STILL: Soundtrack on Oxtail Records

STILL: Roster 100 Days 300x300

Still is an audio-visual project based on photos of the same patch of sky I took for 100 consecutive days, at 8am every morning. At the same time I composed a soundtrack to match the meditative atmosphere of the photographic project. The collage grid was shown in Head on Photo Festival, the soundtrack was released on Oxtail Records. The 100 photos can be viewed in this online gallery. I’ll also be playing a few solo shows to support the release:

27 Aug 2022 | Sydney | Petersham Bowling Club
04 Sept 2022 | Sydney | Moshpit
03 Dec 2022 | Sydney | Alpha House
14 Jan 2023 | Bangalow | Film Festival
20 May 2023 | Wentworth Falls | 1000ClicksWest

SNOB CLUB: Bremen, Berlin, Frankfurt

Snob Club Flyer Tour 2022

My instrumental trio SNOB CLUB has a short tour coming up in Germany. These shows are always intense and cathartic. It’s been a while because my co-musicians and I don’t live in the same country, and international travel to/from Australia was out of the question for more than two years. We last toured in 2019, then had another tour booked in 2020 which was cancelled. Anyway, this time it’s happening.

23 Jun 2022 | GER | Bremen | Lila Eule
24 Jun 2022 | GER | Berlin | Schokoladen
25 Jun 2022 | GER | Frankfurt | ExZess

All shows supported by Krälfe

STILL: Head On Photo Festival

My first visual artwork STILL has been accepted into Head On Photo Festival. It’s based on 100 photos of the same patch of sky I took at 8am in the morning for 100 consecutive days. I made this a while ago and it’s amazing to see it now gets this kind of recognition. STILL will be on display at Paddington Reservoir Gardens in Sydney from 20 until 28 November, as a projection slide, among semi-finalists. I’d like to thank the festival jury for selecting the work among all those submissions.

For info about the festival please go to the festival website.
