2002AD Electronic Music Conference, Adelaide Fringe.
3:30 - 5:15pm, The Cinema.
An aural alchemical laboratory producing vibrations across the spheres.
An Artist's Presentation that offered previous performance video projections, slide projections, recorded audio works, live performance of designed instruments (DC motor chains, EMR rings, Dry Ice-Metal textures, 'RosePetal' the black rat, SW radio & Diode exciter), non-verbal vocalisations and spoken word considerations of the symbolic and thematic elements in the works of Kettle.

"I was really quite spellbound by the performance and the subject matter and by the end could make sense of the alchemical connection with sound in terms of vibration. And of course there is something innately magical about electricity, and in particular - arcing and sparking. I though you were very dextrous with leads and connectors and maintained a spoken word performance in persona very adeptly. Your assistant played an admirable role with the rat and associated lab tasks."
Robyn Ravlich, The Listening Room, ABC Classic FM.
