Tess Cunningham’s filmic new release Songs Without Words drops online this July.
A collection of beautiful melodies, arranged simply with unique vocal production techniques, reflect the feeling of London – and the pull of home.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Tess is influenced by Prokofiev, Elgar and Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe. Always drawing vivid inspiration from her days as a ballet dancer, she composes with choreography in mind. Speaking of her creative process, Tess said: “My imagined dances feed into my compositions – through dance and music I’m reminded that life cycles and changes wherever you are in the world. I like to think that I’ll bloom wherever I play my piano”
Interested in visual art as an exploration of music, a visual accompaniment for Onward combines the perpetual motion of the music with a moving feast for the eyes, evoking the colours and textures of the Australian landscape.
Songs Without Words is streaming from Friday 12 July, and available on Bandcamp and iTunes. To listen to the album for coverage or review, head here: https://soundcloud.com/midnightcatrecords/sets/songs-without-words-tess-cunningham/s-2ymVP

Bio: Born in Melbourne Australia, Tess began her creative life as a ballet dancer and began classical piano lessons aged 8. More interested in composing pieces and choreographing dances, Tess danced professionally before moving to London and immersing herself in music composition and recording. She has a side project performing and releasing with her band Tess in Venice, where she prefers to play electric guitar or her own self described ‘piano-core songs’ reflecting her more rebellious side and through which she has released several EPS and singles.
