Michael Barkl Biography

Michael Barkl is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on August 9, 1958 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Michael Laurence Gordon Barkl OAM (born 9 August 1958) is an Australian composer and musicologist.

Barkl’s music exhibits a combination of influences from European styled modernism to jazz. An early work, Rota (1981) for piano trio, is clearly influenced by twentieth century Italian music, specifically Franco Donatoni. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was awarded segnalata in the 1981 International Valentino Bucchi Composition Competition. A pair of subsequent orchestral works, Voce di testa (1981) and Voce di petto (1982), while maintaining the Italian association through their titles, added more jazz influence, however slight. Drumming (1983) was characterised as “an exciting piano piece”, “bring[ing] together Indian tabla drumming with jazz pianism”, while Ballade (1984) for six instruments, structured as a reverie interrupting a café piano solo, brought Barkl to the attention of the critics, Roger Covell describing him “one of the most musical of younger Australian composers”. Subsequent works, such as Cabaret for orchestra, Blues for bass clarinet and percussion (based on a Charlie Parker riff), Disco for percussion quartet, Red for recorder (based on Jimi Hendrix’s Red House) and Smoky for harpsichord, developed Barkl’s jazz-inspired instrumental style until a complete change emerged with a series of lengthy electronic works composed using the open source patching language Pure Data. These used large banks of computer generated oscillators to build thick textures of sine waves, saturating the aural space.
