You can listen to ICE - Piano Slightly Chilled (piano/chill/dance) on the Little Hartley Music myspace page - it is a sensual mix of piano and rhythm, with some vocal tracks. ICE covers chill, jazz, world and rock - with a tast of the unusual thrown into the mix.
Classically trained as a pianist, Fiona's music is thematic and melodic. With a keen eye on film she has always been interested in creating music that evokes images and emotions and tells a story. "The idea of synchronicity has always intrigued me, colours, ideas and emotions all have corresponding sounds". Also a painter, Fiona incorporates original manuscripts of her music on the canvas to create bold colourful mixed media abstracts so you can hear and see her music.
Listen and purchase at fionajoyhawkins.com.au, where you can also view paintings. You will find Fiona's albums in most good record stores or on i-tunes.
