Sophie Strand defines a 'rhizomatic harpist' as an imaginative and expansive musician who, much like the rhizomes in a root system, transcends linear traditions to explore interconnected pathways of creativity. This harpist not only masters the harp but also intertwines diverse influences, traditions, and genres, creating a web of sound that is rich, layered, and ever-growing. They understand music as a living ecosystem, where each note reverberates with the potential to spark new connections, evoke memories, and inspire fresh ideas. A rhizomatic harpist is deeply attuned to the complexity and subtlety of their instrument, leveraging its versatile capabilities to navigate and weave through the beauty of the audible landscape, fostering a dynamic and evolving musical experience.
