an incomplete history of the art of the solo violinAugust 08, 2025
It was surreal to have this piece performed by  phenomenal violinist, Miranda Cuckson, at Rose Hall in Philadelphia. 

Commissioned by the Australian National Academy of Music for their ANAM Set 2025, the piece continues my interest in transferring and transposing musical materials from bodies to bodies, instruments to instruments, and situations to situations.

Here, the music draws upon my solo contrabass practice, translated to the violin via the cello — a process developed in close collaboration with David Moran. The title comes from Rohan Kriwaczek’s eccentric book An Incomplete History of The Art of The Funerary Violin.

In April,  NYC-based vocal ensemble Ekmeles premiered a new composition called australian music, at Rose Hall in Philadelphia. The text and inspiration for the piece comes from a poem by South Australian poet Tadhg Porter-Cameron.

Link to the score can be found HERE.
