Fifty years after her debut recording Marcia Hines reflects on a life and career full of stories, and Evelyn Ida Morris finds their voice through improvisation on the piano. Marcia Hines marks fifty years since her debut recording this year, but her life in music started long before that. Raised with gospel in Boston, she was at Woodstock when she was 16 and then shortly after on her way to Australia to star in the local production of Hair. And then she stayed. After Hair came touring in a jazz band with B.B. King, then Jesus Christ Superstar, before being crowned Queen of Pop. A huge career across pop, jazz, disco and more followed and is still going with Marcia on tour across her adopted Australia now.Evelyn Ida Morris’ most recent release is a record of a single long improvisation on solo piano, which they performed in response to the artwork of Elizabeth Newman. Titled Extended Time, the music is inspired not only by the paintings themselves but by the people looking at them in the gallery, an intimate portrait of experiencing art. It’s a new point in the journey for Morris, who started as a drummer in punk bands before recording looping synth pop under the moniker Pikelet for many years before settling into their own identity with their 2018 self-titled album on Milk! Records.

Episode Sixteen: Evelyn Ida Morris

Evelyn Ida Morris, best known as Pikelet, is a gifted musician, celebrated for their dexterity across multiple instruments and for songwriting that is complex and structurally adventurous. Since 2007, Morris has released four albums as Pikelet, an experimental pop act, winning ‘The Age’ Music Victoria Award for Best Experimental Musician and being shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize. In 2014, Morris co-founded LISTEN, an advocacy group focused on creating discourse around gender diversity and politics in Australian music. This year Evelyn Morris will release their first self titled album under ‘Evelyn Ida Morris’. The album represents a significant departure from the looping pop of Pikelet, for which Evelyn is best known. It builds on the structural complexity of that project, but focuses wholly on piano – huge, wild, racing, dexterous piano. These new works are lush, postclassical compositions, frequently referencing Debussy and Ravel. Thematically, they deal with the experience of being non-binary and making sense of that experience. Recently voted one of the ’50 Most Powerful People in the Australian Music Industry’, Evelyn uses they/them pronouns and does not identify as female or male.
