about

original music for violin and guitar (and ukulele)

comments from audience members at live performances:

…you and Jude began to play and I truly felt your music..and in particular the violin, pierce my heart in the most tender and sublime manner. Your music took me to a place of immense quiet within, as if each note could be a legacy by itself. K.E.

I found your music absolutely captivating. I loved the changes in tempo and key, sometimes in an unexpected way - which brought in new feelings and interest. You two played in perfect synergy as well - that effortless enjoyment of playing together brought a lightness that was quite joyful. H.B.

It started with my mind: garlic and wardrobes, each already a part of my relentless meaning-making. I was swept back first to years earlier when Narnia-like I'd step through a wardrobe into my office where I wrote law texts; and then to a more recent winter’s morning in the bush, rubbing off the dirt, and plaiting the garlic - my struggle to weave the leaves reflecting another struggle of integrating lives and selves.
And there you two were: collaborating from Denmark to Brisbane, a woman and a father, a violinist and guitarist, weaving thirty odd years of knowing your selves and each other, saying yes, allowing each other voice, giving us harmony out of unique individuality, out of difference.
Within moments my compulsion to make meanings ceased. The strings opened my ears, they pulled my toes to a tap, then my body to a rock and sway and then through me they coiled, up from my pelvis where sound always starts, then up along my spine and out my crown. The highs and lows, the runs and pauses, they pulled me up, they smoothed me down, they filled me out and for those magical moments, everything was whole. H.K.

I think what I especially love about your music is the sense of connection you seem to have, the sense of the instruments working together. Also - there’s an entirely effortless quality to your playing that is very relaxing (only word I can think of) even in the ‘fast’ pieces. I guess I really trust your music (can surrender to it) and that means I am more inclined to let it take me where it might - emotionally speaking. I certainly found the middle ‘slow’ piece very moving, it seemed to express generations of sorrow, somehow. I wonder if the music speaks to the DNA in me from ancestors who listened to music like that. S.A.
