Ranie Ribeiro

Ranie Ribeiro’s artistic journey has taken on new heights. Formerly known by his DJ moniker D- Ribeiro, Ranie Ribeiro is solidifying himself as a harpist.

For award winning choreographer Sedrig Verwoert’s piece “The Ritual” (2023), Ribeiro was commissioned as a co-composer alongside Phantom Wizard. Both self taught musicians performed live on stage while Sedrig Verwoert and Alanna Archibald executed the piece.

In live performances at acclaimed venues such as Paradiso, Melkweg and de Doelen (2023) Ribeiro used the harp to experiment with classical, electronica and jazz elements.

Ribeiro unveils his talents as a composer for the first time on Het Jaar Rond on Nous’Klaer (2021), commissioned by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Embracing the harp’s delicate resonance he went on scoring various projects such as Het Limburgse Landschap (2021), Short Scores (2022) commissioned by Eye Film, and most recently, Waka Nanga Mi (2023), screened at IFFR 2023.
