Anne Vanschothorst is a pioneer in the field of original minimal harp music and is one of the view international critically acclaimed composers in the world who produces applied music with the harp as basis material. She advocates that harp-based-audio-productions should be heard more often in film, multi-media and art-projects. Because the pure sound of this string-instrument has the unique quality to blend natural with spoken word, visuals and nature/ambient-sounds, even more so than the traditional orchestral music. Her recent work is placed e.g. in the cinema-movie and national television nature-doc. “Living River” directed by the award-winning film maker Ruben Smit, Discovery Communications (Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TLC ao), and a GUCCI infomercial. Recently she was asked to make a sound-sculpture for museum Boijmans van Beuningen (part of the permanent collection). Anne finds it important to be an indie-artist, due to the artistic- freedom that comes with it. The world famous singer-songwriter Lori Lieberman (Killing me softly a.o.) describes the Dutch music maker as 'such an amazing and passionate artist ; Beautiful and very Impressive music indeed !'
