this ain't fake

Mention the harp, and one immediately envisions angels plucking its strings, butterflies fluttering, and the scent of blooming flowers filling the air. It's as though the harp is limited to these ethereal stereotypes, leaving its other capabilities in the shadows. However, the harp possesses a more versatile personality that often remains unexplored. This ain't fake pushes the boundaries of what the harp can achieve and invites us to embrace a fresh perspective on this timeless instrument. It's a rebellious fusion of tradition and innovation, where the harp's strings resonate with the energy of punk rock, defying stereotypes and proving that there's so much more to this instrument than meets the ear.

'This ain't fake' represents an exceptional collection of new compositions created by a diverse group of internationally renowned composers, each hailing from distinct musical traditions. The project aims to break free from the constraints of convention and blur the boundaries of musical genres. It features original works by Frank Nuyts, Mirek Coutigny, Maja Bosnic, Dai Fujikura and Lise Morrison.
