Zeena Parkins Joins Improvisations At Real Art Ways

Harpist/composer Zeena Parkins' music doesn't pay much attention to generic boundaries or limitations. She works with classical and one-of-a-kind electric harps, keyboards, accordions and an arsenal of shape-shifting pedals and gizmos that would make any rock guitarist jealous, conjuring sound-worlds that can sound gentle and woody, harsh or unsettling.
