About Me

I make music and machines that make music and music that most people wouldn't call music. I'm also currently working as a sound designer for Vulcana Women's circus/The Crash Collective. I also play in numerous musical projects around brisbane; accompanying Joel Saunders as the casio-killer in Crazy Hearse, playing vibraphone with hiphop crew The Kelly Gang. Occasionally I guest/record with other brisbane artists including The Serenity, Tara Simmons, Pear and the Awkward Orchestra, Madeleine Paige and Kafka. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............... I'm interested in design and interfaces, particularly for electronic music and interactive installations. I love working with artists who specialise in different 'disciplines' - love any chance to cross-pollinate and mutate. I've summarised a few of the projects I've done or been involved in as blog entries (above). ............................................................ ............................................................ ................ The video below was made by my good friend Conan Fitzpatrick as documentation for the Morph Table research project I was involved in. I designed and built the physical interface and organized gigs for it. ............................................................ ............................................................

Just a head's up) ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ....................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ................The Kelly Gang at Woodford, NYE 2008-2009:
