Fiona Howe Fiona Howe London Fiona Howe is a singer-songwriter, musician and composer based in London. She also produces feature films. Classically trained, with a degree in literature, Fiona inherited her gift for improvisation and a taste for blue notes from her jazz pianist grandmother. Her début album Mermaid’s Work was released in January 2016. Eight songs explore the connection between the female psyche and the sea, a kaleidoscope of emotional colours shifting and moving with the ebb and flow of the tide, creating an intimate, mysterious sound, a vocal that steals into the ear and seduces the listener with its story. The lyrics deal with desire and desolation, defiance and abandonment, inspiration and healing. The songs are scored sparingly, with violin and cello underpinning and interweaving the vocal and piano lines and occasional colour from flute and harp, but they are also accessible and melodic. Fiona has produced a trilogy of award-nominated feature films for which she has also composed and performed the soundtrack music: Desire (Nominated Best UK Feature, Raindance Film Festival), Delight (Nominated Best Feature, Moscow International Film Festival) and most recently a full orchestral/choral score for Delirium which premièred in the Official Selection of Moscow Film Festival in 2017. The soundtrack recently won a special mention by the online 2017 Reel Music Awards, where it was nominated in the category Best Original Score for a Drama Feature: ‘…full of beautifully-rendered choral pieces… a wonderfully intimate and emotionally powerful score.’ Fiona Howe’s tracks The Dream by Fiona Howe published on 2017/03/20 12:41:34 +0000 Kyrie Eleison by Fiona Howe published on 2017/02/23 14:12:28 +0000 Mermaid's Work by Fiona Howe published on 2016/01/27 15:28:21 +0000 Siren Sister by Fiona Howe published on 2015/11/20 12:39:01 +0000
