Done was an experiment to see what would happen if we were to create a song and film clip in a short time frame without leaving our home. 

The song is made entirely of samples which we captured around our house and then manipulated into playable midi instruments. For example the bass line was created from our dog's (Australian Kelpie) bark and the synths were made from the sounds of cracking ice and the rumbling air-conditioner. Make sure to subscribe to see behind the scenes footage and tutorials of this process. 

The film clip was shot in our backyard and garage, except for the footage of the Boobook Owl which was taken by our friend Tamara Gordon.

Nightlight

Our ensemble song for Composition class- I had written melody and chords to the verses but the boys brilliantly added the chorus which gives it a whole new dimension and love the vibe they created with the three guitars. Break down happened mid jam quite spontaneously everyone came up with their own lines :).

Finding a connection at an early age in the lyrics, vocals and poetry of artists such as Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys and Maya Angelou, Cate writes and sings with a unique style that pays dues to her influences whilst remaining very much her own.

A love of  hip hop, neo soul and R & B Cate has seen Cate support acts including Delta, Chance Waters, Spit Syndicate and The Tongue as well as join talented Sydney based hip hop artist Coptic Soldier for his Australian tour supporting Mind Over Matter.
