About Me


I'm a little-known artist of sorts presently residing in Canberra, Australia. I like music and technology. I particularly enjoy the performing arts and all art in general. I like to build things. I enjoy leaving a mark on things.
Locally, I find membership in musical acts Cool Weapon and
The Marc Robertson Band .
Previously I have produced CRAVE , worked with The Missing Lincolns , Meatbee and Faster Than Falling (during their years as Temporal Calamity) among others. I also like doing one-off collaborations and remixes on occasion. (such as the Elyzium remix in the player above) I have participated in the creation of immersive multimedia installations with Bill Viola , David Worrall , Dean Golja and Kimmo Vennonen . I have also worked on films with EoR Media , Nineteenth Hole Productions and Afterparty Productions in a sound production capacity.
I am always open to collaboration or assistance on other projects. Message me via MySpace or these other means if you wish to get in touch.

I Am Young (but I don't need your discipline)
Over the last couple of years I've been in and out for a number of acts and it's been an awful long time now since I finished anything of my own and put it out there.
So that got me thinking... What better way to re-approach the scene than with a contrived, hot new dance number released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike license ?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:
I Am Young (but I don't need your discipline)
A theme-and-variation on Nine Inch Nails' "Discipline"
