HAIRETIS HARPER - DRAFT (LP)

The master harpist Maria-Christina Harper and the lute player Giagos Hairetis create an original duet that combines the contemporary music scene of London with the musical tradition of Crete. "Draft" is the first record of the Hairetis Harper project.

The album was written a year after their initial musical acquaintance and when the improvisations took the form of complete tracks. The recordings were made at Suono Studio by Coti K. who also did the mastering and at the Music Art Lab by Nikos Asimakis.

In the seven compositions of the album, the two musicians intricately combine the sounds of the two instruments and their musical influences, approaching the Cretan tradition in many ways and creating their own distinct sound.

"Draft" is released digitally and on vinyl by Same Difference Music.
