An (Abject)ional Experience
Thursday evening the Institute of Modern Art beckoned with the prospect of enjoying MONO 2, a series of 3 sound artists. The second of these by Abject Leader left me blown away to say the least.
This piece was an incredible installation using both visual imagery and sound that needed to been seen to be believed. In all, Sally Golding used a series of five 16mm projectors, each with 16mm films shot on her ... Read more

Halftheorist invades New Music Up Late
An interview I did with Julian Day is set to be aired on ABC Classic FM this Saturday 25th November. I was asked to program a selection of inspirational materials and the mixture of Post Industrial electro-acoustic material chosen is set to not only challenge regular listeners but hopefully clarify my individualist artistic trajectory. Tune in from 10:30pm or go here http://www.abc.net.au/classic/newmusic/
to access the archived material.

Australian experimental music from 1991
NMATAPE #9
NMATAPE 9, the penultimate in Shame File Music’s reissue of these seminal compilations, is now available for free download or on CDR from http://ShameFileMusic.com
Of particular interest here is Ross Bolleter’s “That Time (Simulplay II)”. Bolleter is perhaps best known for his work with ruined pianos, but here he composed a piece for two improvising players on opposite sides of the Australia to be played simultaneously without being able to hear the other, as an exploration of synchronicity. Bolleter’s accompanying article on the concept of the piece from NMA 9 is linked from the web site.
Other names of interest here include Alan Lamb, Lindsay Vickery and Jonathan Mustard.
NMATAPE 10, the final in the series, will be available in a few weeks.

SSU5 review in Broken Face
One can always discuss the value of compilations but in the case of this micro label based in Kyogle, Australia it goes without saying that they can be crucial in terms of unleashing more goods from well-respected but unknown outsider units as well as presenting new bands.
Sound Surrounds Us V is easily one of the finest compilations I’ve heard this year and it actually manages to focus on bands that are new to me. The icing of the cake through is Broken Face faves Ray Off out of New Zealand, which delivers one of their finest slices of fucked-up folk yet. ”Middlemarch Hop” is homebrewed folk covered by a thick blanket of tasty sound collisions in miniature and droning lo-tech minimalism. It sounds a bit like a more electronically bent and experimental Hush Arbors, and if that’s not praise I am not sure what is. Add to all this stumbling feedback and whirrs of drone buzz from Australian Little Head Big Body, modal guitar-drone bliss flavored with... Read more
