South Australian composer and sound artist

BARNARD is an 80s and early 90s inspired synthwave project featuring the compositions of Melbourne drummer and composer Alex Barnard. His life-long obsession with old-school cult action films and their epic instrumental soundtracks, combined with his love for synthwave juggernauts The Midnight, Gunship and Robert Parker, has ultimately led to the creation of Alex’s first solo project. Characterised by splashy synth top lines, nostalgic string pad harmonies and thunderous rhythm section grooves, BARNARD is a project that should keep every old mate who refuses to upgrade from VHS to DVD happy.

Adelaide’s Neon Tetra have returned with a defining new single to herald a new era for the band in the bright and luscious ‘Jealous Love’. Bringing together an insatiable groove with fun lyricism and melodic strength, the band are in their element and at ease on record. The dynamism of Neon Tetra is on full display with ‘Jealous Love’ - this is a band who has just kept going from strength to strength.

‘Jealous Love’ came to fruition during sessions spent writing and recording at Supermelody Studios in Kerrie, Victoria, working with noted producer and engineer James Cecil (Architecture in Helsinki, Totally Mild). The first taste of more new music on the near horizon for the Neon Tetra, ‘Jealous Love’ is the perfect culmination of all the band’s influences, refined and captured with finesse.

In the time of 2014-2015, most of Tree Collaborations' artwork was forcibly removed from much of the internet in a series of unlistings, deletions, and similar acts collectively dubbed "The Forest Fire".

The directive of The Ashwood Project is to collect and preserve what scraps we can find originating from Tree Collaborations, so that others may still discover the wonders of this now passed organization for themselves. Or, so that fans of the group may see/hear their favorite pieces online.

"Tree Collaborations is a multimedia art collective out of San Francisco's Underground. A project built to push creation for the sake of tapping into the sacred side of things. This family of young artists creates everything from music to films, street art to animations, and a clothing line. Tree Collaborations is a multilayered creative movement."

The core of the Ashwood Project is a handful of fans that have been following Tree's works since they started in the early 2010s, and have been collecting pieces ever since. Though, membership is open to anyone who has recovered a piece of media from the Tree era, or simply supports our cause.
