvian Harp and many other ethnic instruments from the region. This album will combine the Spanish feel of South American music with the 'other worldliness' of the High Andes and Inca sites. These have a magical atmosphere of quiet contemplation, which I hope will be conveyed through my music to leave listeners with a feeling of inner peace and calm.

艺人的话

    竖琴是最富多面性和最美丽的乐器之一。每个文化和年代都创生出自己的版本，赋予了它丰富多样的声音和风格。

    我的目标，通过我的音乐，是阐明这种乐器的奇妙。以我的专辑“浪漫竖琴”和“古典竖琴”为例，我演奏了完整音乐会长度的竖琴，来制造豪华和古典的音乐。但是相反的，“原始竖琴”的特点则是用金属线的竖琴营造更加有敲击感的声音。“凯尔特圣诞竖琴”专辑是Clarsach或爱尔兰竖琴，更加温和和传统。

    我的“敬意”专辑是献给Tansen，16世纪印度Akabar国王宫廷中最伟大的音乐家的。为此我多次去印度寻找叫做Santoor的印度竖琴。这种竖琴用木制的锤子演奏，加上锡塔尔琴和印度长琴，与其他任何专辑相比，这张专辑有更加奇妙的多样性。

    最近我从中国的竖琴—铮中得到灵感，从而创作出“丝与竹”专辑。在这张专辑中，我将中国和西方的演奏曲调结合起来，加上Tim Wheater优美的竹笛演奏，召唤出古中国的神秘特质。在该专辑中。我将现代与远古乐器的声音融和在一起，以制造醉人的及全新的东方音乐的混合体。

    目前我在研究南非的音乐，这次着重于秘鲁竖琴和其他来自该区域的民族乐器。这张专辑将糅合南非音乐的西班牙感觉和安第斯山脉和印加区域的“其他俗心”。我希望能通过我的音乐来传达这些有奇妙的静思气氛，让听者沉浸于内心平静与安宁的感觉.
