Christine Caulfield
Christine has has been playing violin since the age of 7 but gave up in her teens (to a lasting regret) and didn’t restart until her early 20s. She currently plays violin with the Harrogate Philharmonic Orchestra, contemporary ensemble "Midnight Llama", 'dark' rock band "Helicopter Quartet" and has toured internationally and recorded with progressive rock band Crippled Black Phoenix.
As a composer, Christine is largely self-taught, but has taken tuition and advice from anyone who will listen. Her compositional style is eclectic and takes in a number of diverse influences from the baroque masters to Schnittke, Swedish folk music, Pink Floyd and silly noises you can make by hitting a cheap fiddle with a paint brush. She is, as Douglas Adams would have it, “a great fan of science” and frequently uses scientific and mathematical themes in her music, though is not above tweaking mathematical systems for musical effect.
Although highly technically literate she prefers to compose sat in a comfortable arm-chair using a pencil and manuscript paper. Oh, and a calculator ... and maybe a martini. She lives in Leeds with several cats, some strange instruments, and possibly too many microphones.
