Listen to Alice Bellette read her essay from Griffith Review 76: Acts of Reckoning. In this piece, Alice delves into the narrative spaces claimed by new voices of Aboriginal gothic and their role in unsettling settler stories laid onto Australia’s landscapes.  

Examining questions of history, truth-telling and decolonisation, and revisiting colonial figures and their ongoing legacies, Acts of Reckoning reframes the past in order to form new futures – and celebrates how much work is already underway. For more from this edition, head to GriffithReview.com

Marcus Whale's solo production project offers a uneasy, breathless composition that would, ideally, be played exclusively in St. Peter's Basilica. If that's not available, a blood rave — or your headphones — will do. To Be Possessed features on the debut release of Sydney label Body Promise, Harmony From A Dominant Hue.

premiere: marcus (not singing), to be possessed

Got invited to play a set at Visual Bulk in a few days so I wrote this song to suit the space.

Untitled song for Visual Bulk

a study for string harmonics + sine tones that uncover the hidden acoustic properties of a widely beloved storm water drain

full recording: https://jasminleung.bandcamp.com/releases

laser measurements of the annerly drain generated the axial modes, resonance frequencies and sum and difference tones. this in turn generated the intonation for the stringed instruments and oscilllators to be sympathetic with the drains natural resonances....
