composer

At the beginning of 2008, Annette decided to return to her first love, music, following a successful career in corporate law spanning over a decade. During (and more often in spite of!!) her career in law, Annette maintained her enthusiasm and commitment for music by composing and arranging in a number of genres for small ensembles, as well as playing and recording on the acoustic and electric violin in various Sydney based bands.  Annette has also maintained her fascination for musicology and ethnomusicology developed during her earlier B. Mus. studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Since setting up a digital home recording studio earlier this year, 

Annette is now furthering her composing and music production skills.  

While continuing to write for ensembles, she is also keen to collaborate with other arts and media forms, including film, television, theatre and dance.  Annette is also working on compositions for the electric violin using the technical and soundscape developments made possible by midi, loop and other effects devices which have opened up interesting possibilities for this instrument over the past few decades.

Underpinning the above is her desire to understand and appreciate the way sound informs and enriches our perception of the world and each other.
