"Bruce's musical vision is simply stunning and his compositions capture the essence and mood of Australia's varied landscapes!"- Sorrel Wilby Australian Geographic
BRUCE MATHISKE GUITAR/DIDGERIDOO Bruce Mathiske’s music is a reflection of his strong outback roots firmly planted in the remote Mallee district of red dust and dirt, farmlands and roads that stretch on toward unmet horizons and endless starry skies. He weaves together these outback plains & river systems, the colours & sounds of Australia’s vibrant coastline with the rhythms and styles of cultures from the Mediterranean, South American, Ireland and England that now make up Australia’s melting pot of rich and colourful cultures. Mathiske is an elegant and sophisticated composer and performer, delivering musical images that feature didgeridoo, alongside virtuoso guitar playing. His music has evolved into an exciting and unique style all of his own as he effortlessly blends Australia’s traditional and modern cultural influences. His music has been featured in numerous ABC documentaries and TV stories but most notably he has composed the entire soundtrack for the Australian Geographic series THE BEST OF AUSTRALIA.
