So unique is Queen of Harps music that shes invented her own genre: hip-hop-harp. A SAMA Best Hip-Hop Artist nominee in 2023, Queen of Harps aka Scots-Malaysian rapper and harpist Anise Pearson blends sampled harps and beats with her laconic and instantly recognisable conscious hip-hop flow. Seeing music as a way to reach out to her audience and find those common elements that unite us in all our diversity, Pearson spins tales of overcoming past hardship and building better futures. Floris Vanhoofs work introduces elements of chance and unpredictability into stable systems, activating and disrupting them mischievously. In Soap Bubbles, a laser shines across the room to strike light-sensitive diodes on the far wall, a simple process by which light is turned into sound or it would be, were it not for the mass of foam that interrupts the lasers path. The steady beam of light is refracted and scattered unpredictably, the soundtrack mutating as the bubbles constantly form, pop, reform.
