developed a strong improvisational technique, which she applies
to her compositions and performance in bands. Under the guidance
of Pete de Visser (MD Channel 9/Hey Hey and Carols by Candlelight)
she has studied and workshopped contemporary band arranging. She
regularly applies these skills to live band arranging and digital
music for multimedia and film. In 2003 she composed the theme
song and score for the Deakin University graduate film student
production, 'Matchgirl' and provided ambient music for RMIT's
electronic training program on mental health. 2006 saw her add
composing projects for DVD documentaries to her skill set while
maintaining a live performance schedule.
Meliki
has long written instrumental tunes but more recently turned her
attention to songwriting and now has a growing catalogue of songs
of which samples can be heard on the originals>music
page. This draws on her other interest in literature. She is a
keen reader of fantasy fiction and mythology and has written award
winning short stories. She can also re-record them as instrumental
tunes for soundtracks.
She
released her debut CD in 2008 touring overseas with it in 2009 and is completing a follow up guitar instrumental
CD in 2010. She
has also turned her attention to studying electronic music composition
on syntheziers integrating workstation tools such as Reason 4,
Pro Tools and Sibelious. She volunteered at SYN Radio and TV in
various production, presenting and operational aspects to expand
her knowledge in collaborating with film and media artists.
