Still Warm

Description
FitkinWall is made up of the harpist Ruth Wall and the contemporary classical composer and musician Graham Fitkin. 'Still Warm' combines these ancient instruments with new technology. The rather intimate and beguiling sound of the harp is taken out of its comfort zone as the familiar sounds of these plucked instruments are meshed into a new world of pixellated timbres, scattered beats and grooves.

Ruth plays three harps, Scottish lever harp, Irish wire-strung harp and the buzzing bray harp, and Graham plays keyboards, mixes and digitally manipulates these sounds. Their live performances are something special as their aim is to perform their music not just in standard sit-down-and-listen music venues but in a whole range of places so that people who might not normally encounter this music get the chance to hear it. So, they have performed at the Eden Project in their Mediterranean biome, in electronica club venues, festivals, churches and so on, from the north of Scotland to southwest Cornwall.

Personnel: Ruth Wall (lever, bray and wire harps), Graham Fitkin (keyboard/electronics)
