Marina Mello

about

Marina Mello is a Brazilian harpist based in Zurich with a wide range of experience as a musician. She has developed a unique and very expressive style through the harp and its infinite possibilities. In this sense, she presents her artistic journey, mainly researching new sound textures through paradoxes between emptiness and noisy textures, and harmonic and random-spontaneous vertical sounds. Focusing on non-traditional ways of playing - with extended technique, prepared instrument and with effect pedals (hybrid, acoustic and electric harps), Marina believes that as a harpist there are many stereotypes and expectations that can and should be disrupted. In 2022, she graduated with honors with a Master's degree at ZHdK (Zurich University of arts) under the guidance of Professor Sarah O'Brien (classical harp), Lucas Niggli (improvisation practices), Ariana Savall (renascence music) and Charlotte Hug (transdisciplinary practices). In spring 2024 Marina collaborated with Theater Neumarkt in Zurich - she composed and performed the music for the production Dunkler Frühling directed by Yana Eva-Thönes and Tine Milz. In the summer of 2024 Marina toured in Brazil, Colombia and Peru with Constanza Pellicci (ag), Thelmo Cristovão (br), Linda Vogel (ch), Marcel Gschwend (ch) and Mara Micciche (ch). The IOIC Fitzcarrado Tour was produced by IOIC (institue of incoherent cinematography) and supported by Pro-Helvia South America. Marina has playing in various constellations in Switzerlan
