…screen music…
tea suite (2022-ongoing)
suite of solo piano pieces for anyone to play!
I’m currently composing a (growing!) suite of solo piano pieces inspired by tea. by the end of the project, I hope to compile a book of sheet music and illustrations for anyone to explore on the piano. the compilation will be aimed at people who love to play the piano (beginners and rusty pianists included!) and drink tea.
tea suite is inspired by beryl shereshewsky’s call out asking how people around the world drink their tea. I liked the idea of creating a musical response to this proposition.
music for (silent) films
over the past couple of years, I have composed and performed soundtracks for over 20 silent film shorts as part of Australia’s Silent Film Festival and Kammerklang’s ‘Something Will Happen’. I have loved diving into the rabbit hole of silent film and am continually in awe of the creativity and originality of early film makers. in 2017, i collaborated with violinist Jane Aubourg (who i have had the pleasure of creating multiple soundtracks to silent film with!) to record and release “Photoplay: Music for Silent Film, Vol. 1”
music for various screen projects (2016-2022)
I have composed music for various film/animation/screen projects. I love collaborating with filmmakers and other creatives to compose original music and bring their stories and ideas to life through sound. I cherish my ongoing collaborations with director Lliane Clarke/Voices of Women, animator Anastasia Dyakova and 3D artist Matthew Jigalin. this is an area of my music-making that I feel that I have so much more to learn about and grow in my capacity to create and produce music for such mediums.

music for (creative) films
over the past couple of years , I have loved collaborating with animators, film-makers, photographers, architects and organisations to compose music alongside videos. in composing this kind of music, I love working at the piano, often (somewhat) solving my frustrations with my favourite instrument by preparing it (ie: putting objects into the piano to change the sound and extend the possible sounds I can work with).
the samples of music you will hear in the clip above come from music i composed/recorded for Moorambilla Voices Magic Modules (with photographer Noni Carroll) and JigSketch (aka my architect father) alongside footage of my own (mostly taken on a trip to Japan along with a clip from a work at Sculptures by the Sea!).
