visions of excess
Composition & Music, Singer/Songwriter
I’ve included the most polished recordings of my compositions over three years for my “folktronica” band Wicked Miranda, heavily inspired by the world of 60s/70s European horror/erotic/cult films. The songs are melancholy ballads in the same vein as artists such as Antony & The Johnsons, Patrick Wolf, Nico and late era PJ Harvey - dramatic and nightmarish chamber pieces with my dark, wailing vocals against my harpist sister Sarah Burgess’s dreamy melodies heightened by layers of unhinged, purely improvised string arrangements by violinist Sonja Schebeck. In my lyrics I attempt to infuse the personal with the “fantastique”, drawing from dreams, childhood memories and Australian folklore to explore themes of death, sex, desire, violence, anxiety, madness, perversion and hysteria.
