High Rise Warm A performance employing a deteriorating electric organ, 486 CN software & modulated tones performed live at Bonaparte’s Hotel, 28th March, 2000. 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.

Inductive pick-ups suspended in two clear resin rings - left and right - ‘Sound jewellery’. Wires running up the arms, down the back to the mixing desk ... KETTLE’s recent performances at ADAPT 2000, Gratings & Electrofringe in September, 2000 of electromagnetic sound from television and transformers is astounding audiences into wonderment and silence.
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."
