Harp & Arp is one of several bands existing in the collective imagination of harpist Katie Buckley and synthesist Jesper Pedersen. Together they perform imaginary dreamscapes on processed harp and synthesizer. The music of Harp & Arp is on the ambient spectrum with focus on both tonal structures as well as abstract sonic journeys.

Ana Luisa Diaz de Cossio
I am a musician whose work traverses the space between social structures, individuality, spontaneity, and explores resonance in physical as well as cultural space. Through extreme extended techniques, I challenge conventional instrument playing, exploring the possibilities and limits of sounds within the instrument. My music is informed by political, social, and cultural awareness of the systems constituting our societies.

Cameron is a Scottish composer and performer based in Reykjavík, with a practice focused primarily in instrumental composition, sound art, and free improvisation. Cameron has freelanced with Icelandic ensembles such as Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands, Caput ensemble, and Elja kammersveit. Cameron engages in experimental and improvised performance. Through sound exploration and extreme extended technique, he challenges conventional expectations of the bassoon and the relationships between performers, spaces, and audiences.
