Families of privilege and money would have harps in their parlors, and their cultured daughters would learn to play. It's got such a strange history. But that wasn't the context that I learned it in, so the inherent friction between that history and the more humanist folk-y history wasn't in my conscience at all.

I started playing harp about fourteen years ago.

I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

I would happy for someone to download my music.

I have a recording that I did of instrumental songs.

I never thought people would be mortally offended by the sounds I was making.

I definitely don't subscribe to the theory that more instruments, or more vocal tracks, harmony, or double tracking the voice, is a good thing. People do their early albums very stripped down, then each album becomes bloated.
