Music

Frank's music ranges from experimental compositions to songs written for theatre, film and live performance. Much of his work is also connected to painting and other art forms through his approach to Dialectic Art and RADE.

Dialectic Abstract Music — Voice

In these experimental vocal compositions, Frank explores contrasting emotions through dissonant melodies, using vowel sounds rather than lyrics.

The pieces are examples of his Dialectic Art approach expressed through the human voice.

Dialectic Abstract Classical Music

Frank composed this collection of classical music for a planned Visual Art Opera, developing the compositions alongside a photograph he had taken.

The music and photograph are connected through his Dialectic Art approach, exploring how the same artistic ideas can be expressed through different mediums.

Sita: Uncut

Sita: Uncut brings together songs Frank has written for musicals, screenplays and other stage productions over the years.

Alongside the music, Frank has developed a series of interconnected paintings. Some reflect the feelings expressed in the songs, while others deliberately contrast with them, forming part of his ongoing exploration of Dialectic Art.

Out of the Blue

Earlier in his musical career, Frank performed with Best Kept Secret, who won the Victorian Battle of the Bands competition and went on to represent the state at the national finals in Sydney, where they lost to The Screaming Jets.

The competition led to a publishing opportunity and the recording of Out of the Blue, an important project from Frank's early years as a songwriter and recording artist.
