Playing pianos, whistling, and writing music...

It started with the initiative of the "Play me I'm yours" pianos that were stationed all around Adelaide... There was one of these free to play pianos for public use at the Central Markets opposite my apartment and I was game one day to play. I received kind words, coffee and macaroons from a stall holder after my improvisations. This delighted me.

Then I started to whistle in "The Waiting Room" at a routine checkup in my Doctor's clinic. It sparked a four-way conversation between strangers.

A couple of days later, some old colleagues got in touch asking me to whistle on a recording for them. This, also delighted me. I am now a professional whistler.

I will work with an Actor/Director soon on a one-woman show... It is in it's infancy, but will include original compositions, poems, improvisations and songs. I will use my voice, harmonica, piano, toy piano and melodica. Interdisciplinary work fascinates me and having an actor's input is fantastic.

In 2 weeks, I fly to Cambodia to write music for a show that will be premiered in the OzAsia Festival. I will work with The Sunrise Children's Village - a home for Cambodian Orphans.

There may be a trip to Japan next year.

Out of the silence, sound.
