FRANK V DWYER

composer

ABOUT

I am an emerging composer and sound designer living and working on Gadigal land. I trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where I was mentored by electronic music composers such as Ben Carey and Daniel Blinkhorn. My current practice centres around the creation of electro-acoustic soundscapes and installation-based work. I also compose for chamber ensembles, choir, electroacoustic and electronic ensembles, and I do sound design and composition for theatre productions.

​

As a composer, my work is typically rooted in a sense of place. I am drawn to the ambient sounds of natural phenomena and the built environment, drawing inspiration from the sound-making systems that are inherent to these settings. I strip back the sounds of the everyday world that surrounds us, recontextualising them as textural, evolving and evocative soundscapes.

​

My work has been supported by organisations such as the EDGE Greenway Festival, Shopfront Arts Co-op, Brand X, PACT, APAM, and Merrigong.
