I wrote about The Instrument Builders Project exhibition in Melbourne in late 2014, and this piece is included in the new book documenting the project Hits from the Gong, along with full colour documentation of artists and instruments, as well as other writings by Joel Stern, Helen Hughes and more. Copies are available from Shame File Music.
Ren Walters has written blog posts on two recent events I played small roles in:
My previously-unreleased track “Vinyl Cut-Ups” is on the recently-released Cluster compilation CD, issued by Cluster Magazine. You can order for $5 from here.

Some video put together by Ren Walters from the 12 hour event I did with Ren and Michael McNab at Conduit Arts earlier this year on 19 March.
My 2011 ‘RPMs 2’ cassette was released in 2011 by Altered States. Now sold out, it’s been reissued online for free streaming/download by Shame File Music. This is the second in a series of albums I released on various labels from 2010 to 2012 documenting the RPMs series of compositions for turntables (see Discography for details).
GAIP ‘gather’
GAIP in conjunction with TESTING GROUNDS presents gather a 24 hour performance event on May 14/15, 2016 at Testing Grounds, 1 – 23 City Road, Southbank, Saturday 6:00 pm. until Sunday 6:00 pm.
From the GAIP website:
gather will function, in part, as a closing ceremony, marking the end of a chapter for Testing Grounds (which will undergo a major upgrade over winter).
There will be no programmed performances, instead, spontaneous, adhoc, on-the-spot collaborations, and an improvisational approach to performance of any material will be the predominant mode of relation, forming a constantly negotiated improvisational ecology.

Avantwhatever Monthly
Wednesday May 18, 2016, 7pm at The Alderman (upstairs), 134 Lygon Street, Brunswick East.
Intersection 2
Thursday May 19, 2016, 11am-1pm, cnr of Swanston and La Trobe Streets, Melbourne.
Event orchestrated by Ren Walters, following on from last year’s Intersection event (video below).
Carmen Chan has taken out second prize in the Chapel Street Art Town awards. Carmen’s work drew on a four hour street performance earlier this year with myself and Llara Goodall, and incorporated video, audio and visual art work created during this time into the resulting multi-media piece. Congratulations, Carmen!
Carmen’s and other works are being exhibited at Chapel Off Chapel until 14 May 2016.
