red plum and snow are taking a break for a while, we have an album and an EP finished, realease isnt worked out yet…

on the music front:

blastcorp: i’ve been a bit lazy really, though there are some processed guitar songs coming up. playing in adelaide in early march, see the gigs section for full deets.

red plum and snow: have turned into a 3 piece (kris gretchen and ruben!) and playing in darwin and adelaide soon to warm up for the release of their debut album later in the year. ruben is from the fairweather dolls/weathermen and brings his formidable array of weirly tuned guitars and distortion pedals. yay!

the bionic hearts: I’ve spent the new year recording an album with my favourite singer/songwritier, miss gemma nourse, who is the bionic hearts. I think im joining the band. expect some shows in the southern states starting in march.

artwise:
I had my darwin exhibtion in late december, which was really fun. ive been doing some poster and CD design work and planning some exhibitions around australia for 2009. I’ll let you know when i get it all organised!

Blastcorp live, a harp recital and 2 exhibition openings. Busy!

Hi, things have been hectic. Thanks to everyone who has ordered artworks, you are keeping me busy. Keep ‘em coming!
I’ve uploaded all the latest artworks and sketches here, plus there’s a new page featuring time lapse videos of me making art. They look cool.

Harp is going well, still really hard, I’m learning an Aphex Twin song for an upcoming student concert.
Planning to spend more time in the studio finishing off the Red Plum & Snow album in the next few weeks, then its some hard editing for my breakbeat project Moke (with Juzzy).

I’ve also uploaded a bunch of new videos (one by me, two by deb) in the Japan Adventures section, get viewing.

From August to December 2008, I am making a limited edition series of personalised, commissioned artworks, to earn the rest of the money needed to buy a harp. Each artwork is commissioned; you can choose what you would like painted, and then i paint it!

I am taking orders as of Friday 8th August, 2008.

Please visit the Blastcorp Art>Harp Project page to find out what it’s all about, or just download the Blastcorp Art Order Form now.

The artworks look like this:

well, i’ve got a new favourite drum machine. its called glitchDS and it rocks. its a homemade piece of software for the nintendo ds and you can get it here! it’s like having an MPC in your pocket! yay.
