I first got into music through my Dad who taught me a few chords on the guitar but i got more experimental and started messing with cassette tape and tape recorders. The first keyboard i ever owned was when i was around 10 - a Realistic Concertmate 500 which had a very basic sampling function so you could say a few words into it and play them up and down the keyboard. This combined with an obsession with Jean Michel Jarre's Zoolook album led to an eternal love affair with electronic music and especially sampling. Since then ive been through a myriad of synths and studio setups starting with a Roland W-30 workstation/sampler back in 1991. I love a broad range of electronic music especially deep house / tech house / drum & bass / chill / ambient / trip hop & psytrance. Over the years I've played keys in a couple of cover bands & had a couple of gigs playing some of my own tracks at various dance events.

The Untitled One

A darker collection of work exploring the themes of death, birth and the space in between the two. Life is a continuous stream and birth and death happen as events on the stream. 


NEW EP - En-Trance-D

Trance or achieving a Trance-like state is a spiritual experience. It can take to an experience of reality that is beyond normal every day thinking. Nature has designed us well, we are beings of light as much as the stars in the heavens, we are made in the image of the divine cosmic universe to which we are linked. Trance can take us back home, back to the stars, while still being on the Earth. All we need is the music, let your body and mind go and let the music take you home. 

 SINGLE - HERE I STAND-

The "Here I Stand" single is an expression of the deepest aspects of myself. The raw places in my soul that I have travelled to over the last years of my life. The places I felt I needed to let go and the places I needed to stand firm and resist the temptation to capitulate to a way of being that didn't honour my true self. The Goddess Ishtar journeyed to hell and back to save her lover and in the process she had to shed seven veils or layers of her personality (hence the dance of the seven veils) Its not really about being physically naked, thats easy, but getting emotionally naked.

MORE ABOUT IN THIS MODE

The moment I heard the opening few bars of Gary Numan’s “Are Friends Electric” my life changed. It was like a doorway opened into a new reality for me. An alien landscape that I felt oddly at home in. Music featured strongly in my childhood growing up as the younger brother of one of the founding fathers of punk rock in Australia. I began my musical life with intensity and have never really looked back. But from that moment back in 1979 synthesisers and electronic music have been an integral part of my musical expression. Along the way I have played in a couple of synth bands, studied classical piano, cello and recorder including a stint in the local symphony orchestra. Far and away the most creative thing I have done in my life is to become a parent. Its the agony and ecstasy of this that has I believe led to “In This Mode”. At any one time I operate in a different mode or role all of which are aspects of who I am but none of them completely defining me and so all the while I am a parent living through the roller-coaster ride of emotions that can involve another part of me is creating musical ideas.

Musical influences are probably to numerous to mention but heres some of it, some of the giants  of electronic music, Gary Numan, John Foxx, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Visage, Human League, Tangerine Dream leading into The Shaman, The KLF, Front 242,  Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins,  Sisters of Mercy, Orbital, Dead Can Dance and more recently Assemblage 23, VNV nation, and Royksopp just to name a few. Along the way lots of classical music found its way in there and a bit of Jazz as well. The list really is to long to list so I won’t but my thanks to any one who has ever provided musical inspiration. In This Mode is a reincarnation of a once dormant aspect of my  creative self using synthesisers and technology to create electronic dance, synth pop, downtempo and ambient music to put into form what has been formless for sometime.

BIO...

Transmission Communications (Trans:Com) is an independent record label based in Brisbane, Australia. We first established back in 1994 and we remain Brisbane’s original of the species – approaching our 20th year of activity.

We focus on production and performance of music across the spectrum of electronic influence. Trans:Com is not a major, and it is not a large company. It’s a business run by individuals with a passion for electronic music.

The label was originally formed to activate and support a completely new sector of music production and performance in a city previously known only for its quirky guitar-pop, grunge, and rock output. Many years later, Brisbane and indeed Australia has a very healthy electronic music scene with a solid range of originators of the genre, several important clubs, DJ’s, studios, producers, and a string of successful events. The city has developed into a key centre for electronic-music activity in the country.

Physically speaking, Trans:Com has released seminal compilations of local electronic music (Evidence, Cyberia, Abstraction) along with numerous individual bands, acts, and projects - including Projekt Inertia (formerly Inertia), Victor X-Ray, Low Key Operations and Nude Productions (now lowkey+nude), Pure Bunk, Sphere, Alieonix, Blood Party, Ande, Stormboy, VISI, Dharma Buffer, 8E38, The Isle, Jandy Rainbow, Dogmachine, Ostia, Tycho Brahe, All Electric Kitchen, Glitch, and Morgan Geist. We have also collaborated with Boxcar, Severed Heads, Lawrence English, Loveless, Dizzygotheca, Taiyo, and My Ninja Lover.

Having done the whole CD, vinyl, video, and cassette thing, the label is now focussed on digital distribution; providing its catalogue through iTunes and others, as well as an aggregation service for independent artists and other cottage labels.

Additionally, Trans:Com is passionate about the live context of electronic music - having organised key Brisbane electronica showcase events including Cyberia (1995), 101 (2001), The Silhouette Series (2006), and Upgrade (2007) amongst many others. We feel that, now more than ever, it is crucial to bridge the online- yet- disconnected world of digital music with the intimate experience that can only be gained through a live performance.

In doing so, Trans:Com has provided the platform for numerous bands and artists to commence their careers, collaborated with many others, marshalled the development of Brisbane as the new Australian centre for electronic music production and performance, and above all supported the ideology and ethics of independence, art and alternative media.

Our motto remains to this day; Progressive, Innovative, Electronica.
