Today I played trumpet in the studio, on a song that means a lot to me. I nearly cried, but embraced strength in place of vulnerability. Music excavates, revealing long-forgotten moments. #songs #sydneymusic #indie

My version of In Liverpool by Suzanne Vega. I recorded it at home in my bedroom and filmed in my backyard with some footage shot last year (cos you never know when you'll need some ex-psych hospital, sandstone buildings B-roll) at my art school at Callan Park. Huge thanks to Russ t Rokk for mixing.

The instruments I used were 2 electric basses (my 80's Tokai Hard Puncher and '02 Fender Mustang short scale). Plugin for drums (I felt stoked to pay for the Reaper plugins - they're pretty awesome). I'm working on an album for the end of the year, so this cover was to check my idea of using just bass, drum and vox (no guitars and keys) wasn't too completely nuts. Maybe it's a little bit arty... and a little bit goth'n'roll. xx

The blurb on the back of my greeting cards says “Upon an hypnotic audio drone backdrop, the objects come alive – a cluster of vibrators slide across the canvas, dragging a paint mop. Self-determined, they leave a glistening trace. They are harnessed together and move as one, yet with their own speed and rhythm depending on how much they are turned on.” #machineart #contemporarypainting #contemporaryartist #vibratings #paintings #greenart #sydneyartist

I try to be serious when I’m the studio... but silliness is much more fun and calms the nerves.
