My life revolves largely around the world of music.
I am and avid composer of classical, jazz and metal music. Some of my classical works are featured on this page including a live recording of 'Music for Violin, Vibraphone and Piano' from late 2004. I am the process of writing several new compositions which I hope to have recorded and premiere live later in 2007. For more info on some of my compositions featured on this page visit my blog. Please have a listen, and let me know your thoughts!
I play violin and sing clean vocals in Melbourne based band, NE OBLIVISCARIS, that you could very loosely describe as progressive/extreme/melodic metal. Within this band, I am involved in the composing and arranging of our music. I also manage the band along with our vocalist, Marc (aka Xenoyr). (http://www.myspace.com/neobliviscaris)
I am the Director of WELKIN ENTERTAINMENT an events/management/bookings and promotions company I started with NeO extreme vocalist, Marc Campbell (aka Xenoyr). Welkin Ent. works as a management team and booking agency for my band Ne Obliviscaris. We are also working on a number of different projects, the first being the TRIPLE CD launch for NeO, Be'lakor and Empyrean in Melbourne on April 21; the 2nd being a series of promotional Australian metal compilations that will be distributed nationally as a way of helping Aussie metal bands gain more exposure across the country. If you're interested in hiring Welkin Ent., or would like us to consider your band for one of our shows, email us at: [email protected] or through our myspace: http://www.myspace.com/welkinentertainment
I have been playing violin since I was 6 years old, I am now 24 (25 on June 4), and have studied with a series of fantastic violin teachers including Goetz Richter, Fintan Murphy and Cathy Lee (USA). I currently study with Elizabeth Sellars. I perform in the classical, metal and jazz worlds, and also work as a session musician for any interested rock/metal/jazz or folk bands/artists that require any violin on their recordings. I am an experienced musician with a hard working ethic and professional attitude, so if hired to do something I always ensure an excellent outcome.
I recently completed my Bachelor of Music degree at Monash University where I majored in performance with a minor in composition. I am currently doing my honours in music performance.
I also have an as yet untitled jazz trio with Brendan Brown (bass- Ne Obliviscaris) and Scott Young (guitar- Alarum) which I am very excited about. Hopefully we'll hit the live scene and start playing some jazz clubs later in 2007.
Any questions, of feedback on any of my projects, feel free to send me a message anytime!
