Visual artist - living, working and creating on unceded Kuku Yalanji Bubu

Yattarna isn't shy to hold up wistful memories of days gone by to be the fundamental inspirations and the historical touchstones informing this project.  Yattarnas sentimental, somewhat archaic beat structure, even as it returns again and again to a long-forgotten groove and all-too-familiar tempo, eventually resolves into a leit motif which clarifies and frames the project's more contemporary moments and experiments.

Despite embracing modern tools, Yattarna eschews certain technical modernities of the craft. Dated structural conventions and low fidelity tonalities of the progressive breaks movement are parsed though the shifting, sifted influences of more contemporary moments, Instrumental hiphop and festival-rocking psychedelica blend themselves into urban-inspired downtempo experiments which themselves turn to gesture back through history towards the loose authenticity of the 70s rock and punk movements, modulated by the self-conscious experimentation of the 80s and swept up into the kinetic nihlism of the 90s... all these unique moments are intended to fuse into a coherent, consistent whole with the aim of somehow inspiring that sense of whimsical familiarity in dancers, jaded veteran and eager neophyte alike.

Yattarna respectfully nods to almost every genre convention of the last twenty five years while pushing all such restrictions to the side in its introverted attempt to capture, frame and snapshot a self-synthesized, single-minded obsession with the ebb and flow, the cadence, the flavour of those kicking dancefloor moments, those copiously available entheogenic states, those life-changing peak experiences which have driven all of us back again and again to the warehouses, clubs and and open air dancefloors that are able to transcend the pain and sadness inherent to biological existence and make life worth living."

You actually read all that?? Yikes.. full marks for commitment though!

Mostly creative endeavours & deep spiritual resonance. I mix house tracks for fun and enjoy producing diverse graphic art some of which I print and give to loved ones. To yourself be free.
