Fia Fiell
Fia Fiell is the moniker of Carolyn Schofield, a Vietnamese-Australian composer, pianist and performer of synthesiser-based ambient and experimental electronic music. Drawing on her classical training, Carolyn performs as a keyboardist on multiple synthesisers, playing and processing them in real time to create otherworldly and unsettling soundscapes. Wielding an improvisational, elastic approach to time and rhythm, she creates deeply evocative and arresting electronic compositions that feel as powerful and confronting as they do warm, organic and intimate. Carolyn has performed at festivals including Dark Mofo’s Laterne, Inner Varnika, Freedom Time and Open Frame: Room40, and has had compositions commissioned by Melbourne Recital Centre, Arts Centre Melbourne and Play On.
