From 6pm a performance by musician Frances Cameron at Sawtooth ARI’s 25th Birthday. Come along and hear Frances’ own compositions + improvisations in response to the 25 + 1 limited edition contributing visual artists’ prints on display.
All About Frances ( according to MONA) “Classically-trained pianist and composer blends romantic and impressionist influences with minimalistic elements. Serenity ensues. The full-time music thing is going so well she's even been able to give up selling drugs, which is nice.”
From 7.30pm mixing/mastering/vocal engineer, songwriter, producer Becki Whitton in an improvised live vocal looping set.
Working out of Melbourne’s Carriage Studio, her approach balances focus and ease, and centres on a thirst to find the most powerful expression of a song’s emotional core. Her workflow translates across a range of genres from pop and hip hop (Allday, Memphis LK) to ambient and experimental music (Brambles, Rainbow Chan).
We can’t wait to hear her at Sawtooth!
