Another snippet from Caligo Paean - beware of gifts when chasing gods : ) 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

As always, Dani and Mat making things up in front of people. Recording is off the desk so a bit better quality than normal zoom offerings - May post some more

Kirby/Ward LIVE @The Container Stage

This piece is built from 13 improvised tracks, each recorded in sequence and each responding only to the track that came immediately before it. In practice, that means the ear never listens to the full structure — only to a single sound in the moment, and then reacts.

The mix follows the same rule: volume and panning respond solely to the previous layer, creating depth and dimension from a chain of one-to-one interactions rather than a top-down design.

What results is a kind of emergent form.
What’s the shape — the motion — of the piece when each gesture only knows the one that came before it?

A try, a gift, a kiss. My first recording tempting to discover this magical instrument : an Hermann Weissenborn Style 1.

Life's A Beach - Live at Woodshop Recording Studios

Opening number of POAUW! 6 Intonarumori and percussion. 
POAUW! was a commission for MONA FOMA 2013 celebrating the 100th anniversary of Futurist artist Luigi Russolo's manifesto  "the art of noises". In a nutshell he wanted to abandon the modern orchestra as he felt it no longer reflected the aural reality of the early 20th century. In its place he designed and built many INTONARUMORi  (sound generators) and played them wherever he could. he was often beaten up for his efforts. We remade 6 of these intonarumori and added all kinds of machines, found objects and noisy people for this series of concerts. We got the audience to join in every nite and help create a unique racket. Around 10,000 people saw and heard POAUW! over its 4 nite run. Very keen to do more with these amazing machines

POAUW! Movement 1 La Varieta Dei Rumori e Infinita

These are my explorations in sound painting… plus a song or two that accidentally resemble actual music. This is less like a record store and more like stumbling into an artist’s studio: things in progress, things half-finished, things I’m still trying to understand myself.

I’m a guitarist, improviser, and composer based in the Washington, DC area — a Berklee grad from way back when I still thought knowing modes and chord scales would fix everything. I now split my time between two worlds: textural, experimental solo work and the more traditional jazz language I explore with my trios.

In the solo pieces, I chase self-organizing sound — music that tries to form itself without asking my permission: fluid, dynamic, occasionally confused, but alive. With the trio, the focus shifts toward groove, swing, and melody, though improvisation remains the one thing I haven’t managed to ruin.

Both sides come from the same place: curiosity, listening, and trusting the music more than I trust my own plans.

If any of this resonates — or if you just want to talk shop, collaborate, or say hi — feel free to reach out. 🙏
