Joanna Newsom is an American harpist, pianist, harpsichordist, singer and songwriter from Nevada City, California.
Newsom was first taught to play the Celtic harp from a local teacher in Nevada City. Later on she moved on to the pedal harp and started composing.
Although her harp playing is not completely divorced from conventional harp techniques, she considers her style distinct from that of classically-focused harpists. She has been strongly influenced by the polymetric style of playing used by West African kora players. Her harp teacher, Diana Stork, taught her the basic pattern of four beats against three, which creates an interlocking, shifting pattern that can be heard on Ys, particularly in the middle section of “Sawdust & Diamonds”.
