Harpist Julie Campiche’s instrument and music are polyphonic and polymorphous. She plays jazz with her quartet, modern chamber music with her Strings
Project and composes music for performances and film.
She thus courageously seeks a musical expression for contemporary social issues. The new release UNSPOKEN is Julie Campiche’s first solo album, with each composition being a musical portrait of a woman or a women’s movement.
Her first inspiration was Charlotte Bienaimé’s ‘Un podcast à soi’, which discusses fundamental questions of gender and feminism. “More often than not in history, ‘Anonymous’ was a woman” – this sentence by Virginia Woolf, epigraph to the famous radio podcast, has found an echo in Julie Campiche. Giving a voice to women, but in a distinct way: this is the common thread running through the album.
Rather than a feminist manifesto, UNSPOKEN seeks to celebrate feminine strength, nourished by commitment and openness. She addresses the fragile balance of women in shadow and light of society.
Classically trained, Julie Campiche discovered jazz during a big band performance twenty years ago. Fascinated by it, she decided to dive into this new world. She was the first harpist to earn a master’s degree in jazz composition and performance at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU). She has enjoyed a prolific career, making a name for herself on the international scene, where she tours regularly.
