Here's an uplifting, ethereal five minutes for your Friday, which feels full of magical elf song. Here lies a land of fairies and secrets. Ancient powers and crystal kingdoms. These sound frequencies remind me of this passage from The Silmarillion - "A sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of Ilúvatar were filled to overflowing, and the music and the echo of the music went out...

Exploring C Major chords and melodies with a little added note fuzziness due to the buttoned shirt I was wearing that was buzzing against my harp as I played. Interesting how it came through on the recording. Can you hear which note it is? I have to be careful what I wear when I play. Anything hard like buttons, belts and metal ties can create challenges post production. ★ Support this podcast ★

Thank you to those who have already bought my new album 🙏🏼 Looking forward to releasing it fully on July 13th. I definitely went on a huge musical journey whilst making it. I had so much sound going into my ears and into brain during production - so many sound waves, that there were times I had to take a step back and hear nothing at all. So full of sound was I. And in the quiet I'd learn things too. But honestly, it wouldn't last long because the music would keep on going in my head even when...

Happy Solstice Blessings! May the magic of the sun shine down on you with happiness and good fortune. This harp piece unfolds brightly and effervescently. It's ethereal and glorious in its resonance. Let's all be healed by the sun. Here in Scotland we had our one day of sunshine (per year 😆) yesterday and that one simple day made me smile so much! The flowers are buzzing with energy and life. I want to be like the flowers in the sunshine. Go well! Shine on! Image by - Zaimful 🌞 ★ Support this ...

An ethereal improvisation reminding me of a tango dance. It starts out slowly with an exploration of chords, which sing out, making me hear all kinds of angelic voices within their vibrations. Then it turns a little sultry and exotic. I've been in the sun a lot today for the first time this year - actual sun on my face, wow! I'm even a little burnt ha! I'm so full of sun and this piece is full of it too. It's in A minor. Enjoy this swirly offering. ★ Support this podcast ★...

I went swimming today. And while I usually do lengths, today I became a child again and floated, rolled around, stretched, dove, did some handstands. I was a mermaid, connecting with water at every level. I played and experimented. It's my safe place. I love being weightless and have always been a water baby. I feel free. This piece feels watery and wavy. It's soft and gentle. Delicate and serene. It has a nice flow to it and connects me back to the lull and sense of peace I felt earlier today. ...

A sweet, joyful harp reset in uplifting D Major. The melody reminds me of the kind of music I used to hear ringing round school when I was a teacher. The childrens' voices would be bright, happy and alive and everything felt right with the world - it used to make me quite emotional : ) The birds were recorded in my garden in Scotland. They're busy singing their spring songs at the moment. Some birds I don't even know the names of (yet : ), so diverse are they. Louder and more melodic each day, t...

I love these short harp resets. This one predominantly uses chords from Eb Lydian (the 4th mode of Bb major) and sounds dreamy, cerebral and floaty. It finishes on a chord of G minor (the relative minor of Bb major) meaning the piece isn't left hanging and feels complete. ★ Support this podcast ★

My harp playing begins softly tonight, floating in on a breeze. I love this style. I'll explore it more. To hear melodies on the breeze, not knowing where they're coming from is a real treat. Have you ever experienced that? Healing moments of magic. There are some amazing robins in the mix tonight too. And I love all the spirals and melodic patterns I explore. 6 mins onwards conjures up a special energy for me. Enjoy! It would have been my Dad's 89th birthday today. This piece is connecting with...

This powerful piece soars majestically. Its purity cannot be touched. It's divine, strong and kind. We all have this magic soul seed inside, but some of us have forgotten about it and lost their way. It's a welcoming force without malice. It expands our hearts and protects the innocence in the world. May we all find our soul seeds once more. In F # Minor. Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️☀️ ★ Support this podcast ★

Clarifying, energising tones in C Major. Listen to them when you need a quick, cleansing moment to reset. Feel refreshed. Let your mind go and bathe in healing sounds. I've been experimenting with sound frequencies. I used to play my harp in 440Hz but after some comparisons, I've started playing in 432Hz. So I've downtuned my harp strings by 8Hz from the standard 440Hz of modern day tuning. Here's a great comparison video using guitar. Which do you prefer? I love that so many sound frequencies e...

It’s full moon - a silver snow moon to be precise. I’ve been writing lots recently. Tonight I wrote an empowerment prayer with the force of the full moon behind me. Here’s a little excerpt… I ask for this prayer to soar up into the highest heights, into the moon’s aurora, a place of shimmering light and hope. Please allow me to rest there for a while also, and be held by Her auroric embrace, for being there close to such mystical vibrations will envelop me in a solace I cannot explain. ★ Support...

I recorded this stunning birdsong at 4am recently, walking back home after a night of dancing. I look forward to my after-club-dawn-chorus walks so much. I met some robins on this early morn, singing their hearts out in the trees above. Then they joined me on the path, bobbing around, unfazed by my being there. Their round little bodies are so sweet. I love how tame they are. I know they have a special relationship with humans. I’ve heard many stories. I got my recorder out and caught some of th...

This simple cosmic harp piece goes on a journey with a flower as it grows and blossoms. It’s in E harmonic minor and has quite a forlorn, emotional tone to it, as if the harp is already saying goodbye to this little flower, knowing what will come. We watch it grow stronger as the elements test it. We see it bask in the sun with the birds. It has a fleeting moment to shine. And then, it is gone. The melody suits the autumnal vibes now, where everything is turning to rest and hibernation. I love t...

Hey everyone, it’s time for a spooky soundtrack to celebrate Halloween and Samhain. This is a moodier, atmospheric and chilled out harp journey taking on a dungeon synth feel. It’s ethereal too and has an eerie suspense running through it. There are plenty of cats to meet. You’ll hear all kinds of meows and purrs. The purrs in particular became quite hypnotic for me. There are also beautiful droplets of water from inside the cavern, sampled from all over the world. That makes it super magical fo...

Hey everyone. I’m pleased to introduce one of the pieces from my new album La Navigatrice . It’s called Unfurling and is about finding ourselves and shaking off the stuck energy that isn’t serving us. To find our magical wings.
