New album ‘Can You Hear Me’ out on Flaming Pines on 22 November 2024 attempts to find common ground between a young human and threatened birds in this time of the Anthropocene and recreates the calls of endangered Australian bird species from recordings of the vocalisations of a four-month-old boy, accompanied by a lonesome, wistful autoharp. Previous works ‘Waiting for The Great Reset’ (Flaming Pines, 2020) addresses scale, degradation and renewal; 'Suddenly woken by the sound of stillness' (Flaming Pines, 2017), built from recordings made along the Trans-Siberian Railway; 'Transitions' (3LEAVES, 2015), made from fragments of sound from everyday life; 'Domestic Cinema' (Wood & Wire/New Weird Australia, 2013), composed from recordings of archaic equipment at the Telecommunications Museum in Melbourne, household objects, typewriter and drum kit; and ‘Internal Temporal Order’ (Sensory Projects, 2011), which was made in 24 hours using a standard acoustic drumkit, metallophone, brooms and brushes, and bits and pieces as part of The 24-hour Drawing Project. Also co-founder and drummer of veteran Melbourne instrumental band ‘This is Your Captain Speaking’, who have released 3 internationally acclaimed albums over the last 10 years, toured Europe and the UK, played the Sydney Opera House and signed to Resonant Records (London).
