Endorsements....

"At the time I thought we needed a program but having none was the right way. I would have just being a try hard pushing dune pseudo waffle. Most of this music was spontaneous  Therefore it lacked any pretensions about trying to be anything."
..Anton Mullet.

"I really enjoy listening to those early recordings because they bring back the excitement and enthusiasm I used to feel whenever we got together to make music. 
There's some great stuff there: the vague, distant ringing of the telephone combined with the strings and piano allow you to float through a very atmospheric scape. There was something immediately satisfying about the simple methods we'd use to generate and record sounds."
..Ingo Wieben.

"Wow. That's beautiful. And uncanny. I always felt that D27 tapped into something very deep and universal.
It's an extraordinary body of work and so completely ahead of its time. It also has a very timeless quality. Unique and peerless." 
..Ian White.

Keep On Dancing ❤


“With dance, it is the dancing itself that is the goal, and no-one is concerned with arriving somewhere by doing it. Naturally, it may happen that one arrives somewhere as a result of having danced. Since one is dancing, one does not stay in the same place. But there is no destination.” - Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga 

Consoles* explores techno and other forms of electronic music with communities engaged in dance on land stolen from Aboriginal people. Consoles acknowledges the Eastern Marr people as the Tradition Owners and the Gaudubanud people as the custodians of the Country she lives on, and pays respect to their elders, past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty has never been ceded. 

Consoles has had the privilege to play music for Factoid, Bunker, Silo, Night-time Drama, Lunachicks, Machine, Melbourne Techno Collective, BARBA, Hoi Polloi, Mint Country Club, Stable Music, Technoir, Trench, When the Smoke Clears and Vinyl Vixens. She is a founding member of the annual cross border diplomatic techno exchange known as Adelaide vs Melbourne and she is looking forward to a cup of tea and a lie down.
