Mary Lattimore, Eric Weidenhof & Dubravka Bencic

Perfect for studying, working or just getting lost in, the music of Los Angeles-based harpist Mary Lattimore blurs the boundary between intimacy and distance. She’s classically trained, but often works with indie musicians. Originally from Asheville, N.C., Lattimore has recorded pieces with Meg Baird, Thurston Moore, Kurt Vile and more; she’s also worked on soundtracks for the films Lopapeysa and Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present. She was a part of The Valerie Project, whose self-titled 2007 album serves as an alternate soundtrack to the cult film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. -Alex McCann
