Emma Ovenden is a composer and musician known for her melancholy, unconventional beats. She pushes the creative envelope with a computer-less setup, producing highly crafted and moving works of song with synths, voice and a restricted palette of beats. She grew up playing traditional folk music in her family of origin, cementing a deep, natural relationship to harmony and learning by ear. Since completing a contemporary music degree in Vocal Performance, songwriting has come to the fore for Emma. A prolific maker of music and visual artwork, Emma has played in the Naarm (Melbourne) underground scene since 2014.
