Dr. Frankie Dyson Reilly is a Meanjin (Brisbane)-based interdisciplinary composer, artist, and researcher. Through vivid audio-visual depictions of Australian landscapes and fauna, she seeks to highlight intimate companionships between humans and natural worlds, particularly regarding our relationship with native birds. Her explorations into multimedia graphic scoring practices formed the basis of her Doctor of Musical Arts research at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, investigating the affordances of colour in music notation. This interdisciplinary practice - melding visual and sonic arts - led to positions as Artist-in-Residence at the Mt. Wilson Old School (NSW) and at the Piano Mill in Harrigan’s Lane (NSW) and with the Dots + Loops performance collective (QLD).
