Emotive, textural and organic, Fiona Hill’s ‘striking timbral exploration of abstract sonic properties’ (Music Trust) and ‘seamless working in of live electronics’ (Sydney Arts Guide) blends new technologies with corporeal evocations to generate detailed and immersive sound worlds. Composed through the layering of textural and harmonic sounds her music creates a deep and expansive bedrock on which to place melodic materials concerned with a freedom of spirit.
Fiona has a deep collaborative, multi-disciplinary based practice, through response and interaction with sonic materials as well as through direct collaboration with other artists. Her work has been recognised with multiple awards and nominations including winner of ‘The Stelvio Cipriani international Film Scoring Competition’ 2022, winner of ‘Best Film Score’ at the Seoul International Short Film Festival 2021.
Fiona has been performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony orchestra, Sydney Dance Company, Ensemble Offspring, Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellows and multiple electroacoustic works. She has a Masters in Screen Composition from AFTRS, a PhD in Composition from the University of Sydney and is currently lecturer in Composition for Creative Industries at the University of Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
