Welcome to AKG Music

AKG Music is the blog of composer Annette K Golden.

At the beginning of 2008, Annette Golden decided to return to her first love, music, following a successful career in corporate law spanning over a decade. During (and more often in spite of!!) her career in law, Annette maintained her enthusiasm and commitment for music by composing and arranging in a number of genres for small ensembles, as well as playing and recording on the acoustic and electric violin for various bands in Sydney. Annette also maintained her fascination for musicology and ethnomusicology developed during her earlier B. Mus studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Since establishing a digital home recording studio earlier this year, Annette Golden is now furthering her composing and music production skills. While continuing to write for ensembles, she is also keen to collaborate with other art and media forms, including film, television, theatre and choreography. Annette is also focusing on compositions for the electric violin using the technical and soundscape advances made possible by midi software, loop and other effects devices which have featured in the development of this instrument over the past 3-4 decades.

Underpinning the above is her desire to understand and and appreciate the way sound informs and enriches our perception of the world and each other.
