 An electroacoustic thesis statement in nonbinary performance, HARP+ redefines the modern chamber ensemble by deconstructing sonic and concert stereotypes. Through electronic augmentation, sampling, looping, and live projection, HARP+ explores the relationship between performer/instrument, gender/instrumental stereotypes, and acoustic/electric tone colors.  Sampling ideas from alternative music genres, free improvisation, and contemporary harp repertoire, HARP+’s unique voice ranges from minimalistically smooth soundscapes to dissonant expressionism.
