Sounds Like
The wind worries corrugated surfaces,
dragging knuckles over the washboard of the world.
Carried by an ocean without water
- a deluge -
debris collects at the high tideline of my heart.
Three yellow leaves,
and three grey feathers caked with ashen grit.
A spindle of wild grass and a thresh of dry eucalypt leaves.
A pale yellow gum blossom,
skirts lifted about a red stamen.
A hollow plastic fish with a red snout, drained of Soya Sauce.
Two small white feathers,
a curl of raw bark,
a scar of treated pine.
The unkissed lip of a broken bottle.
I pick through the trash and treasure
searching for unconscious connections
between images that could untwine the mystery between us;
if it worked like that,
would I be fractured under the weight of insight,
or would I wear the understanding lightly?
It isn't easy here,
in the skin of the writer,
the skin of the musician.
Am I a roughly assembled rag doll of interdisciplinary aspirations,
or am I becoming my natural potential?
How dangerous are questions?
Why do I feel so barely stitched together?
My insides of woman barely covered,
my ambition a makeshift tourniquet rather than a divas finery.
A bit rough around the edges?
A bit rough all over.
I am not a machine,
but if I run all the time, will I run down,
or break the last horse of hope?
Am I stretched too thin?
Or is it that I have been shredded apart so much
that there is more wounded territory than whole?
Only the wind roars within and without,
calling 'Where will the stillness come from?'

   About Talie Helene
Gordon Quote


Singer & Songwriter
Soprano & Instrumentalist

Having "served my apprenticeship" playing with some wonderful exponents of music in Australia, I'm striking out to pursue my own songwriting and composition ability. It's a very exciting time. While I am currently studio-focused, I am on hiatus from concerted gigging.

My latest release is the compilation and multimedia anthology Black Box, where my composition The Black Queen appears in the company of such luminaries of dark music as Dandelion Wine, Empyrean, Frankenbok, Opera Macabre, Pathogen, Temujin, The Eternal, Virgin Black and Wendy Rule. You can purchase Black Box directly from Brimstone Press.


BT review
BT review

I'm about to embark on an audio arts collaboration with excellent writer and all-round creative Andrew Macrae, called The Sound Collector - watch the blog for news on that!

Check back at this site to hear uploads of new original tracks, and watch the development of my debut solo EP and other exciting projects!

Available for
Filmscore Composition

I have one film score project currently in development - details yet to be announced.

I'm not one of those alt-pop-otherwise musicians who flippantly thinks they'll turn their hand to film music, without learning it is a different art from songwriting, requiring a particular set of technical and musical skills which in concert with other film disciplines serve storytelling. I have studied film scoring for two years with Brett Rosenberg (Half Light, Hotel de Love), and am currently studying film music and sound design with John Phillips (Not Drowning Waving, numerous scores solo and with David Bridie).

I'm proficient with Sibelius 5 and Logic Studio 8, and am currently studying electronic music technology with former Metropolis in-house engineer Tim Johnston (Tim's credits include Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Badloves, The Cruel Sea, Even, The Waifs, Lisa Miller, Tex Perkins, and Stereophonics), and artistic music production and advanced Protools editing with multi-ARIA award winning producer, engineer, composer and musician Tok Norris.

When convenient, I intend to apply for a further media mentorship through W.I.F.T. with another noted composer of music for screen.


Session Player
By Appointment

I'm available for paying studio and live work - be it for soprano vocals, keyboard, double bass or electric bass. My sight-reading in bass clef is highly proficient, and I'm familiar with following music directorial cues (vamping, etc) in a music theatre band context.

I've had the pleasure of working with the following diverse artists, as a full ensemble member or hired gun -

  • The Tenth Stage (soprano vocals, double bass) [Steampunk Gothic Cabaret]
  • Wendy Rule (soprano vocals, keyboards, double bass) [Pagan Folk Rock]
  • Eden (keyboards) [Psychedelic Gothic Ethereal]
  • Maroondah Symphony (principal contrabass) [Orchestral]
  • Saba Persian Orchestra (principal contrabass) [Orchestral / World Music]
  • Hobbs' Angel of Death (keyboards) [Thrash / gestures toward Black Metal]
  • Portrayal (keyboards, electric bass) [Progressive Doom]
  • MD Productions Presents Stephen Sondheim's Into The Woods (double bass, electric bass) [Music Theatre]
  • Bill's Singers (soprano vocals) [Choral / Music Theatre]
  • numerous recitals and student ensembles.

  • I'm pretty easy going with rehearsing; I only have two "rules" - 1.) I prefere not to jam on double bass longer than one hour (not including orchestral and music theatre rehearsals). 2.) I won't rehearse at volumes in excess of standard music industry OH&S. (If you don't understand the science of time/dB ratio and preserving your optimal hearing for music, get yourself an education by checking out the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook at your local library - it isn't rocket science! If you think rehearsals are for "feeling the power" - shouldn't you be in Man0war, or at least dubiously covered by a loincloth and Robert E Howardesque man-girdle?)


    Creative Media Professional
    Creative Writer & Journalist

    I publish freelance music and arts journalism, poetry and non-fiction, and am aspiring to publish some fiction soon. I have poetry published in a number of Australian literary journals (Voiceworks, Inscape, Venn Diagram, Inkshed, Avant), and Mary Manning's ABOUT POETRY (Oxford University Press.)


    I'm proud to write professionally for internationally distributed cutting-edge extreme music magazine ZERO TOLERANCE; ZT is available in the UK at WHSmith and high street newsagents, in North America from Barnes & Noble, in select Australian and New Zealand newsagents (distributed by Warner) as well as from Mag Nation, and by subscription from www.ztmag.com.


    You'll find my column Waltzing Macabre in gorgeously-presented glossy magazine BLACK - AUSTRALIAN DARK CULTURE available at newsagents around Australia (distributed by Gordon+Gotch) as well as Borders. Black is also available by subscription from Brimstone Press.

    I'm NEWS EDITOR for the the Australian Horror Writers Association, and in that capacity I'm a regular contributor to the award winning webzine HorrorScope: The Australian Dark Fiction Weblog. My reviews also appear at another award winning webzine ASif! I'm owner of the dark fiction writers' community Darklands - where all emerging and established writers are welcome.

    Other places my journalism has appeared include Northern Shadows, Widdershins, Beat Magazine, The Box, Raw Nerve, Cosmic Doom, Post-Mortum e-Journal, and Encyclopaedia Metallum. I also enjoy gig photography, and have sold a number of live music shots to Zero Tolerance Magazine and Beat Magazine.

    I like to journal and visually play with ideas when I have time, so I keep a Livejournal and an Elfwood Gallery.


    Education & Professional Development
    The Journey Continues

    As an ever-evolving artist, I believe in the value of balancing real-world industry work and higher academic development, and so I'm a part-time student studying for a Diploma of Professional Writing & Editing at the University of Ballarat. I hold a Certificate IV in Music Industry (Technical Production), and am completing a Diploma of Music Industry (Technical Production) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT). I have attained Grade 4 in Double Bass and Grade 7 in Singing through the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB), and am preparing Grade 5 Double Bass, Grade 4 Piano, and Grade 8 Singing. I study classical singing with the wonderful teacher and highly experienced opera and music theatre performer Bill Bamford.

    Professional Development Courses I have undertaken include:

  • Writing Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror with Dirk Strasser & Stephen Higgins (editors, Aurealis Magazine) [Holmesglen Institute]
  • Writing Sex & Death with Lucy Sussex [Victorian Writers' Centre]
  • Young Musicians' Workshop [Victorian Jazz Club]
  • 2 years of Vocal Technique Workshop with Bill Bamford *
  • 1 year of Bass Technique Workshop *
  • 1 year of Rhythm Section Workshop with Ed Bates *
  • 2 years of Keyboard Performance Workshop with Peter Hurley *
  • 2 years of Film Scoring classes with Brett Rosenberg *
  • 6 months Music Production & Production Styles training with ARIA Award-winning producer/engineer Kalju Tonuma *
  • [* = all at Box Hill Centre for Performing Arts]

    I've also been accepted into the Australian Horror Writers' Association mentorship program, but have deferred my mentorship while my mentor Paul Haines battles cancer. I chose not to re-enter the program with another mentor because I know Paul will pull through - and if you've read Paul's amazing fiction you'll understand when I say - how could there possibly be a substitute?!!

    SEEKING MUSIC INDUSTRY INTERNSHIPS

    During 2009 I am sourcing music industry internship placements for my studies at RMIT, in the areas of studio and sound stage recording, music marketing and PR, music publishing, venue management, and record/distribution label operations. If you think I might be a good fit for your organization, drop me a line. My supervisor at RMIT (Jill Shelton) can walk you through the very easy process of getting a bright and enthusiastic volunteer on board. I bring a wealth of professional music industry experience with me, and my command of written expression is an asset in many situations. (Please note: I'm not seeking experience in the field of live sound technician; with respect, the OH&S of live mixing doesn't mesh well with composition, studio production, orchestral playing and serious singing.)


    Addendum: please note the code for my Top Friends was scrambled in a redesign; I am currently rebuilding my Top Friends, a slow process with MySpace's convoluted interface - if you were featured there, I'll be restoring you to that place ASAP, so please perceive no slight!
