I am about to embark on my first tour of Japan and will be playing a number of shows with good friend Max Blair (Mapping.26.Napping Cats).

In addition to playing a number of duo’s with Max I will also present a couple of live pieces all working around the theme of ‘cross-pollination’, thus being between processed and resynthesis of analogue synth and field recording derived from Albany, Western Australia that I captured while there as part of The Perth International Arts Festival earlier this year.

Max and I have been rehersing alot lately and have also been recording.

Listen to a live extract from one of our rehearsals >>>>>>

Lots happening:

• Prepping for a gig at Tongue&Groove on Wednesday March 26th.
• Currating an exploratory sound evening at the Audiopollen Social Club on April 6th.
• Rehearsing for Live Performances in Japan – April 8th till May 8th.
• Getting a new housemate for our place.

Out our front door tonight.

Hall uses ‘live electronics as extracted from melodic and field recordings’. I must say things start out great, the first two tracks are nice pieces of soft versus loud, and have a scraping element – almost like Organum. But then the next six tracks are much alike his previous ‘Floats’ release. Delicate, crackling, warm and all the other usual ingredients of ambient glitch are present and above all correct. Hall does it absolutely in a great way. (Frans de Waard – Vital Weekly)
