I spoke at length to Julian Williams on his Parallel Islands radio show in December 2024, covering the history of Shame File Music, key releases, my own music and many other topics.
Listen to the whole show in 2 parts here:
The venue – Spit – is in Irving St, Footscray – not particularly signed (intentionally, I reckon). Contact me for precise details, or them on Instagram.
My live performance with Barnaby Oliver at New North in May 2023 has been released online via the New North Bandcamp page:
I have a couple of gigs in Sydney on the last weekend in September, at each I’ll be playing both solo sets and collaborative sets with artists I greatly admire as well. I have never actually played in Sydney before, so come along to one or both gigs and say hello.
As Weather #1 Saturday 28 September, 6-9pm – Trumper Park Pond, Trumper Park, Paddington.
I’ll be playing a solo set at the pond, followed by a collaborative set with Jim Denley and Uma Volkmer. Jim says: ‘This will be the first of occasional “As Weather” concerts around Sydney. All events will be by donation – contribute what you can. All weather event (within reason). Kid’s and critters welcome – in fact are co-creators’ – Facebook event
The People’s Republic Sunday 29 September, doors 6pm, music from 7pm – The Red House, Earlwood.

My new album is out (tomorrow, 6 September) on NCTMMRN, available digitally and on limited edition of 30 CDRs. These materials come out of the “A Conduit” sessions of the past year, and resemble them in some ways, but explore a few different directions.
Reflecting on these compositions, I keep coming back to the idea of “subtraction”. The first two pieces in particular began with much more material involved compositionally; much of which was eventually stripped away, leaving very basic, minimal material. I worked with what was left; stretching it, working with the absences, seeing what I could find within. “Out of the Fog” is perhaps some sort of resolution; although it did start as a longer track that was edited down.
“Stopcock” was recorded July-August 2023, with malfunctioning Walkmans playing loose parts of themselves (speakers) rather than cassettes. This track is previously unreleased and emerged from the sessions that formed my recent “A Conduit” album. It’s presented here for the first time as an episode of Radia (the internet radio project). Thanks to Sally McIntyre for inviting me to contribute (photo by Colin Hodson).
My new album Lucid Lucid Lucid Lucid Lucid Lucid is out on NCTMMRN Records on 6 September 2024. It will be issued digitally and on a limited edition of 30 handmade CDRs in gatefold sleeve.
