"Yellow Garden" (2025)

Collaborating can be a lot of fun!  This is the third released collaboration with Mark Spruce (Original Spruce). 

It was an interesting process. Mark came up with the oven glove line, I sent him a few abandoned lyrics I had from a song before about bulbs in the dirt, and he then developed them into the full lyric about a relationship and moving on and added the melody. He then sent me the main guitar track and his excellent double tracked lead vocals. I then migrated those into GarageBand and then built up the full backing instrumental and added the backing vocals. A bit technical for me but we got there! He then made the beautiful video!

I hope you enjoy it! 👍😃

Lyrics 
You need more than
Oven gloves
To touch the sun
And a 5 ton heart
Makes it hard to run

But hey there now,
Why the long face?
Get up off the floor
Get back in the race

There are plenty more
Bulbs in the dirt
There are plenty more
Leaves on the stem

He was the grub on your shrub
And it’s eating you up
And I know he was

Starting to bug you.

But who knows?
It flows both ways.
Sometimes you didn't call
And you left when
You should have stayed

I'm not judging
I'm just saying
Black and white
Can start greying

The seams
They start fraying
They slowly come apart

Until you're right back at the start
 
Time for both to move on
If it’s wrong then its wrong
It once was special
But now it is gone.

Meccanik Funk

Yeah We Wet The Bed

Another snippet from Caligo Paean, darker in tone to evoke the power Of Caligo, who wasn't just in charge of mist but ruled the domain of chaos. 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.
