A circus runaway interested in all things tuneful and noisy, Carl’s work encompasses a large variety of theatrical musicality and performance. Born in the misty depths of the last millennium, Carl began studying and performing diverse musical styles through the 80’s, until the 90’s saw him touring the world with Circus Oz as Musical Director and performer. Carl has since maintained a strong relationship with Australian contemporary circus and continues to work with companies such as Circa, Circus Monoxide and The Flying Fruitfly Circus, as well as composing and producing music for theatre, his score for Flying Blind (Legs on the Wall) winning a 2002 Canadian Jessie Award, and his score for “On the Case” receiving a 2006 Helpmann Award nomination. Recently, he has composed and performed with both The Flying Fruitfly Circus and Circus Monoxide, and is involved with a newly formed experimental music/noise band FreeQuestra.
