About

“There’s something wonderfully consistent about Prudence’s work. She has a really unique way of looking at eras and breathing new light in them… [it] is a total delight – every element is patient, contributing to a long form gems that weaves together gorgeously.”

Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I am a composer who draws on sounds from across the spectrum of popular and obscure music to create work which sits at the intersection of pop, classical and experimental traditions.

Over the past 15 years I have made music with computers, orchestras, analog tape machines, modular synths, incredible sessions musicians, theatre makers, scientists, friends and bandmates.

My practice has expanded beyond song craft to include works of experimental theatre (notably with international award-winning company Four Larks), as well as partnerships with scientists at NASA — investigating ways their research can inform new approaches to sound. I co-founded Schema47, and produced a series of salons which catalyzed numerous partnerships between scientists and artists, and Sound Travels, a remote hire platform for musicians, in response to Covid-19.

I am currently completing a Masters in Design Innovation and Technology with a focus on sound at RMIT and SIAL Studio, and work as the Membership and Engagement Coordinator at the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio. I have a Bachelor of Music (cello) and Bachelor of Arts (English Literature) from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and returned to Melbourne in December 2021, having lived in Los Angeles and New York for 8 years.
