Camille Robinson’s career as a musician began when he was a teenager in the late 90′s as vocalist in post-punk band No Avail. Around the same time his education in guitar began in earnest under a succession of some of Melbourne’s more inspiring, bemusing, and noteworthy improvising guitarists including Tom Fryer and Elliott Folvig. From that time Camille pursued formal education as an improviser and in recent years as a composer, performed in any number of bands, and composed everything from pop songs to piano trios to sound installations.
Camille’s music is informed by Punk, Classical, Jazz, Pop, Avant-Garde Electronica, and various other streams of sound making, and attempts to make the challenging engaging and under the right circumstances, pleasurable.
Camille is interested in the visceral and tactile properties of sound, in the challenge of expressing subjective temporal experience in music, and in exploring the possibilities of composing for a broadened definition of listening, encompassing all of the ways in which the body apprehends sound and vibration.
Camille has been variously called a Composer, Improvisor, Guitarist, Songwriter, Sound Designer, Sound Artist, Producer, Cartoonist, Teacher, Conductor, Arranger, and Musical Director, and is more than happy being referred to by any of these terms.
Camille is currently undertaking postgraduate research at the Victorian College of the Arts.
