Sound production and DJ trickery of Eliot Palmer, hailing from Christchurch, living in Melbourne.. .
Undertaking a few projects - studying my masters - on leave at the moment. Doing sound design work and researching the effect of low frequency sound on the body, and vibration in performance spaces.... A collection of notes and musings from my research with a vibrating floor can be seen at an old RMIT University page .
Other aspects include a Max/MSP project which aims to emulate the sound of objects resonating and buzzing to bass sounds. (just imagine being in a big old warehouse, heavy dub playing, roof and everything not bolted down rattling - that sound)
I'm still working on the project - slowly.
and as for the DJ stuff...
Foundation Stepper has selected a mix of dubwise, jungle and reggae beats out and about and around Melbourne since 2001. His reggae, dub and downbeat residencies and support slots include venues as Black Cat, Evelyn, Espy, First Floor, Prince of Wales and Hi-Fi Bar; as well as gigs with The Red Eyes , Chant Down , Ruffneck Souljahs , Livewire and Dialekt.
He has also played gigs in NZ and Japan, appearing at Disco Beans , Osaka as well as some other venue where the reggae heads were quite confused by what he was playing.
Foundation Steppers jungle sets are a polyrhythmic mash-up of new school ragga sounds, toxic dancehall and concrete jungle with smatterings of breakcore, heavyweight U.K. dub and eleven secret herbs and spices.
Foundation Stepper is Dr Jeckyl to the Sock Monster, who presents the sillier end of this music spectrum with greater emphasis on breakcore and head crushing dub sounds.
Sock Monster and Foundation Stepper mixes have featured on the site of the legendary Mashit jungle label.
