Emily Hopkins: 'Resonance' Session No. 1

In this episode of Inner Rhythm, host Matthew Ward sits down with electroacoustic harpist and composer Emily Hopkins to discuss her creative journey and her unique blend of classical harp techniques with modern music technology. Broadcasting from the historic home of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, the conversation delves into Emily's background, her experiences with the PK House's Resonance Program, and her collaborative relationship with her partner, Russ. Together they explore the intersection of art, technology, and personal expression while reflecting on their innovative approach to music and community building.Follow Emily on Instagram @emilyharpistFollow us on Instagram @pollockkrasnerhouseAbout the podcast:In March of 2024 we began inviting special guests into the historic painting studio of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner for conversations about creative pursuit. In this endeavor, we are guided by Krasner's imperative: “I never violate an inner rhythm. I loathe to force anything…I have regard for the inner voice.”In our inaugural season, we welcome curator Matthew Yokobosky, harpist Emily Hopkins, jazz historian Thomas Manuel, and other guests who will share stories and insights about their creative journeys, which we hope will connect you with your own inner rhythm. We also showcase one-of-a-kind musical performances set in the studio itself.Find us on all podcast platforms, YouTube at @pollockkrasnerhouse.
