SPRING
Never a dull moment and the music coming through the studio has been as unpredictable as the recent Perth weather.
Very pleased to announce that the new Noongar Lullabies album and book project is set to launch on Saturday 2nd November at Mandoon Estate. It was a beautiful heart-felt project and really enjoyed the sessions with the Maaman Weitj men's group, the musical director Kobi Arthur Morrison and musician and language facilitator Cyndy Moody and of course the lovely Elly Jones from Community Arts Network who co-ordinated it all and kept everything on track.
A new Sascha Ion & The Elements EP of her driving grunge rock is done and should be released very soon. Monotonic's psych-rock album is in last tweaks mode. The Moon is My Machine is about to release an almost Motown inspired song next month (recorded minimally with just a couple of old 60s era ElectroVoice dynamic microphones). Cherry Pearce's next song is moving towards release.
Started new projects with Keira Watson (album of beautifully sad love songs ), Georgina Dacheff (so great to record her set of songs driven by her wonderful piano playing) and Mickey Montella (dark wave exotic power ballad specialist !). Had some great fun recording the Kalamunda Performers children's choir with a track for their latest concert. My talented intern Pete Spence also brought in Shift Report for some tracking.
About to start work on a cool new indie project with Arthur Hawkes-Wellbourne and also smash out a hip hop album.
