The right piece of music is the one that builds vibrant characters and tells the story in the best possible way
And what if that way was… with the harp?
Some people associate the harp only with angels and unicorns, but it has a wide range of uses that can elicit a broad range of emotions which I have been seeing more of in film/TV. The award-winning black comedy TV series Fargo, for example, used it to breathe life into complex characters and amplify a multitude of scene types in a rich, multi-dimensional tapestry.
As a harpist and film/TV composer, my goal is to champion the moods, characters, and scenes in film and TV, largely by using the pure but primal sounds of the harp, solo and with other instruments and different genres.
My music has been heard around the world on major outlets such as Fox, Disney, BBC, Discovery, and in a film parody bought and released by Columbia Pictures.
