hypnotic ambient exploration of the multiverse with sample commentary from cosmologist Laura Mersini-Houghton

Multiversal.Computation

The basis for this track was recorded as a live improvised ambient jam using typhon dreadbox , access virus 2, arturia drumbrute ,along with some vst patches in serum 2, massive x & playbeat. 
made entirely  left handed under the influence of codeine phosphate after a mountainbike crash which left me with a dislocated collarbone & fingers.

codeine phosphate

metamorphic.decomposition

minimal downtempo bass , beats & atmos.
this track explores the complexity of human/animatronic love & emotions.

Animatronic

Recorded at Traffik Jam party 2007 , this mix captures the kind of tracks I was playing in DJ sets around this time. It also marks a nice shifting point where percussive breaks music started to morph more & more  into the emerging genres of psychedelic breaks & bass music. of course this had been happening for years  prior but its captured here nicely with artists like si begg , kozmik neil , soteg , tipper etc

Throbgoblin DJ mix @ Traffik Jam 2007

I've been working on this track for a little while & thinking about ways for artists &  musicians to contribute towards promoting positive action on climate change. It features samples (used with respect) from Greta Thunberg's TED talk "The disarming case to act right now on climate change" . to listen to the full talk check out the link.......

Change_Synchromute

The basis of this track is a field recording of a 1.2km long coal train passing our house in Tighes Hill , Newcastle NSW in 2005.

They run day & night , uncovered through many suburban & rural areas on their journey from the open cut coal pits in the upper hunter valley to newcastle & the worlds largest coal export terminal. 

Screeching , shunting & groaning like giant robots lumbering towards the port.

The line has been blockaded by protestors on a number of occasions shutting it down for hours/days at a time.

This track was made in march 2005.

BIOs:
:::::Somnus Lak::::: aka Simon Ritchie, uses a broad brush to paint ambient textures over downtempo
beats. Simon has been creating tunes for over 20 years and Somnus Lak is a culmination of many varied influences
such as Massive Attack, Amon Tobin, Radiohead, Ital Tek and Mogwai. His music has been described as a
perfect soundtrack to an epic film, full of atmosphere and emotion that gets dirty when it needs to.

:::::Synchromute::::: Minimal, hypnotic, bass-heavy downtempo tracks, spiced with
samples and created using 100% renewable solar & wind power. Synchromute live sets feature improvised remixing,
percussion triggering, effects processing and creation of textured soundscapes on the fly. Analogue,
digital, human, machine >>>>>> soundcloud.com/unityengine

:::::Mr Fungus/EMK::::: Painter / Electronic and Temporal-Media artist EMK graduated with honours
from Sydney College Of The Arts in 1997 and has been exhibiting paintings and creating sound installations in
Sydney and in regional Australia for the last 25 years. EMK works sculpturally with reclaimed and recycled
materials; and produces public art events and projects with youth groups and architects. EMKs paintings and
Audio Composi-tions could be described as intricate, flatly simple homogenizations that are studies of
alternative space and time, inner-landscapes that manoeuvre between Documentry and Science Fiction.
EMK lives in Killabakh on the mid north coast in NSW and has been owner-building a home studio from upcycled
materials since 2002 >>>>>> instagram.com/kwhyette

:::::Phreaddee::::: Beauty in imperfection imperfection in beauty. simplicity in complexity

combinations of all. the electricity before and after a storm the moment your eyes shut
sweetness and light....little subtleties >>>>>> soundcloud.com/dan-fallon-2

:::::Jilted Hoodz::::: Jilted Hoodz warp the wave forms with uniquely twisted fat track-matter. Transmitting
previously unknown musical atmospheres and formations of intergalactic beats.
Jilted Hoodz create immense, strangely dark and often hauntingly beautiful sounds.
The Jilted Hoodz signature ‘feel good darkness’ and glitched out sounds are characterised by bottom heavy combinations
of obesely broken beats, interlaced with beasty bass articulations and cinematic instrumentals
