Here is where I'll talk a bit about current practices/projects.
Solo stuff - trying to do my minimalist folk-rock with tinges of synthy-ness. Live I sometimes do a bit of guitar looping, or ambient electronic, with spoken word.
Bands - currently in a project called Schwarzes Dreicke Technical Archive Institute, or Black Triangle. Trying to see where it goes. Meant to be music that has a sense of lost time. We've been incorporating visual and other performance elements into our live stuff - though so far these have generally been short sets. Stay tuned.
we're wanting to start gigging and to do a musical performance that incorporates visual and interactive elements through placing images, video, and texts within a performance space. We've been doing short (20 minute ) improvised performances at university and are wanting to start bringing this into public spaces and galleries at full performance length. For example, one thing we did this year was hand out photographs to the audience to hold whilst we performed.
Been mostly dabbling in varying forms of minimalism for a while. Partly out of necessity because I'm not a very technical musician and I struggle to conceptualise a whole song without forgetting what's going on. But also, because I think there is something interesting about trying to draw out and present a single concept in it's purest form. That can be my contribution that is the conversation amongst musicians and music listeners that is music itself. Maybe someone else can be inspired by the minimalism and use it to advance an idea I present. One of my big inspirations for this idea of minimalism has been Wire's album Pink Flag.
I have music on a few different platforms at the moment. The official releases are found at Bandcamp. Some jams and other track ideas I have uploaded to my SoundCloud. There is even an 'unofficial' EP/mini-album on SoundCloud called Papyrus which was a project to write a song a day for a period of time.
Over the years, I've officially released The Glisten Demos, a short four track EP that I conceptualised around utilising minimalism as inspired by Wire's album Pink Flag, whilst sounding nothing like Wire. I wanted to write songs to be a simple as possible so that each one highlights a single musical idea, and so that I could learn the process of writing and recording music. I have also put out a couple singles. Chimney has a couple different versions, the official release which is a collaboration with Darcy Harkin, then there is an alternative arrangement that is based on a live performance I performed at a Swinburne Music Society open mic event. Here is the initial instrumentals for Chimney were put together as a songwriting challenge for a now disbanded Swinburne student club called SoundFreqs. Presentation is a track that contains a field recording I took walking past a construction site at ANU in 2016 and paired that with an ambient loop I made that could never be repeated and tried to turn it in a song inspired by New Order.
