Video and photos from a very special instalment of Quiet Noise on 17 March 2018. Music from Snacks, Simon Charles & ensemble, Ernie Althoff and myself.
Performances
At The Night Heron, Footscray, Saturday 7 April 2018
I’m playing a solo set at the Night Heron on Saturday 7 April, along with ZÖJ (Gelareh Pour & Brian O’Dwyer) and Daniel Tucceri.
Gelareh has one of those special voices. When you hear her sing, you know it is a privilege to be in the same room as such a voice.
Taking inspiration, I will be using as source material flexi-discs featuring the voices of young women from Japan and Pakistan.

CURRENT 2017/18
Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 February 2018, 1:30-10:30pm
Aeso Studio, 83 Brunswick St, Fitzroy (enter through laneway at rear via Palmer St)
$10 per day, or $15 for both days.
CURRENT has been a significant event in the Melbourne improvised music and performance calendar for several years now, and this year I’ve been humbled in being asked by founder Ren Walters to guest curate it along with Michael McNab.
Michael and I have spent that past few months planning a two day structure that will see a ragtag bunch of 30 performers (musicians, poets, dancers, visual artists, performance artists, and ‘in-betweeners’) divided up into new ensembles to improvise. Each performer will perform twice, once on Saturday and then again on Sunday in a completely different ensemble. We were on PBS-FM’s The Sound Barrier last night discussing it – listen here.

This new CD is a live recording of the complete version of my piece ‘Setting for “The Iliad”‘, based around excerpts of Peter Green’s translation of Homer’s epic. Different versions of this piece have appeared elsewhere; including an early live excerpt on ‘Lay Your High City Low’, and a studio version broadcast on Ears Have Ears last year, but this is your first chance to own the complete work itself.
