Eadric Ayres is named after Eadric the Wild, a resistance fighter
in England after 1066. Eadric grew up in England, studied music and
has adventured throughout the world as a viola and cello player.
After working in an orchestra in Hong Kong, he decided to cycle
from England back to Hong Kong (that's 16,000 km), took a little
violin with him, and played to Greek shepherds, Iranian police and
Chinese truck drivers along the way. Eadric's big desire in life is
to introduce classical music to as many different people as
possible, so for ten years he worked as a broadcaster with the ABC,
ultimately presenting the popular breakfast programme. Eventually
Eadric's adventurous spirit demanded more, and he moved to
Afghanistan to teach music there for a year. Eadric was born Emma,
and transitioned just before his fiftieth birthday.

'Sonam and the Silence by the Australian broadcaster and musician Eddie Ayres is a vivid, lyrical story with the heightened feel of a fable ... Ronak Taher's mixed-media images combine sombre greys and threatening darkness with flashes of bright, rebellious colour, such as a single pomegranate lingering on a tree.' The Guardian
