Fantasm
Interfaces
Both the 'Fantasm' performance (3 June, 2000., Bonaparte�s Hotel, Brisbane) and 'InterFaces' Concert (5 July, 2000, The Pot Music Bar, part of Australian Computer Music conference) employed the mini-CD �Lotto�. Experimental DJing with two �Lotto� mini-CD�s looping and mixing the 15 second track structure was the essense of �Fastasm�. � ... designing a performance that fits in the pocket, so that one moment you are the audience to a previous artist and then whisking the 8 cm CDs from your jacket and into the players to start is an ideal.� Playing �Lotto� on Random Play, allowing the CD player to choose a series of the 45 tracks on the CD was the heart at 'Interfaces'
"... an attempt at extreme minimalism."

Supporting UK sound artist, Simon Wickham-Smith�s Australian Tour. Research findings into prehistoric european cave �shapings� that accentuated the 500 - 1000 hz range was the basis for a bed of modulating tones; CN (Computer Narcotic) software produced electronic glitch rhythms to accompany the live performance of a deteriorating electronic organ that short circuited, fused, sparked and discharged broken notes.
