Hello there,
Apologies that I haven’t been posting in a while. Much has been happening. Here’s a little summary of what’s been happening.
- Work has began on the Acolytes soundtrack. I’m assisting my long time friend and accidental brother JD Franzke on his first feature film score - which basically entails being a Pro-Tools nerd, making some sounds and recordings and also being a dogs-body and roustabout.
- OUTPOST which is the A/V laptop jam night that I help run with some friends will have been running for one year this month. The next night is on 26th september at Horse Bazaar. On the same night at Horse Bazaar will be the launch of Digital Fringe as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. More info @ the OUTPOST website.
- The Red Tree’s EP is closer to finishing - some vocals, overdubs and the final mixes to go.
- All India Radio have been collaborating on a new album with Steve Kilbey. It looks like I’ll be mixing it sometime toward the end of october. Mr. Kilbey talks about the record here. It seems I’m someone….
- The ambient diary is on it’s way. It’s a collection of the ambient music I make on a semi-regular basis. They’re made from a collection of synthesis stuff, found sound and binaural recordings. The idea is that it will be a podcast for people to download and have for free. When it’s all ready I’ll post more about it.
- There has been much mastering happening. Among others - a new KES record mixed by James Cecil from Architecture in Helsinki. New LP’s for Wagons, Basic Shape and a new compile for Filter Music.
- I ate a bunch of apples on-air for each apple user that subscribed to Byte Into It as part of RRR FM’s annual subscription drive. Check out the flickr pics of what ended up being a rather cleansing experience here. Also, Phil and I went down to the Malthouse Theatre to interview Cory Doctorow for the show. Corey was in town for the Melbourne Writers Festival. The interview is here. Cory is an absolute champ and pretty much takes the cake for being one of the most articulate people I’ve ever spoken to.
Well now that you’re updated, I’ll leave you to back to get back other things…
