Harpaxe.
Harpaxe is the alter ego of Scottish hymn writer John David Coupland who uses his creation to explore the world of instrumental music. With over 40 years of composing behind him he still finds new ways to create charming and graceful music. From the electric reverb laden twang of the Year Album to the worshipful acsoutic sounds of To God be the Glory there is something for everyone.
