Vast Fast has been my favourite song by Matthew since we met last year in WA. I got to see it live three times in my short sojourn over there. 

To remix a song you love can be hard. I did my best. It's the quickest tempo I've ever worked at, and it contains as you may ironically expect, some surprise turns.

"Jared" is the 3rd single from my upcoming album "We Cry Salt".

Waves roll under and through us, swelling increasingly as rainbows wink in the mist they leave behind.

Dedicated to my little brother.

Take a peak behind the curtain...

I gratefully often take one myself and can feel him always there backing me up.

"Though We Dwell Apart" is the 4th single from my upcoming album "We Cry Salt".

Will you saunter through this landscape?

The aural biosphere is made from instruments I have around me. Bass guitar, electric guitar, Korg minilogue synth, Korg sv-1 keys.

The shaker is... A salt shaker.

I tip my hat and bow deeply to all that has brought me to a place where I find these wonderful tools around me, and with the inspiration to sculpt and weave.

Bass gifted by Rexxx. Tongue drum of @sonic_kahuna_deva sampled.

Though We Dwell Apart

With his second LP release "We Cry Salt", Phortah conjures sonar intended to polish the lens, so that we can see things as they truly are. 

A deep bow to the formless. In reverence of mystery. 

For the ocean. 

For Jared.

Channelling loving presence via impeccable sound design while tending to draw spirited and big hearted dancers to the floor.

Phortah's creative essence is somewhat free. He relates with the living tree, soil, sky, ocean and animal more so than with genre labels.

As an avid, exploratory, improvisational contemporary and contact dancer, his sound is informed by spontaneous rebellion against conditioned movement. Normality and convention are messed with.

"I listen to (feel) my animal body from within the living web which flows beyond intellectual capture.

With cues and guidance from nature, I cultivate visionary and feeling faculties as a part of the process. My music and dance practices are a part of this nourishing work. There has been a role for me to share from this place and I am grateful for all of the invitations and opportunities which have come from those who have recognised Phortah's offering. 

Sound wise, I work with various tools to create sensuous, enveloping auras which are often punctuated by saucy grooves. This aural recipe can be nourishing for humans and landscapes. I'm drawn to delving into deeper work with both.

My work with sound is supported first and foremost by a practice of listening." 

Relating with the gumbayngnirr and bundjalung nations on the east coast of Australia.

Phortah has released music with Dirtwire's Swamptronic Records (USA), Heimlich Musik (Vienna), leveldva (Moscow), Earthly Measures and Serafin Audio Imprint (Berlin).
