Always interested in music, from early piano lessons to the writing of lyrics, I’ve been creating music again recently through my Duo Ex Machina series and Kitty and Cadaver (Clan Destine Press). Some songs were also inspired by my love of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (with songs from John’s perspective).
Narrelle is currently in partnership with music producer Joshua King to develop the songs from Kitty and Cadaver, the Duo Ex Machina series and songs inspired by Sherlock Holmes (mostly with lyrics from John’s perspective).
Our songs are released across numerous music platforms under the name ‘Duo Ex Machina’ – check the songs out on our Duo Ex Machina YouTube channel.
Otherwise, you can find Duo Ex Machina songs on:
Melbourne band, Bronze, headed by Jess Harris, has also collaborated with me to arrange and perform songs from Kitty and Cadaver, including performing an unplugged set of six songs at the 2019 launch of the novel. To date Bronze has recorded Rain Song and Down.
I also write the occasional poem.
