I read somewhere today ‘Brisbane is the new black’

I’m really loving Brisbane, the heat, the minimal clothes one has to wear, the shops, the scene…… and so on……

Brisbane has more Oporto’s than Canberra

CBR 0 / BRIS 1

Brissy has a natural body of water that runs through the city and doesn’t smell

CBR 0 / BRIS 2

Brisbane’s bus system runs on time with more buses too

CBR 0 / BRIS 3

Brissy has decent Asian Supermarkets with the

REAL

Japanese green tea.

CBR 0 / BRIS 4

from this tally it looks like I’ll be staying in CBR next year….. ;oP

but Noosa!

Pretty stoked with this little purchase, an A-Reserve tck to see Motley Crue, need I say more. Been a fan since I was 8 (that’s 17 years) and despite my begging my mother wouldn’t let me see them at the Palais in St.Kilda when they played here in ’91, (I couldn’t see the problem cause I was 11).

Can’t wait…..

The performance tonight went really well. I was pretty happy with how mine went and I’ll talk some more about it later when I’m not so tired.

Off to Brissy tomorrow and then Noosa Sunday, really looking forward to hitting the BEACH and a break from Canberra.

I’ve put a few big days into my studio report and my work in the last few weeks and still feeling positive. Will have the 1st draft of my report in tomorrow (Friday) and then I’ll cap the day off with a performance at 6pm

Pretty happy with how the old reports shaping up and the advice this years been good cause true to their words the report is really helping me to get it straight exactly what I’m doing with my work.

Another extract from the report;

Spacial dynamics are something I am aware of both socially and in my works, the differences between a space with just me included within or myself and another 10 people, can extremely change not just the situation but also the space. I have found that people in spaces void of adequate distraction will quickly turn to others from fear of boredom, with boredom producing contemplation and self-analysis, this can make for interesting interactions if you are aware of others preconceptions.

my reports not DEEP, just RAW

Checked the show out in Manuka ‘Retrospective’ tonight and it was cranking ‘Dolphin Sex Style’ (you had to see the show to understand). Trev excelled himself once again.

Wow todays been a steamer, trying to get a little acclimatised ready for Queensland, huh. I spent a good part of it out washing my car and listening to Motley Crue my fav band since I was about 8 (that’s 17 years ago).

Been getting ready for the Performance night this Friday @ 6pm, come along if your free, it should be fun and it’ll definately be different.

My new purchase, $360-$400 in AUS and $160 from Japan, guess which option I took? Thanks to Yuko’s parents and some friends (coming soon) it will be delivered to me in a few weeks free of postage charges. ;oD

I mainly purchased it as a Mic pre-amp for field recordings as it’s USB powered but it sure as hell will make my abstract music mashes more fun too.

An interesting sound performance I watched back in 2003 in Brisbane. I can’t wait to be back there on Saturday.

Last night was a blast, props to Sam and Trev for putting on the gig and the opportunity to play. The quality of the tunes was spot on all night, I really rated it.

Volley Love

My live set went alright, I made plenty of mistakes but also learnt alot. Everything I played was my own but for next time I’ll be having a few more of my own made up loops prior to the performance.

No pics for the night as I was using my camera to record the audio, but Check these Pics Out over @ Walking on Thin Ice
