about

"Quinta has such a fantastic feel for orchestral colour and the range of emotions that can be captured in music for strings." BBC Unclassified - Elizabeth Alker

Aeolian Mixtape is the third feature album of experimental composer and multi-instrumentalist Quinta.

During a recent period spent living in Greece, Quinta was inspired to design and hand-build Aeolian harps – harps which resonate with the wind.

The sound of the Aeolian harp is ethereal and distinctive, characterised by the rising and falling of harmonic frequencies swept into life by the wind. The sonority varies according to the strength and character of the wind and the various materials used to make each harp, including string type and length.

Quinta will perform Aeolian Mixtapes as part of Nonclassical’s curated event “the greenhouse effect” at the Barbican Conservatory on Sunday 12 March 2023: www.nonclassical.co.uk/events/the-greenhouse-effect
