Constantly breaking new grounds in ancient soil, Carl's compositional skills have been copied and commissioned, ranging from writing
songs for the likes of Wendy Matthews, 'Find Me Here', to children's songs, live
theatre soundtracks (two world travelled:- 'Ride' and 'Fourplay' for English playwright,
Jane Bodie) and sound design, for dance productions as well as for choirs such as the 300 piece Woodford Festival Fire Event choir. Performing also for soundtracks Carl appeared as
the voice of a Tahitian totem god in the U.S film production 'Paradise Found' featuring
Keifer Sutherland and Natasha Kinski.
An internationally renowned workshop facilitator in singing, songwriting, iimprovisation and inter-cultural exchange, Carl is a much sought after creator. <"There is very little I can say about Carl Pannuzzo that will not come out sounding like
he paid me lots of money to say it. So let me just say this, and I'll say it for free: he
looks like a normal-enough guy, but in fact Carl Pannuzzo is one of the most precious
songwriters we have. And just for the record, it was his music that first inspired me to
become a songwriter. His songs are the best kept secrets Melbourne has ever had. For his
honesty and his ability, he's right up there with the big ones. Years before I knew him,
his songs had already seen me through my very darkest nights. His songs become like a set
of keys into a whole new house of thought. His melodies lodge themselves into people's heads
like inspiring little secrets ... and it's all true." (Clare Bowditch)Prior to becoming an acclaimed solo artist, Carl was already well known from the
unique A Cappella trio, ' Acapelicans ' and
as singing drummer from roots-based improvisation band, 'Checkerboard Lounge', whose famed 7 year residency inspired the development of many great musicians and bands, and the bizzare
Totally Gourdgeous , whose instrument ensemble was made entirely of gourds.
Carl writes songs on the sharps of arrows. And when he sings them, they are delivered directly into the heart of people. (Naomi Edwards)
