Timbre Cierpke on SoundBetter

I have written & recorded harp parts on Grammy award-winning songs with Jack White, as well as with bands in every genre: The Chariot & mewithoutYou (hardcore), Ricky Skaggs (bluegrass), Brooke Waggonner (songwriter), Coin (rock) & over 50 other artists. I am also the featured solo voice on Tony Anderson's soundtrack for the film "Heart of Man."

I can bring a unique element to your music, writing and recording parts on my beautiful full-sized classical harp. I also specialize in high, floaty ethereal vocals, which works perfectly for background elements and soundtracks.

If you want that special real-instrument sound, I can arrange for every classical instrument (strings, brass, wind) as well as for choir, and can also find and contract players/singers for the parts I write, have them recorded, and deliver a finished product.

I have been playing harp professionally for over 20 years, have sung professionally since childhood, and am a professional composer. I have been featured on over 50 albums to date.

    This was probably one of the best and nicest collaborations I have had here on Soundbetter. Timbre has a gorgeous voice and is a one of a kind musician. I sent her an upbeat Ambient piece as I felt the piece could use some ethereal vocal adlibs. Well...she totally elevated the song to a higher level. She has such an angelic and rich tone in her voice that made the track stand out. I could not be happier. Highly recommended and I can't wait for the next collaboration!

    How could I be so Harpless? That was the question. And Timbre Cierpke was the answer. An accomplished musician who has mastered her instrument and made my entire collaborative experience unforgettable.

    Having had the pleasure of working with Timbre before, when I had a second track needing beautiful, ethereal vocals, I knew just where to go - and I was once again thrilled and impressed with the final result, just what I had in my head and just what the track needed! Thanks Timbre!

    Such talent, in the playing, arranging, and the singing; an amazing voice, as well as lovely playing. Timbre brought my song to life just as I had imagined it and wanted it to be.

    Recording quality is also top notch, it will be a pleasure fitting my mix around what she has performed and recorded. And last, but by no means least, there was also her all-round professionalism and being a pleasure to work with. For all the above, all I can say is - thank you, Timbre!

    Timbre provided a sensitive and beautifully played harp version of one of my piano pieces. There were some communication issues (mainly, I wish to make clear, from my end) and these were resolved in a highly professional and courteous manner. I am most happy with Timbre's work and would very much hope to work with her again in the future with another harp version of one of my pieces. Fully recommended.
