Carolyn Schofield
Vietnamese-Australian electronic/synth musician Fia Fiell, aka Carolyn Schofield, combines her profound practical and theoretical chops as a pianist and composer with a most modern and perceptive ear for stretching out the orbit of millennial electronic music constructs. Her improvisatory live performances involve multiple synths played and processed in real time to create hauntingly ethereal, unsettling and subtly-shifting meditative soundscapes, built on nebulous chords and melodic cycles. Since 2016’s widely praised debut ‘A Hair, A Heap’ on Nice Music, Schofield has cultivated deep renown in critical circles as a thrilling and sought after live performer with appearances at Dark Mofo’s Laterne, Inner Varnika, Freedom Time and Resident Advisor’s 24/7 Melbourne, plus crucial support slots for Merzbow, Laurel Halo, Rashad Becker and more.
