As a composer, several recent works by Gordon Hamilton subvert expectations of the orchestra, including Thum Prints and 482 Variations on a Very Short Theme. His Action Hero pairs the recorded voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger with orchestra. In December 2018 he travelled to Antarctica to compose a symphony. In 2019 Gordon conducted WDR Funkhausorchester, the Nürnberger Symphoniker, SWP Konstanz, the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in Riceboy Sleeps with Jónsi from Sigur Rós and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Gordon has arranged and conducted several crossover projects, including with Hiphop duo Horrorshow, Thundamentals and Cuban pianist Marialy Pacheco. In 2018 he collaborated with rapper-poet Luka Lesson on Macquarie, an interrogation of the legacy of Lachlan Macquarie. Gordon became Artistic Director in 2009 of The Australian Voices (TAV). Gordon’s choral opera Moon toured with TAV to Australia, Germany and to the Edinburgh Fringe. In 2014 TAV made international headlines with their video of Rob Davidson’s Not Now, Not Ever!—a musicalisation of former PM Julia Gillard’s famous ‘misogyny’ speech.
