60BPM
The first of a series of tracks that are part of a project with tempos ranging from 60BPM up to 160BPM and then back down again...the conceit being that perception of music is affected by the context.
-
Gyoza Capital of the World
This is an attempt to make a track that has the function of ambient music without using any of the horrible dull clichés...I was tempted to put in a guitar solo or some organ washes but I resisted. By the way, the gyoza capital of the world is Utsunomiya in Tochigi prefecture. If you find…

お芋 (HSP version)
This is a version of my friend Okada Pisus' track お芋 ("Oimo") which you can hear here: https://youtu.be/eq0GPf_bcFo?si=y4etZOEhET0uUPem - it's mostly about eating fries...I don't know really know why it made me think of Gustav Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War, but that's where it ended up, and…

Kuruma (Honda CR-V Dub)
This is a dub version of my friend Pisus Okada's track わくわくリボン「道」(Wakuwaku Ribbon 'Road') which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq24ps4jOjk - I just kind of Autobahn'd it...it's a great song and it's fun to do this sort of remix. It's a bit like solving a puzzle, or taking...

Lasry
A tribute to Teddy Lasry
-
F-35 Country (Richard Marles Knows AUKUS will FUKUS)
Evil doesn't get more banal than this.
-
Anthony Albanese is Aiding a Genocide
The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, has failed Australia and failed humanity. When questioned on this failure he responds like a petulant child. Perhaps Australia needs to look for a leader with a functional human conscience.
-
Penny Wong Starved Children
"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise." -...

Imre the Bandit
...from the forthcoming Gerald Murnane album...haven't got a proper title for it yet...

Long COVID
This is an effort to make a Fishmans-eque song, but it's got a bit of PILs 'The Order of Death' in there too...Madca did the vocals!
-
Hiroshima Peace Bell Nov 18 2024
A recording of the Hiroshima Peace Bell made on a quiet day at the end of winter.

Andy Prieboy - Build a Better Garden (Better Version)
A reinterpretation of Andy Prieboy's wonderful 'Build a Better Garden' - the original can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOgaAPDZ7RU Here's Andy's backstory for the song (where you can also buy it for yourself):...

Farewell Aunty Jack
This is the Tintinara Dub Orchestra's rendition of the Aunty Jack theme song, with thanks to Grahame Bond and in memory of Rory.
-
Coronavirus Suite in three movements: I. Astra, II. Moderna, III. Paxlovid
A three-movement concerto? sonata? based around the rhythms and sensations of contracting COVID-19. Yeah, I had it pretty bad. With lyrics and vocals by Madca Junko from Jebiotto ( http://jebiotto.tumblr.com ) and P-iPLE ( https://www.tumblr.com/pinple-of-death )
-
Messiah Of Evil
A slightly delayed Halloween track...anyway, I hope it's spooky! Kinda wearing the John Carpenter/Goblin influence on my sleeve, the vocals from the awesome seventies flick with the same title...go watch it!
-
子犬戦記 Koinu Senki (A Record of the Puppy Wars)
Special guests Alfie on vocals and Taiga on vocals and percussion.

Sex Maniac From the Moon
Vocals and lyrics kindly provided by Judge Gerry...
-
Moto ni modoru (Back to Normal)
Another COVID track, this time sung by Chiemi from Ichimadin - https://www.facebook.com/ichimadin/ - thank you so much! 'Moto ni modoru' means 'Go back to the start' or 'Back to the way it was'. It's used in the same way as the phrase 'Back to normal' is in English at the moment, referring to…

Ventilator Dub
Sorry. Couldn't help myself. With vocals by Bill James!
-
Survivors
Things you do while you're in lockdown...possibly the result of listening to too much Calibro 35 while binge-watching old Terry Nation shows...
-
The Installation Dub (The Green Child remix)
This is a version/remix of 'The Installation' by The Green Child from the album Shimmering Basset...you can hear/buy the original song here: https://thegreenchild.bandcamp.com/track/the-installation
-
Magpie Car Alarm Riff
Magpies can imitate a wide variety of sounds. But unlike lyrebirds, who imitate discrete noises, magpies tend to incorporate these sampled sounds into their own warbled improvisatory compositions, much like a jazz musician or a modern electronic musical artist. This is Friendo, one of our regular...
-
Duet for Magpie and Piano in C Minor
This is a proof-of-concept piece for a bigger project I'm planning some time in the future. It's basically a field recording of a magpie (Mrs Scruffy-Back) warbling in my backyard this morning, while standing on the back of a chair, with myself as the only audience member. I cleaned up the...

Magpie Carolling (1x speed, then timestretched 2x to 64x)
A recording made in my backyard of a typical magpie carol (a territorial song that a group of magpies will sing together, with one magpie starting the call and the others joining in). The first time is at normal speed, then the call has been timestretched repeatedly, starting with twice the…

I Never Seen a Spaghetti Western I Didn't Like
Started off as a dub experiment but then one thing suggested another thing and it all went off in a different direction entirely...the photo is from when Kate went to Almeria, where a lot of eurowesterns were filmed.
-
An Important Message
A quickie...prepared piano and a recording of a 1943 3DB wartime public service announcement kindly given to me by Maurice Austin, from his collection.
-
Sun A Set
I think the first record I ever owned was a K-Tel record called Looney Tunes, which was a collection of old novelty songs, including Charlie Drake's 'My Boomerang Won't Come Back'. I met Rolf Harris on my seventh birthday, when he performed at the Odeon Theatre in my home town Mt Gambier, and…

Masque Of The Red Death (COVID - 19 Dub)
They say never go full Alan Parsons...Masque of the Red Death(COVID-19 Dub) is a musical adaptation of an old recording of Basil Rathbone reading Edgar Allan Poe's story of the same name. It just seemed sort of relevant right now...with special guest Tim Catlin ( http://timcatlin.net/ )on guitar...
-
Toki's Ten Years of Dreams
We picked Toki up ten years ago to the day, on January 1, 2010, from an ad in the local Trading Post. If there's something he does most of all, it's sleeping. I think it's natural to wonder what he dreams about so much of the time...
-
Skippy Inna Jungle
Been working on this for a while...just a dumb joke taken to ridiculous lengths...made in Renoise with an old R-8 Roland drum machine and some obvious samples...
-
Dub Setup
Live dub mix on my new Allen & Heath GL2200 mixer...just some drum and instrument loops in Ableton and some flute that Kate played, run out of the computer then through the mixer and back again. The effects were a Boss RX-100 spring reverb through an Acetone Stereo Phasor, a Boss RE-20 Space Echo...

Bokuhm
Just screwing around with some new plugins.

高倉組応援歌 (Takaqura-gumi Fight Song)
The Takaqrua-gumi ( http://takaquragumi.com/ ) are a legal yakuza talent agency mainly composed of ex-yakuza members who use their experience to socially beneficial ends. I read about them in an article in the Japan Times (here:...
-
Reverse Karaoke
This is a proof-of-concept piece made in the spirit of a gift to the various kind people who let me record them singing while I was in Japan in March of 2019. In most cases I was (and am) unfamiliar with the original versions and my Japanese is still too poor to understand most of the lyrics. But...
-
Patrick's Dub
The movie Patrick was a pretty big thing for me when I was a kid. To start with, it starred Sir Robert Helpmann, who had also grown up in Mount Gambier. While he was great in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, seeing him in Patrick was like discovering Vincent Price had once lived next door...Much later on…

Oriental Stir-fry Dancehall
All of the sounds (except for the sampled voices, obviously) were produced by my Suiko ST-50, a weird Japanese instrument from the late eighties or nineties which was presumably designed for classical Japanese musicians to practice with at home. I have never eaten Red Rooster.
-
Quiet Bunyip
This is a musical tribute to the greatest tourist trap ever built - the Murray Bridge Bunyip. When I was a kid my family would pass through Murray Bridge on the way to and from Adelaide, and we'd always stop to put in a twenty cent coin and watch the bunyip do its routine. It would usually be…

Under Mi Vegemite
This track is not an endorsement of Vegemite or the Vegemite lifestyle, which I personally find abhorrent. But the Aeroplane Jelly song is in waltz time, so I couldn't get it to fit. If I drew a Venn diagram that included people familiar with the Vegemite song and those familiar with the works of...
-
Do Good, Dog-God! Do, O God! (Atheist version)
Someone asked me for a version of the main track from the album *without* Gerald's vocals for a Resident Advisor mix...so here it is. I'd never listened to it nude before...the whole thing was built around the recitation, much like building a house around the occupants while they go about their...

Blue Lake (One Drop)
My hometown. They say it's a nice place to visit.

Pocket Miku vs The Krimson King Inna Dub Stylee
I don't really know what happened here...started off with a well-balanced rhythm built in Xronomorph ( http://www.dynamictonality.com/xronomorph.htm ) then it sort of went wayward...the voice is provided by a Gakken NSX-39 Pocket Miku played with a stylus, just like a stylophone. Nice to finally...
