Here’s some video of my performance with acoustic turntable and live video projection at LongPlay last November. I’ve had this concept in mind for a few years, so it was great to come to grips with the technology and make it happen. I hope to develop it more in future.
January is often ‘video editing’ month for me, so hopefully I’ll have some more video up from activities over the past few months up soon.
Some phone footage looking up at Michael McNab and myself playing the inside of a grain silo last month during the THIS Ensemble Mallee tour.
I have performed at many CURRENT events since it began in 2012, and I’m pleased to be a part of this year’s iteration, taking place next Friday (16 December 2016, from 6pm) at Moreland City Band Hall. CURRENT began with the basic premise of creating new trios of improvisers who had never played together previously, and has developed over the years to also include dancers and visual artists. This year, CURRENT returns to its musical roots featuring only instrumentalists, with each trio based around a young up-and-coming drummer. None of us know who we will be playing with, until Ren Walters tells us on the night.
Here are some photos from my recent visit with Ren Walters at his Artist In Residence stay at the Museum of Innocence Mildura (MIM), and the THIS Ensemble tour through the Mallee that followed. Most of the artworks pictured are by Ren. With Juana Beltran, Carmen Chan, Michael McNab, Candice Boyd, and various extraordinary locals, drifters and vagabonds. Life without fear.
Solo performance at Soundings, Footscray (13 November 2016):
Public space performance with Carmen Chan & Michael McNab, part of Carmen’s Do You See What I Hear? project, Box Hill Central (18 November 2016):
Previously-unreleased short track available now on this compilation album “1 Minute Autohypnosis 37th” CD/mailart/online release (Mute Sound). The brief was to provide a track to a maximum of 1 minute length. “Cushion Beat 2 (canon)” was created by recording the sound of my fingernails against a cushion, then cutting up that recording and over-laying snippets in a canon-like arrangement.
The album is available both online and as a CD/mailart object. Listen to the album here (my contribution is track 7).
