Zaïna from UNSPOKEN by Julie Campiche

Zaïna: This piece was Julie Campiche’s very first composition. Its inclusion is truly symbolical as it embodies the essence of innocence. Every woman, before taking on the feminine identity and the social construct associated with it, is first and foremost a human being. This piece unfolds entirely acoustically, without any use of electronical devices. It literally emerges from silence, building gradually around an improvisation, reaching its climax with the melody sung and played on the harp. This progression symbolises both the fragility and the power of innocence, capturing all its complexity and emotional richness.

Harpist Julie Campiche’s work is an on-going process of musical innovation. Through research and experimentation she has developed the use of electronic effects that enhance the scope of her improvisational work. She has a very personnel technique and her own musical language.
Julie performs in numerous European clubs and festivals on a regular basis.
