A life long lover of nature and constantly intrigued by the natural world and the invisible world of sounds that surround us. This has taken me on a journey of trying to combine my love of exploring and documenting nature with my passion for recording and understanding sound. The idea has since manifested into a number of interesting projects and is in a constant state of evolution. I like the idea of using art as a way to understand the world of science, using imagination to explore scientific ideas beyond the limits of traditional scientific methodology.

I have built up the gear to record and capture sounds for use in films, interviews and music projects or you can check out the library of sounds. I have worked on a number of film projects in a number of different roles and enjoy working behind the camera, which has helped how I work with sound. I like being able to provide a different point of view and unique service for people who like the idea of thinking outside the box, because I live outside the box. 

The most profound sound you will ever hear, is the sound when your heart breaks open

If you like these recordings and would like more information please feel free to contact me on Tai.inoue@my.jcu.edu.au

Thanks Tai

Known as the Barefoot Songstress, Miss Max continues to carve her own path around the country, drawing inspiration from a life on the ocean and the road. Known for creating what is best described as oceanic folk and nomadic story telling, with a voice often described as velvet, she was the winner of the 2016 Best of the North West playing along side Xavier Rudd, Sarah Blasko and The Rubens.

Known for her haunting vocals and poignant lyricism, Christa writes piano-based folk-pop music. Her performance style can swing between the sultry tones of A Fine Frenzy and the more robust Florence & The Machine, but when she takes it down to piano-vocal arrangements, you'll hear the influence of Sarah McLachlan and Over The Rhine.

She was named Songwriter of the Year in 2006 for her song "Held" which was a career-making single for Natalie Grant. She also cowrote Plumb's hit singles "Need You Now" and "God Help Me" as well as Ellie Holcomb's "Red Sea Road" and "Stronger."

Christa lives in Nashville, TN.
