Andrew Duffield profiled: from Models to RMIT and back again
Have you ever wondered how earworms are born? Songs like I Hear Motion, Barbados or even the theme from Round The Twist?
Lecturer in music composition, keyboardist with iconic bands Models & Absent Friends, and ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Andrew Duffield doesn’t have to wonder. He’s lived a life that has delved into every musical avenue that Australia has offered, from movie and television soundtracks to top 10 charting singles, and has his hand firmly on the handle of his creative core.
More than anyone, he knows that for every blockbuster hit there are experimental first steps, for every success there are countless attempts, and behind every closed door is a new opportunity.
In the late 70’s Andrew was experimenting with sounds that could be created on his rudimentary analog synthesisers, working with visionaries like Ollie Olsen and Nick Cave.
