Eve Duncan took her Masters in Composition at the University of Melbourne with Brenton Broadstock, and Honours in Composition at Latrobe University with Keith Humble and Theodore Dollarhide. She was awarded the International Modern Music Award for Composition in Vienna.
In the artist’s words
Behind the material world one senses a deeper world of inspiration, mathematics, spiritual beings, living physical and psychological archetypes; a living, breathing reality of invisibility. Composition is the means by which I swim through this sea of complex activity, trying to understand what influences human, animal and mineral evolution.
My music is architecturally conceived; however I allow the individuality of specific musicians to strongly influence the compositional elements such as rhythm, harmony, texture and melody: they are a rich resource for the unfolding of the music.
Reviews
There is a Satie-esque quality to some of the works which is intriguing ... Michael Kieran Harvey's contributions deserve special praise.
These discs feature both Australia and overseas musicians, who perform with accuracy and obvious enthusiasm. Curiosities is the perfect title for this collection of eclectic pieces and is well worth the discovery
