Angélica Salvi is a Spanish harpist, composer and sound artist who has been based in Porto since 2011. She boasts an extensive artistic career during which she worked with composers like Takayuki Ray, Joseph Waters, Heiner Goebbels, Stephen Andrew Taylor and also improvising musicians such as Butch Morris, Evan Parker, Joëlle Léandre and Han Bennink.
“Salvi (…) creating a base for a beautiful atmosphere and intensifying it, full of irregular, repetitive, unfolding motives, she thereafter distinguished herself as a solo artist: as an impressionist or even, imagine, like a distorted rock guitar. Halfway she approached a certain orientalism or the universe of Takemitsu. Between scattered notes and heavy glissandi, she would finally conclude with a gentle repetitive note.” (concert review of Joëlle Léandre X 5, in Serralves) Jazz.pt
