Elyktra is a classically trained harpist with orchestral and freelance experience. As a performing musician, she is best known for her renditions of jazz and pop standards on concert harp. Her other live appearances include period performances on the Flemish baroque harp and the Welsh triple harp. Her backround in electrical engineering has led her to bring these historical instruments into the realm of electronica, resulting in 5 tracks that comprise the cd "The Harps Speak". The result is a form of otherworldly music that allows the harp to be seen in a new light as part of the world of musical surrealism.
