I guess if I was Tom Waits I would have talked about being a "shipwreck stuck out here in the dust". Speaking of which I hear the grand old man is touring. I was considering getting a plane over to Europe or America [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | No.28: God is my DJ-My Fortuitous MP3 Player Mix and 2 songs from “Normal Ours” [display_podcast] I have an el cheapo mp3 player I brought on the internet for $20. It's great but a little quirky. If you don't put songs in a folder before transferring them from your computer they seem to go on in a seemingly random order. Or, as I am coming to believe, in a cosmically aligned [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Desert Island 1 Audioblog no.8, Dirty Washing no. 4: Here's a bit of a song I was experimenting with a few years ago in Japan when I was into using samples and playing around with electronic stuff. There's another couple of bits to it that I might put up later. The sample is from a record by the King's Singers [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Make a thing We had a baby this week.  Nothing can stop the music though. Artwork appropriated by Felicity Mangan. Did some recording with Chris from Seagull, Michael from I.S.F.G.T.B.A and Tom from Milk Teddy and MJ from Korea last week.  Sounded pretty darned groovy.

Gravity and inflation. This is a song for anyone that can't afford a house. Which is anyone in Australia who doesn't already own a house. Koto accompaniment for the ethnomusicologists.

Here is a track I recorded with my fellow humansixbillioners in bass player Ry's apartment above a grog shop in Richmond probably 2 years ago.  Fumiko says she likes my music but that it is weird.  When I asked her why, she mentioned my penchant for grandiose choral endings.  On the whole I don't agree [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | No.16: How To Rest [display_podcast] I had help from several talented friends on this week's track: Neil Erenstrom and Chris Hung(The Crayon Fields and The Motifs), Alexis Hill (The Motifs, Light Music Club), Thomas Bjorn Mendelovits (Milk Teddy) and, of course, my especially gifted wife Fumiko. It was pretty much all recorded live one afternoon in our front room, [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | No.17: All the songs that you sing I sing too [display_podcast] This week's song is a re-record of a song I originally did for a little E.P. a couple of years ago called 5 Short Songs About Forever.  I thought I could do it better in light of recent developments in audio technology and recording/performance techniques that have gradually been unfolding within the long, thin oblong [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | No.18: We’ll be right [display_podcast] I ran into a couple of uni friends, Danny Richardson and Alan Lee, a few weeks back so I thought I would get them over to record.

Sounded like he was in the midst of a move back to the city from the idyllic but isolating Dandenongs. So much for the utopian tree change dream...
