About

The music of Sydney-based composer Anthony Moles has been described as being ‘full of mechanistic drive and flair’ (Move Records), ‘electrifying and lively’ (Sydney Arts Guide) yet ‘containing moments of lapidary stillness at its centre’ (The Music Trust). The Sydney Morning Herald called his piano piece Diabolic Machines ’a virtuosic showstopper’.

Anthony’s music has been performed by some of Australia’s leading musicians, and recent performances and recordings of his work include The Tree of Life, Kharis, Leo and The Tower. You can watch recent performances of his music here.  

Anthony is an aspiring music scientist with a Graduate Diploma in Psychology from the Sydney University of Technology. Anthony’s research interests are the social and applied psychology of music, namely how individual differences and social contexts shape our attitudes toward music, and how music engagement can improve wellbeing. Anthony is a member of Dr Amanda Krause’s Researching Everyday Music Listening lab and is continuing his psychology studies at James Cook University.  

Anthony is also a mental health worker and aspiring clinical psychologist. He works as a psychosocial support worker and has been a music mentor for at-risk youth. He builds meaningful relationships with clients and has a warm, empathetic nature.
