heidi elva's music is delicate like a Japanese jewellery box. Listening, you feel as though you've uncovered an intimate conversation between two lovers.
you may find her in a dim candlelit room, lulling her audience with a collage of low dark cello lines, looping harp and samples, the floating sounds of trumpet and the hushed sway of her poetry and voice.
heidi elva's debut album 'ships and trees', recorded with Brian Campeau under the red light of his impure cabana studio, is due for release mid 2008.
the songs playing are on 'ships and trees'.
"......her gently flowing style of playing is hypnotic.....as she created live loops and sang through her harp to distort her voice, it was clear she is an artist devoted to pushing herself. Truly, her performance was a joy..."

"I waltzed into the slowly filling room to the fragile, sparse sounds of harpist and singer Heidi Elva....There was an impressive emotional intensity to Ms Elva’s performance which held the audience enraptured. .......Heidi’s magnetic appeal and stirring tunes kept me rooted to the spot..."
