Our latest guest mix comes from harpist Ange Halliwell. Based in the verdant countryside of Southwest France, he continues to make harp music with hypnotic arpeggios and sung, spoken or shouted voices. Halliwell's compositions are intimately linked to nature and have a contemporary consciousness of tradition.

Featuring unreleased personal material in addition to selections that unexpectedly glide from pastoral instrumentals to gauzy halcyon pop and grinding black metal, this is a mix that offers an intimate window into an artist's interior world.

"These music are precious to me. Some of them are from my childhood, where my parents or my brother used to listen to them. I discovered the others from my personal listening. They inspire me a lot and I love when they create an emotion inside of me. Here is a little compilation of my favourites of the moment." -Ange Halliwell

This mix comes ahead of Sharp FM’s first concert on Friday, April 26, taking place in a gorgeous church sanctuary in Brooklyn and headlined by Ange, who is visiting NYC. Tickets and more info here: https://ra.co/events/1910399
