Part of the development in September 2011 of "Parlour Trick: an electromagnetic peepshow" with Aria Co, Latitude 37 and Ashley Smith. This work was written for Latitude 37 as a show piece which they have subsequently performed and is now part of their repertoire of new works for old instruments. For more on Parlour Tricks - check out Aria Co's sound cloud which features the four songs developed at the Melbourne Recital Centre in September , with words by the amazing Elizabeth Campbell.
