As the Noise of Many Waters

Another snippet from Caligo Paean, darker in tone to evoke the power Of Caligo, who wasn't just in charge of mist but ruled the domain of chaos. 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

Algorithmic - Armageddon Blues

Another awesome electronic collaboration with David a.k.a. @blackmarketbrains ! I love his minimal techno beats so asked him to send me one that included one of his cool old movie samples.I was inspired right away to lay down some melodic loops and even a bit of guitar.

Hideri (dry spell)

日照り
日傘を差し
ぬるい風をよける
砂がとんで靴がよごれる
蜥蜴の背かわいている
草の葉もしおれている
雨はいつ？

日照り
塩を舐める
日差しは唸る
溶ける時計
旗は重く垂れて
蜂に追われ
檳榔子の銃弾で撃つ

日照り
虎が溶ける
石に絡まる

日照り
影は黒い橄欖の枝
笛が鳴る噴きこぼれる
竈の焚口から火の舌


The dry spell continues.
Sand blows in the wind, dirtying my shoes.
The dry back of a lizard.
Withered blades of grass.
When will it rain?
The dry spell continues. 
I lick salt.
The sun howls.
A clock melts.
A flag hangs heavy.
Bees are chasing me.
I shoot them with betel nut bullets.
The dry spell continues. 
A tiger melts and flows over large stones.
The dry spell continues.
Dark shadows of branches of a Canarium album.
A flute sounds. The world boilds. 
Tongues of fire poke out from a stove.
