Well I thought I was just going to be going to work as per usual tomorrow- but it seems I’ll be getting on a plane and heading to the red carpet of the Sydney Opera House as a finalist in this year’s MusicOz Awards. It’s an expensive undertaking to fly up there at short notice [...]

I can’t believe it’s the middle of May.  I guess we say it every year- but really, 2012 does seem to be flying along quicker than most.  I guess that’s in part because I’m so busy. In April I visited the studios of Joy FM in Melbourne and did a live to air performance for [...]

Writer-a-Day: Clare Carlin reading from “Excursions”. Clare is a very talented woman that I have only had the pleasure of meeting briefly- but continue to stumble upon things that she has written that just reinforce the impression that you get of her upon meeting-  She’s an absolute find! Enjoy.

I’ve had to take some pretty massive scary leaps in the past 2 years as far as making music is concerned- I’ve had to go back to performing solo often, I have learned to love playing on my own, but often it’s because I can’t afford to travel with a band at the moment because [...]

Well I’m back home after a whirlwind few days in the city of churches. I can now say with absolute certainty that it is certainly not all about churches in this fine South Australian capital- they sure now how to throw one hell of a festival- or 3. On Wednesday night I headed after an [...]

It always seems to come up in interviews that there are not a lot of people in Australia doing Trip-Hop/Electronica styles- and it’s true, it’s a small little group, but we are here and when you do a little bit of digging you find some pretty amazing ladies. Another Melbourne based lass is By Elly  [...]

Well I’m not sitting in a bar in Adelaide, but I’m certainly getting psyched to do so.  I recently spoke to Michael on the Podcast ‘Sitting in A Bar in Adelaide’ which featured a handful of the bands showcasing at Fuse Festival next week.  It’s a really good snapshot of just how much amazing, polished and diverse [...]

Only a little over a week until I am Adelaide bound for Fuse Festival. It’s going to be a fairly intense couple of days seminars and talks during the day and lots of music to see at night.  A few bands I’m looking forward to catching are fellow Melbournians Howl at the Moon, Adam Eaton [...]

Visualise: Make a music video, mobile phone app, interactive installation.

If you are a member of the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association it is time to flex your creative digits and mess around with my music at the same time. Getty Images have put together a competition called Visualise

Take my music and then make something new, visual and highly creative to exist alongside or within it and you could win a brand spanking macbook air a full CS 5.5 Master Suite and have your work shown at the AIMIA Awards at Cockatoo Island next month.  I will also be showing my favourite entries throughout the World Wide Web and if its something that I can take with me on tour to Japan, France and the Netherlands in the coming months, then you are coming along with me there too!

Well first of all, I thought it was time for a present!  I was pottering on a track that I started when I was happily lost in the South of France at La Muse. You can download a full copy of the track HERE!   I wanted to let you know about 2 artists from [...]
