About

Jessie Newling is a composer, vocalist and performer based in Eora/Sydney. Her work draws together eclectic musical threads. From a place of memory and longing, improvisations flow into movement and song. A classically trained singer and seasoned Cabaret performer, she plays with the possibilities of her voice, using digital processing and effects with custom made controllers to create choral textures and distorted solo lines and, with the movement of a hand, freezes and warps time and timbre. The minutiae of everyday life - found sounds, field recordings and the textures of her own voice are woven into her work exploring old world gesture and expression with modern music technology.
