Artist John Howe writes: "A few weeks ago, I received a CD. « 700 Years of Pop», by Asni... It’s been in the player since I put it in 2 weeks ago, and has to be the most wonderful music for drawing that I’ve heard in ages. ... It covers, as the title says, 700 years of music, from an anonymous 14th century piece to Howard Shore. The simplicity of the harp (occasionally accompanied by a baroque guitar) makes it seamless. ... It’s really astonishingly beautiful. Buy it. NOW !! (You won’t regret it, believe me.)"

What is pop music? In any case it is not just a 20th century phenomenon ... Music taken from film scores woven into medleys with baroque dance pieces and improvised interludes ... Listening to a French lovesong from the times of Richard the Lionheart, or an English melody the imitates the voices of birds, one is transported to a different world. Of course this requires a musician like Asni, who is able to sing out each part individually, up into the (almost) inaudible.
