Throwing your pearls at swine. Everyone knows koalas are anus guys.

I like this sound collage.  One of my favorite parts of recording is using the "bells and whistles" of LogicPro.  I can imagine this one was fun to put together.

Recorded  12 October 2024 at Casa Bagnolo, Milis Sardinia. A performance for processed field recordings and improvised Bass Guitar. Written during my Nocefresca residency and performed as part of the AMACI Giornata del Contemporaneo festival 2024

Then She Reaches For The Gun - Flashing My Vagina At Koalas

I'm sick of what's going on in the world. Of course, I'm watching it closely, I read the newspapers. So it's not just someone else's problem. But thanks to those who are trying not to solve it, "peace" won't come back.
　I turned up the volume on my music. I'm not going to stop it. I'm going to believe in something called the butterfly effect.

ON/OFF Turn up the volume (308)

Careful what you wish for........

[Track notes: flutes laid down in 2021 and recently rediscovered languishing on my Zoom R24. Filled in the 'gaps' with some improv oboe, added a beat track and embellished with horns....so here it is].

Ambergris
Ambergris is a 30 minute live performance based upon a 3-minute composition commissioned for the exhibition Apologue Isle, shown at Contemporary Art Tasmania in October and November 2024. The performance combined an extrapolated version of the original composition ( built from field recordings) with improvised bass guitar. Big Thanks to Andy Hutson for commissioning my piece and for creating Apologue Isle

Apologue Isle
An apologue is a moral fable, often using animals or non-human entities as the primary drivers of narrative.  The ‘apple isle’ was a nickname given to lutruwita/Tasmania to highlight the importance of the state’s apple export industry; with the first apple trees being planted by colonist William Bligh in 1788. These trees mark the beginning of industrial agriculture and extractive industry, and their subsequent impacts on the landscape and original inhabitants of lutruwita.   From these converging starting points, Apologue Isle aims to reframe the human perspective and create new stories that propose a world inhabited not by humans battling nature, but a complex, entwined system of objects, beings and space.  After many conceptual iterations, the project eventually began as an invitation. Five writers were asked to create a new story, with two simple requirements: it must refer to the natural world, and at least one character must be non-human. These stories were then transformed into sets, puppets were built, music composed and narration recorded.     The project unfolded like a surrealist exquisite corpse, each person building on the work of the one before, whilst retaining creative control over their own work. This aimed to enhance a sense of trust between collaborators through the giving over of ownership and acceptance of the other’s intent. 
The result is five unique stories, told through an unexpected array of characters, that reflect on what it means to live in our world at this moment in history. And alongside these stories is a burgeoning community of creative individuals, brought together through the shared ideas and ethics of the project.
