One of the most influential bands in rock history, Half Japanese was founded in the bedroom of brothers Jad and David Fair in 1974. Ignoring musical conventions like chords, rhythms, melody, and song structure, the brothers pioneered DIY and Lo-Fi punk aesthetics simply by being themselves. Passionate, fearless, and relentlessly unique, they self-recorded and self-released by mailing out cassettes with handmade packaging, pressing their own vinyl, and brazenly marketing their music with bizarre magazine ads. This unbridled enthusiasm for the act of creating rock music led them to record dozens of amazing records (including the classic albums "1/2 Gentleman/Not Beasts" and "Charmed Life"), and to inevitably influence countless artists such as Sonic Youth, Neutral Milk Hotel, Daniel Johnston, Kurt Cobain, and many many more.

Their first album in 13 years, "Overjoyed", shows the band's aggressiveness as well as its friendly charisma. Produced by John Dieterich of Deerhoof, the 12 songs on "Overjoyed" are unlike anything in the bands catalog, each unapologetically positive and surprisingly accessible. "Overjoyed" contains a deep purity, exceptionally rare amongst "reunion albums". They neither attempt to recreate their old sound, nor are they aware of current musical trends and conventions.  As a result they sidestep common pitfalls and create something new, interesting, and needed.

The first single and opening track is "In Its Pull". The song struts with confidence and exemplifies the magical in-the-moment glee that Half Japanese exudes. It pumps out a straightforward yet enticingly erratic rock pulse that paves the way for the rest of the album.

The meditative, calm second movement of my Second Piano Concerto, "Confluence," is a reconstruction of a Hakka folk tune.

Piano Concerto No. 2 "Confluence" 2nd Movement

You would be excused for thinking, listening to my stuff on here, that I'm some kind go manic depressive, I'm really not though. It's just that everything I do sounds sad. Whenever I play piano, it sounds sad, my orchestral stuff, sounds sad, etc.

Something I've been messing about with for a week or so now. It will hopefully be my final PhD portfolio piece. It's meant for an ensemble and will feature lots of improvisation.

An updated version of this piece that I've been working on for the last week or so.

Composing for this kind of ensemble is a new thing for me. This is hopefully one of the final pieces for my PhD portfolio. I just need to find a group of musicians to perform and record it for me.

Quite fitting for International Women's Day (the track was first uploaded on soundcloud (08/03), the speech is from Amelia Earhart, a great pilot from in between the two world wars. She talks about the benefits from technological advances, especially for women - fitting in the (overly?) positive view on progress of mankind of those times. Only a couple of years later, mankind would show that technology could be used for far less innocent purposes...

Diana Mavroleon in conversation with Annemarie Borg 12 May 
"Annemarie Borg's work is eclectic in that it traverses both mixed media and the individual/separate forms of music, words, poetry, sounds and the visual arts. As Founder of the ‘Antara Project’ Borg uses art forms as tools to deal with her main concerns: the fundamental changes in social and cultural environments and how these affect the present day and generations to come. “In today's world we have created our own challenge, are we now up to the task of facing it? In this task what is the part Artists can assume?” (AMB). Antara aims to build a louder voice through Art and will result in a compilation album and a day conference/performance later this year. Borg’s ‘live’ shows range from classical repertoire to experimental music with organic sound-scapes, electronica, improvisation, often in collaboration with other musicians...
Resurgence Magazine Dec 2012 Jan 2013: review by Lorna Howarth
