Melbourne-born musician Melpomeni is keeping herself busy in the studio after she shortlisted the songs for her upcoming albums.
“After sailing the North Sea countless times, where so many songs from my forthcoming album were born, the arduous task of shortlisting songs and then deciding which ones will make the album took place today. I feel sad for the songs that didn’t make it – they feel like miscarriages,” said the artist.
She says her studio – the lighthouse – has been filled with inspiration in the last months, following a scholarship to the Arvon Centre, a poetry foundation with prize winning tutors.
“The Arvon centre is in Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath’s house in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, so it was a fitting place to write the kind of words that I do,” she says, saying she’s having “withdrawals” now that the scholarship has come to and end.
