My Summer Of Salt (Part 2)
In November 2009, 6 months before moving to live in the USA, I decided that my final Sydney summer should be marked by something more than barbeques and beers – I decided to become an ocean swimmer.

In November 2009, 6 months before moving to live in the USA, I decided that my final Sydney summer should be marked by something more than barbeques and beers – I decided to become an ocean swimmer. This is a story of what happened.
The stunning, built-to-last weatherboard and steel construction of Balmain’s Dawn Fraser pool was a revelation to me the day I began my ocean swimming campaign for...

The Making of The Cure's Disintegration →
samanthalim:
Personal recollections from The Cure’s keys player, Roger O’Donnell. Quite interesting and funny insights into one of my (or even possibly my) favourite Cure albums. Over here.
Interactive Netball at the Now Now Festival
stuartbuchanan:
- Created & “facilitated” by Jon Rose, staged at the Now Now yesterday (Sunday 24th Jan). The yellow ball is connected wirelessly to Rose’s laptop and emits an ever-changing variety of sounds, related to its movement and velocity. In addition, four Now Now performers (two assigned to each team) play short stabs of improvised music when their team is in possession of the ball....

My music in the digital realm
At the moment my main music project is Alpen - I’m in the final stages of mixing the remaining uncompleted tracks, mastering those tracks which i’m happy with and starting to think about track titles and the running sequence. These tracks will all help make up the album ‘Inside The Sky’ which should be available around April 2010.
As I complete tracks I’ll be posting...
