Kelly is an award-winning composer, musician and sound designer for theatre, dance and film. Kelly is recognised internationally for creating immersive and multi-layered musical landscapes for the stage and screen.
His recent focus has been to establish a music driven theatre/performance practice, where score not script is the driver behind a work. ANIMAL directed by Susie Dee and THE BACCHAE directed by Adena Jacobs (Melbourne Festival and Dark Mofo) are the first of these works and were received to public and critical acclaim.
He is currently creating music for a new ballet with The Australian Ballet choreographed by Lucas Jervies, and a new work for Circa directed by Yaron Lifshitz. He is the composer for the six-part TV series MORE THAN THIS with Paramount + which launched in 2022.
