Over a 35 year career, David Bridie has made a name for himself as a songwriter, composer & producer.
From the global impact of his seminal 1980s and 1990s alt-pop groups Not Drowning Waving and My Friend The Chocolate Cake to his ongoing work as a solo artist and soundtrack composer, the scope of David’s output and influence are matched by few Australian artists.
Music
A stripped back celebratio of song, landscap adn introspection from his vast back catalogue. The album was recorded on a rare 1908 Bechstein piano, once owned by French horn maestro Barry Tuckwell. The instrument belonged to his friend Karen and following her passing, her partner Peter invited David to honour her memory by recording an album on the cherished piano in their living room. The result is a quietly intimate record—steeped in warmth, musical space, and the quiet grace of remembrance.
