Compositions
Original music shaped from an initial idea — an imaginative, handcrafted process of drawing separate forms together through resonance.

Pause
An invitation to see and hear the work in motion
A future film will offer a quiet view into Danielle’s process: the preparation of a room, the handling of instruments, the gestures of playing and the stillness around sound.
Production film and captions are awaiting commissioning. This still-image study is the approved development placeholder.
The work
Music, sound and deep listening
Danielle Joynt’s work moves between composition, song, education and sound meditation. Across each form, the invitation is the same: to listen with curiosity and notice what sound can open.

What to expectFeatured work
A harp with a remarkable history
North and Breathe 1 emerge from close attention to an instrument whose age, mechanisms and imperfections have become part of its voice.
About our harp
Our beautiful harp had long been discarded when she was retrieved from a vacated property in her present condition. Through her faded serial number, we are tracing her provenance—and it is a mighty one.
The Royal College of Music Museum in London has confirmed that she is one of the earliest Érard harps, dating from 1806, to incorporate a double-movement seven-pedal mechanism.
Developed by Sébastien Érard and still used in modern harp design, the mechanism enables each string to be shortened by one or two semitones, giving the harpist access to every key and chromatic setting. Érard’s work transformed the possibilities of harp playing.
We continue to explore our beautiful harp’s voyage from London to Australia, and her journey within.
Two compositions shaped through the harp’s strings, pedals, resonance and physical voice—available to experience in full.
