Aeolian Mixtape is the third feature album of experimental composer and multi-instrumentalist Quinta (previously worked with Bat For Lashes and Orphans and Vandals).

During a recent period spent living in Greece, Quinta was inspired to design and hand-build Aeolian harps – harps which resonate with the wind.

The sound of the Aeolian harp is ethereal and distinctive, characterised by the rising and falling of harmonic frequencies swept into life by the wind. The sonority varies according to the strength and character of the wind and the various materials used to make each harp, including string type and length.
