VALE SEAN BAXTER 
1970-2020

We are crushed by the terrible news of Sean's passing. The Melbourne (and all over) experimental / improvised / noise scene took a huge blow just a few days before the start of the confinement, with the passing of legendary drummer, noise artist, curator, DIY stalwart, lover and enthusiast for all things strange, fukkd and brutal Sean Baxter.
I made a radio show of his music, with a few anecdotes, stories and quotes thrown in. If anyone is involved in radio, online or otherwise, and wants to get it aired please feel free to download to get the files.

I offer my deepest respect and admiration for the culture, courage and compassion of First Nations peoples throughout Australia (and indeed around the world), Traditional Custodians of Country. 

As a descendent of colonisers, I am sincerely sorry for the dispossesion and suffering caused to First Nations people as a result of the British invasion, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded: always was, always will be |-o-|

Helloo!

It's been a long time, and quiet at that from my end. Just having a fallow spell and/or mojo lull (depending on the day :), managing my mind and health (or not - ditto ;), musing and meandering and mimimalising... And while that's great / necessary (! :), I've found it a little unsettling to have this subside into dormancy... So it's fortunate that, in my inactivity, I've amassed a minor backlog of sets to upload - something fresh, however aged :D

Enjoy, stay well, be kind, laugh lots, love well, find peace xo
