Romanian Dream ~ Exotic, Majestic, Romantic Journey

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/07/20

This cosmic harp journey is in the Romanian or Ukranian Scale. It suits the current weather here in Scotland where it’s hot hot hot!! It’s a mode of the harmonic minor - the fourth mode - and is full of mystery and magic with lots of exotic sounds running through it. It’s energetic in places - I get totally carried away in parts. It makes me happy to create exciting harmonies and melodies. I love to explore the wonder and power of my little harp. ★ Support this podcast ★

In the Deep of the Forest ~ Ethereal, Expansive, Deep

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/07/09

This beautiful song flows with earth and air energy. Its ethereal overtones make it magical and uplifting. The hypnotic melody comes back again and again to ground you. It’s an extended instrumental version of my song - In the Deep of the Forest - which has profound words and is full of earthy love. I wanted to celebrate its lovely melody, so created this longer piece. I’ve added in some woodland forest sounds too, like beautiful songbirds, which float in and out of the music. I really love

The World Keeps on Turning ~ Comtemplative,...

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/07/06

This piece is contemplative. So much happens in our lives and some of it is really hard. When I think about the earth, steadily turning day by day, I find strength to keep moving forward, step by step. Through the hardships and struggles. Through the crazy emotions. Until I reach the beautiful sunrise, which warms my soul. I like taking solace in the rhythm of the earth. This piece in C Minor follows that steady rhythm. It’s a little forlorn but there are still moments of high sparkle. ★

Sahara Dancing Free ~ Exotic Harp, Bright and Beautiful

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/06/16

I’ve really been swirling around to my latest musical journey. It has lots of beautiful melodies running through it and an exotic, mysterious atmosphere. It’s in the mode of G Phrygian Dominant and has a warm, passionate desert-like feel. The name Sahara Dancing Free comes from a girl I once met and that was her name. I loved it so that now, fifteen years after meeting her, I’ve named a piece after her. Maybe she’ll hear it one day : ) I’d love to stand on top of a giant sand dune.Edit* G

Forest Kiss ~ Relaxing Nature Sounds with Ethereal Harp

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/06/04

Today’s improv has a fruity, vibrant feel. I play in C Minor harmonic and added in a little tropical soundscape. The rhythm is quite marzurka-like and that style originated in Poland so it’s a piece of many places. I went into a bit of a lucid state listening to it earlier then came back to reality as the pace and volume picked up again : ) Enjoy. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Spring Queen ~ Exciting Musical Vision Quest to...

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/05/16

Oh my goodness, I love this piece sooo much. It’s about The Spring Queen. She’s here to wake everyone up! All the spirits of the forest, the pixies, fae folk and elementals. They’re all fast asleep from winter time and she’s here to fill everyone with joy and wonder and warmth for her season. She’s bold and bright, radiant and beautiful. Her melody is vast, reaching out over the lands, echoing all around. And everything responds to her song. They wake up and shine out their colours and

Dawn Loveliness - Seagulls, Blackbirds, Beautiful...

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/05/04

It’s been a weird, spacey kind of day. Toothache woke me up at 3:30am and the day has spiralled in all kinds of weird directions since then, but I’m glad I caught the early morn because I was able to get the most beautiful dawn chorus recording from out my window. I’ve said it before - I love the beautiful resonance that comes from birdsong echoing off the sandstone tenements. It’s really special.A blackbird was the star of the show this morning with a chorus of dynamic seagulls

Exploration ~ Ethereal, Divine, Angelic

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/05/01

I decided to record a practise session today. I feel a bit like a sculptor, chiseling away at marble in order to find the art, the object, the person, the melody. There are chords and experiments as I pass over the strings, things that feel familiar and then things that sound weird. There are completely unknown things and unusual territories (when clashing notes come out). Then all of a sudden I get inspired, I know what’s waiting for me and I go in search of it chasing it down like a

The Night Circus ~ Exotic, Dark, Mystical Journey

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/04/30

Welcome to The Night Circus, a place of enchantment and dreamy realities. I read this book by Erin Morgenstern a few years ago and this new piece feels like it belongs in the book. There’s magic and mystery in the layers, also playfulness and chaos. I feel I’ve pushed the boat out further creatively this time. There are moods and beautiful phrases coming out of nowhere. The pace shifts around. There’s an exotic, mysterious feel which can be uplifting yet mournful. When I make these

A Journey ~ Dreamy, Exotic, Soothing Harp Journey

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/03/19

This is an instrumental version of the last song I released called Uma Viagem. It felt good to explore chords and see what sounds came out. It’s definitely got an exotic feel in places and a vast amount of dreamy reverb dancing around of course. I’m on quite a journey myself at the moment (aren’t we all?) with lots of realisations and decisions being made meaning that psychological burdens are being lifted. I feel so light. Hooray! Happy Spring Equinox! Let’s welcome back the light. Long

Uma Viagem ~ A Journey ~ Santo Daime ~ Odemir ~...

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/03/17

A soft, gentle song sung by a fire with nature as a soundscape. This song’s melody lulls me as I sing. It calms me and gives me peace. The sounds of the crackling fire connect me deeply to somewhere safe. Here’s the video I made for it.

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/03/04

Here’s an epic Santo Daime song for you. It was already fast and strenuous to sing and then I went and made it sound like it was in a cathedral too. It’s on the faster side of my song repetoires and I love singing it for its power and clarity. I made a video for it also, which you can watch here.Veio da florestaComo um Beija-FlorPousou na beira-marE explandiu o seu amorMostrando para todosO caminho do SenhorAjuntando os seus filhosNa estrada do amorEsta força é o DaimeE o Daime é luzEle é o

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/02/24

I love the energy of this song. It’s hypnotic to sing and I’m all into being protected by angels so it makes me sing even more passionately : ) I’ve made a video for it here with lots of colour and vibrancy.O anjo de Deus nos protegeCom seu santo manto azulDe leste a oeste, de norte a sulViva a Estrela do azulQue faz brilhar as Estrelas do CéuDo arcanjo RafaelEste globo gira perfeitoCom diversas amostragens de corÉ Deus em tudo, é o fruto, é a florVida do meu CriadorQue faz brotar com todo

Luar ~ Moonlight ~ Léo Artese ~ Magical Mermaid Song

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/02/16

This beautiful song is about The Queen of the Sea ~ Mamãe Yemanjá. I’m sure I was a mermaid in a past life as I’m much better at gliding through the sea than walking on land these days so I connect in a knowing way with this sacred song. I remember hearing it in ceremonies years ago and thought it had an oriental feel. I never seemed to have the words to sing along with at the time but now I do hooray! I think it goes very well with the dreamy harp melodies. There are a couple of nice

Snowy White Night ~ Magically Enchanting Lullaby

Late Nite Harp ·

2021/02/02

I really enjoyed making this piece. It’s got a wintry feel. I’ve had the melody in my head for a long while, since 2012 in-fact when I originally wrote the song. I love singing it, especially in the colder months. It feels super magical and mysterious. The melody is hypnotic and the whole mood of it is like a music-box. I’m transported to a far off land where nothing is quite as it seems. The majesty of the snow sounds other worldly in D harmonic minor and there’s an aura of things being

Soaring ~ Ethereal, Soothing, Meditative Harp

Late Nite Harp ·

2020/12/30

When I hear this song I think of kites and bubbles : ) I like the moods it goes through in the space of five mins. The tempo changes, it’s loud then soft, it ebbs, it flows, it soars in places and swirls up, up, up. I feel like I’m flying in the sky listening to this. It’s in E minor today with a simple chord progression which sounds like bubbles making their way to the surface to pop. ★ Support this podcast ★

Aurora ~ Magical, Uplifting, Sparkling Harp

Late Nite Harp ·

2020/12/27

This piece conjurs up the dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis for me. They're so divinely majestic aren't they? I've only ever seen them in pictures but even that is more than enough. I like the high trills and sparkly bits through this song. It feels cheeky and alive. It builds slowly and reaches magical heights before calming down again. I love its energy. ★ Support this podcast ★

Mermaids ~ Delightful, Enchanting, Healing, Magic

Late Nite Harp ·

2020/11/10

Oooo I’ve just had a final listen to this Mermaid song and I totally lost my sense of space sitting in my chair and felt like I was being taken by the sea somewhere magical. It gave me such a gentle peace.When I was little, one of my favourite films was Supergirl. She was my idol (of course). I remember her home was a sparkling, underwater kingdom. It felt safe, calm and pure. When I created this song I started to see that place again. And mermaids too. Singing, gliding, welcoming, smiling

Rashin Coatie ~ Cinderella ~ Melancholic Harp Meditation

Late Nite Harp ·

2020/10/27

When I started exploring chords and feeling my way into this song I saw the image of a girl scrubbing a stone floor. She was tired and sad. It reminded me of Cinderella. Rashin Coatie is the Scots name for her.This song has a contemplative feel. I started experimenting with A Dorian mode which sounds slightly sorrowful and pensive to me. But there’s hope too with sections of high, bright melodies which radiate light. It’s a battle between resignation and strength, fragility and

The Queen of Autumn ~ Exciting, Beautiful Harp Energy

Late Nite Harp ·

2020/10/24

I’m really excited about this piece. I’m exploring the third mode of the scale of G major. It’s called the Phrygian mode and I’m blown away with how beautiful it sounds. As I’m obsessed with autumnal colours at the moment I can feel the influence it’s had on the music. I see an elusive, strong golden queen taking care of her trees. The winds blow, the leaves dance in the breeze. And she dances too (she even has her own melody). Dancing with the elements, with the sprites, with the spirits
