Fiona Hill is a composer specialising in electroacoustics and immersive sound. Described as having “powerful emotional impact” (The Advertiser), she often explores the dichotomy between the natural and industrial worlds, attempting to find the beauty and resilience of the human psyche where worlds collide. Currently undertaking a PhD at Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Fiona is a graduate from the Master of Arts Screen Music program at the Australian Film Television and Radio School. Awards include the APRA AGSC women in screen music mentorship (2019), APRA AMCOS Art Music Fund (2018), Ensemble Offspring’s Noisy Women Commission (2017) and an Australia Council grant to study electroacoustics at IRCAM (2009).
