Musical Biography

David Bridie was born in 1962 and grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Deepdene with three siblings. [1] [2] He attended Camberwell High School and the University of Melbourne, and received training in classical music. [3] [4] From 1980 to 1983 Bridie provided keyboards for Misspent Youth, with James Southall on percussion. [4] [5] They travelled to Perth, after their lead singer convinced them they would earn more money. [6] Bridie had dropped out of his Arts/Law degree course for the venture, but found that Perth bands performed cover versions due to "the city's penchant for Top 40 and retro hits." [6] They returned to Melbourne and he left the group soon after. [6] He was also a member of Go Circus, alongside Rowan McKinnon on bass guitar. [4]

Bridie on vocals, piano, synthesiser and percussion formed a World music duo, Not Drowning, Waving in Melbourne in 1983 with fellow classical musician John Phillips on guitar. [3] [4] [7] The pair had met at La Trobe University when Bridie invited Phillips to help record a track, "Moving Around", which had McKinnon providing bass guitar. [4] Initially Not Drowning, Waving was a studio-only project while Bridie, McKinnon, Phillips and Southall formed a performance group, Easter, with Russel Bradley on drums and Tim Cole on lead vocals. [4] [8] "Moving Around" was issued as Not Drowning, Waving's debut single in April 1984. [3] [4] The duo followed with their debut album, Another Pond, in January 1985 via Rampant Records. [3] [4] [7] It was produced by their Easter bandmate, Cole. [7]

Easter were performing shows around Melbourne and released their own single, "Cheesecloth", in August 1985. [3] Some of its members joined Not Drowning, Waving and the two groups co-existed with almost the same line-up. [4] [8] Not Drowning, Waving started live shows, while Easter wound down and eventually disbanded. [4] Bridie and Phillips also worked in screen music beginning with the soundtrack for a film documentary, Canoe Man, directed by Mark Worth. [3] [4] To research music for the documentary, Bridie had travelled to Rabaul, Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1986 and first heard George Telek's "amazing song coming out of a recording studio." [9] He returned, with Not Drowning, Waving, to Rabaul in late 1988 to record their fifth album, Tabaran (1990). Aside from Telek they used other local musicians, and the album was co-credited to The Musicians of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea featuring Telek. [3] [4] [9] They toured PNG together, including a concert at the nation's capital, Port Moresby, to an audience of 25000; and then they toured Australia. [3] [4]

In late 1989 Helen Mountfort joined Not Drowning, Waving after having provided cello on a track on Tabaran. [3] [4] [7] Bridie, with bandmates Bradley and Mountfort formed an acoustic strings-based side project, My Friend the Chocolate Cake, as a chamber pop group. [10] [11] Other founders were Andrew Caswell on mandolin, Hope Csutoros on violin and Andrew Richardson on guitar. [10] [11] They released a self-titled album in 1991 with Bridie co-producing alongside Mountfort, Carswell and Cole. [10] [11] Also in that year Not Drowning, Waving provided the soundtrack for comedy-drama film, Proof . [3] Bridie and Mountfort worked with Jen Anderson on violin (ex-the Black Sorrows) and members of Hunters & Collectors' horn section on a feature film, Hammers Over the Anvil (1993), which was issued in the following year as a soundtrack album, Hammers, credited to Not Drowning, Waving. [3] The group released their sixth and last studio album, Circus, in 1993 and disbanded by the end of the year. [3] [4] [7] [12]

AllMusic's Australian-based music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, observed that Bridie and Phillips' early work, "sparked the duo's enthusiasm for the sort of free-form ambient soundscapes that would become the basis of their sound as the group Not Drowning Waving and lay the seeds for their interest in film music." [13] Fellow Australian music historian, Ian McFarlane, noticed the influences of Brian Eno and David Byrne on the pair, but "[they] were not averse to incorporating African and other Third World rhythms into their muse. Likewise, they placed an emphasis on natural acoustic and atmospheric dynamics rather than an electronic approach." [3]

My Friend the Chocolate Cake, with Bridie and Mountfort as mainstays, issued seven studio albums before the group took an indefinite hiatus from August 2018. [14] Periodically Not Drowning, Waving have reformed in 1996, 2001, 2003 and 2005 to 2006 and released a live album. Bridie and Phillips have issued two duo albums, Projects 1983–1993 (1994) and Projects 2 (2011). After My Friend the Chocolate Cake's debut album Bridie's further work as a record producer in the mid-1990s includes Archie Roach's Jamu Dreaming (1993), Paul Kelly's Wanted Man (1994) and Christine Anu's Stylin' Up (1995). [5] [15] He joined Anu's touring band in support of her album's release throughout 1995. [15] At the ARIA Music Awards of 1995 he was nominated for Producer of the Year. [16]

During 1998 he recorded a soundtrack album, In a Savage Land (November 1999), for a feature film of the same name, [15] which was set and partly filmed on PNG's Trobriand Islands. [17] He had collaborated with Musicians from the Trobriand Islands. [15] His score received widespread critical acclaim, Andrew L. Urban of Urban Cinefile praised the film's "unity of vision", in using "a wide palette of extraordinary music and sound." [18] His work achieved multiple awards, Best Original Score at the 1999 AFI Awards, Best Music Score from the Film Critics Circle of Australia, and Best Original Soundtrack Album at the 2000 ARIA Awards. Upon reflection Bridie explained to Paris Pompor of FilmInk in 2017 why it was one of his favourite projects, "[it] allowed me to soak in the Trobriand Islands' culture and stay in a beach shack for eight weeks recording anything that moved and learning about a fascinating part of the world. It was dark, cultural and layered and challenging and I had free rein." [19]

His first solo studio album, Act of Free Choice, appeared in May 2000, [15] [20] [21] and "was greeted with critical praise." [15] The album's title refers to the Indonesian Act of Free Choice (1969), which was supported by a plebiscite on the incorporation of Western New Guinea into Indonesia. [22] [23] Bridie's Act of Free Choice reached the top 40 on the ARIA Albums Chart. [24] Evan Cater of AllMusic rated it at three-out-of-five stars and explained, "[he] finds new layers in his well-established gift for moody atmospherics" although "his breathy tenor can be slightly grating", while "his real strength lies in a compositional adventurousness." [25] PopMatters ' Imran Khan determined, "[he] created a new world of sound to explore, one that would define him as an artist as well as create a sonic visual that would allow the listener to enter that world and immerse himself in the emotional experience created from the album’s imagined realities." [20] In 2019 he received the Don Banks Music Award. [26]

Personal life

Bridie is a father of two daughters, is divorced, and lived in the inner North suburbs of Melbourne (Northcote >2009 and Ballantyne St., Thornbury, 2009-2021) for much of his adult life. In 2021 he moved to an off-grid property close to the Otway National Park on Victoria's Shipwreck Coast. [27]

He travels widely. His first trip overseas was to Papua New Guinea in 1986, encouraged to do so by a filmmaker, Mark Worth. [28] He still makes extended trips to Rabaul, Papua New Guinea where his friendship with musician Sir George Telek began and where his band recorded an album. He speaks Tok Pisin and had gone through Tubuan initiation rites at the invitation of the community. This is documented in a 2023 film, Abebe-Butterfly Song directed by Rosie Jones, which includes extensive archival footage of Bridie and Telek. [29]

At the launch of the film at the Melbourne International Film Festival in August 2023 Bridie revealed he has ADHD, takes on many projects at the same time, with uneven effects on his health and well-being.
