Finn Endries is an emerging composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. His work threads the needle between folk tradition, electronic and analogue madness; microtonality and the contemporary classical; as natural with a sticky chorus as with a winding drone piece. Whether it be about Porco Rosso, a Nikolai Atrup painting, hair metal obsessed teens, or horoscopic portraits of close friends, his work often straddles between the absurd and the uncomfortably honest. They draw from a wide net of influences, ranging from Italian opera to bird formations; from algorithmic processes to Ice Age 1.

​

He has completed a bachelor degree in music composition, which culminated in a song cycle called Songs My Mother Taught Me - a research intensive project where he gathered and translated german folk songs and adapted them to his own contemporary stylings. He has worked with MSO violinist Sarah Curro in a series of performances titled The Poetry of Grief, and has had his works performed at a host of venues in Melbourne. He actively gigs with Flora, where you can catch him on his viola, or if you’re lucky, knee deep in an accordion solo.
