Aired on SBS radio in 2007, this piece contains from clips from famous speeches and heavily manipulated guitar and electrical noises. It was initially performed by Neil Ismail and myself at Voltage 2, at the University of Wollongong. Accompanied by a VJ set performed by myself, the fractured nature of the samples and instrumentation provides a manipulated look at history to the point of some of the audio becoming musical rather than the famous political and wartime speeches they once were.

Everything You Hold Worthwhile

At University I was told we had to compose and record a piece for vocals. 
In the style of Francis de Groot I took things into my own hands and came up with this. 
de Groot's School of Ribbon Cutting is a piece which features no instruments. The only noises you will hear in this piece are coming out of my mouth, into a microphone (Shure SM57), into the input of a POD BASSXT PRO.
