BEING came out of a love of contemporary Australian classical music and
the desire to share the music of my home country with the people the
world over. The album is made of five works from living Australian
composers for solo cello. Each piece builds its own world of sound, and
despite all coming from Australian composers and composed within the
past 30 years, each is distinct and speaks to the diverse voices in
Australian composition.
My hope is that, through sharing
this album, more people can come to know and love Australian music.
My thanks go to the composers Victoria Pham, Brett Dean,
Deborah Cheetham Fraillon, Liza Lim, and Carl Vine, to Move records, for
helping me to record this project, to Genevieve Fry for creating the art
for this album, to Creative Australia for supporting BEING, and for all
the wonderful people who helped me during this process.
BEING was recorded with Martin Wright and Vaughann McAlley at move records in Naarm.
