Free initial lessons for First Nations musicians

Mish Szekelyhidi (b.1993) is an ambitious artist about to embark on Graduate Studies at the University of Melbourne's VCA, focusing on the drum set and composition. They have played at Mona Foma, attended prestigious workshops with the Australian Art Orchestra, and are currently gigging around Melbourne.

Mish is currently freelancing as a sound engineer, photographer, videographer and drum teacher. They specialise in drum set improvisation, and more deeply in the continuously growing music technology sphere and its many contiguous and tangential fields, such as recording, mixing, mastering for music, film and theatre; sound design and composition; building physical and digital instruments; acoustics; the philosophical discipline of phenomenology of sound; and the accessibility and decolonisation of sound studies.

Their sound work for documentary and fiction film has played around the world, including in the prestigious Locarno, FIDMarseille, and the shorts section of Cannes, and for films which have won awards in Torino and Monterrey. Their musical performance highlight is playing the main stage at Mona Foma January 2021.
