Wild to live in a time where peaceful protesting of genocide will get you brutalised by the police whilst Herzog, a sociopath and active architect, participant and proponent of said genocide, is ushered in on the red carpet. Also he’s visited Epstein Island, which was probably all fine and above board - how could someone who values human life so little be up to anything untoward on a convicted paedophile and sex trafficker’s island 🧐 #freepalestinemelbourne #freepalestine
New Mallee Songs record is out today!
‘Instrumentals’ is a lush electronic affair, quite the departure from previous records, but still resonant with Mike Skinner’s natural sense of melody and his fuzzed out, psychedelic song forms. Was a real treat helping out on this one alongside @casey.hartnett
🇵🇸 All proceeds form the record go directly to mutual aid in Gaza for @oreda6501 and @ibrahim_palestine20 🇵🇸

Bring Her Back is a wild ride of a horror flick: inspired, disturbing, and wildly creative. I’d describe the score in similar terms — written by the insanely talented @cornelwilczek & @alexolijnyk , with some additional compositions by yours truly — and I’m proper pumped to see it all come together on the big screen. Such a pleasure to work with these cool cats, and all the amazing players who performed our compositions at @newmarketstudios . Check it out at your local cineplex from today, and make sure you’re wearing an extra set of pants as, just between you and I, it gets a little spoookyyyyy 👻🩸🔪
It’s a spooooky day so here’s some spooooky news: I made the music for season 2 of Spooky Files, and it’s such a fun time! Great writing, acting, and practical creature costumes, sick visual effects, and the music… well honestly I wouldn’t mind going back and tweaking some of the cues (there’s a couple of guitar parts that could be simplified and I would love to ease off some of the low mids in my mixes) but otherwise I’m very proud of it. It’s technically for 8-12 year olds but I reckon more like 6-100 years is more apt. Watch on ABC iView now 👻
PP Rebel are playing at The Tote front bar this Sunday at the very respectable hour of 3pm 🤤. I’ll be hitting the skins (drumming if you’re not a musicio). Also playing will be sick-as scrappy shredding duo ‘Hot Tubs Time Machine’
When I lived in Berlin I found a Super 8 camera and began recording everywhere I went. I filmed some incredible moments - being surprised by a deer in an abandoned train yard; a car on fire in Grunewald forest; two teens throwing a bicycle in a river - but later found out that the camera wasn’t actually recording during this time (just making a sound that suggested it was). I later acquired a working super 8 camera, and the footage you see here is taken from two of the three tapes that made it back with me to Melbourne. It’s mostly of Spreepark, an abandoned theme park in Berlin’s southeast, but there’s also some bits and bobs from my daily life in the city, including some especially ghostly footage of an English class I ran with a group of 1st graders.
The song is called “Haunted House”, and it’s taken from my 4th solo LP ‘Cave Without A Name’, which you can listen to / buy on my Bandcamp page (link in bio).
Edited by my friend and all round lovely guy @avbadham Thanks to @lucykostos for rescuing and developing the footage
My new record 'The Same Cave' is out today on Eternal Music Projects. There's a small run of lovely cardboard gatefold cds for sale on Bandcamp (link in bio), get 'em while they're hot.
It's quite a pivot in my approach to music making, taking the parts from my previous folk record and transforming them into entirely new, sonically dense electronic pieces. Some of them are pretty intense, while others are quite relaxing; some start relaxing, then get a little intense, then revert to being relaxing again; while others would seem like they're almost too relaxing and then, all of a sudden, you'll find yourself being hit with a pretty legitimate wave of intensity.
Thanks to my talented friends who's vocal and instrument parts I've repurposed on this record: Lucy Roleff, Peter Joseph Head, Sebastian Beswick, Leyla Varela, and Ruth Schoenheimer.
