D-Die Donau

August 2025 Currently on residency in Italy ! 
These are 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds -  manipulating them and stiching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. 
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA. 
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi !

Arise!

Moonbase Six Implosion

Quelenis is a musical journey through a moment of choice. At the heart of the piece lies a crossroads: one path is endless and mechanical, silent yet inevitable, embodying reason and structure. The other is a human, shadowed path—unpredictable, raw, and filled with emotion and desire.

True to Olttaoff’s signature exploration of duality in sound, Quelenis weaves IDM’s intricate beats along the path of the infinite, while the improvisational spirit of Jazz illuminates the dark, human side. The intertwining of these sonic worlds creates a labyrinth that challenges the listener, pulling them between logic and instinct, certainty and chaos.

In a world of diverging paths, which will you choose? Quelenis offers an immersive experience of choice and the depths of sound itself.

My first live piano performance Schweeeeeet (I've since added harp and acoustic guitar but the live piano/vox performance remained the foundation)

Human time rules❤️‍🔥

The law of attraction. I can't remember what author championed it. But it's very true in a sense I think. We project and absorb either positivity or negativity. The world and average mind set is showing us negativity on steroids at the moments and as far as I can see people are re-projecting that negativity when they are not conscious about absorbing and re-projecting it.

That's why I feel so strongly in positivity especially now. We can actually get that positive wild fire we need from people to spread empathy instead of apathy. We don't all need to understand that, we just need enough of us to be tuned to ourselves enough to not reproject the negative energy we see in front of us even if we are the target.

As my Mum says to be all the time...

Don't reflect it back Carl... 

Greatest spreaders of love ever known to existence. My Mum and Dad. Lyrically here I actually refer to the Sun as Mum and Dad. This is completely true in an evolutionary sense. It is our true God and lit us our path 4.5 billion years ago. It's real and it's the truth as most sane minds accept so maybe let's not get hung up on the well spoken clowns that have tried to brain wash us since. Our kids deserve proof, not confusion ❤️‍🔥

This is the New

This is the end
The end
Come the new
Goodbye pretend
Mindset meets knew
Knowledge of old
Becomes feathered told
Neurons of gold
Expansion soul bold

White noise wiped out
Lie addiction not doctrine
Awakening clout
Affliction not toxin
Pain felt knows feel
Eyes meet the real
Tears of the sun
Reflection of Mum

Evened mouths shout
Together pined whine
Our pride becomes solar
Just water grape vine
Evolution gets bolder
More young as older
Bright sky lit rad
Thanks daily good Dad

Sonnet extend our bright lights of truths
Kids smile their happiness
Living our proofs
Mending them
Making them truer for all
Changing their tunes
Good want for next call

Composer of sum
Direction for anger
Pure bliss is on
Rise spirited hanger
Gone heaven and hell
Old mindset once fear
We live for today
Tomorrow made clear

Perfection like Wasp or Leaf or mighty Shrew
Sit 'side existence
This is the new
This is the end
The end
Come the new
Goodbye pretend
Mindset meets knew

This discussion with Neil Di Grasse Tyson on AI inspired a lot of this song
