Over the last few months I have been involved with the heavily progressive and experimental art think space known as the Tiffaney Bishop Collective.
My initial involvement with tbC was simply made by association through one of my art students needing to get out of a creative vacuum. The tbC helped her to find artistic direction and support with her folio development.
Since my first meeting with Tiffaney at the studio I have found my self engaging with the young creatives who dwell in this space and produce amazing work. I was asked if I'd present to the group at one of the studio school workshops a little insight into my practice and for that I gave a presentation on sound art, audio production and performance.
I am now currently involved with a new and developing project with tbC for which I'am creating an interactive soundscape installation.
This soundscape is initiated, directed and composed via the roll of the dice. Tiffaney explains... The Dice is used in a similar way to an early incarnation of this work - triggering, directing and composing works randomly. (inspired by tbC member Damien McIntyre's synaesthetic ability to see numbers as colours). 
The audio side of this project moves into version two in February next year when it will be installed at the Footscray Community Arts Centre

You can listen to some of the soundscapes produced at the End of the Line festival last month here on my Soundcloud. Combination of field recordings, synthesised materials and manipulated vocal tracks.

Sonic Sketching [tbC] by Amnion
New release by Wychdoktor featuring a remix by Amnion. Heavy industrial and rhythmic material with  deep ambience and ritual soundscape. I'm honoured to have contributed to such a strong release.
Check it out on the Wychdoktor Bandcamp.
 
Copies of the remix album are printed, pressed and ready for shipping. You can get a digital download from most digital online retailers and you can also get a CD copy from the Bottle-Imp Productions store


Next week will see the release of the Amnion remix album 'Slow Calm' 


Curated by Daniel Tuttle and released through Bottle-Imp Productions, 'Slow Calm' brings together a diverse range of talented and respected artists and their unique reinterpretations of the title track.
'Slow Calm' is a subtle orchestral piece that uses a single violin recoding looped, layered and manipulated. The track has an ebb and flow feel to it, constantly progressing and developing over time with subtle details being revealed with each new cycle of the violins foreboding tones.

The track was originally produced in 2008 to be included on a compilation CD and has since been used in performances, installations, dance choreography and film. I am excited to finally release this piece along with these sensational remixes. I am truly grateful to all the artists who contributed their time and effort to this release.

  1. Slow Calm [original]
  2. Slow Calm (In the wake of Walpurga's ashes) remix by Shinjuku Thief
  3. Tropic Calm remix by Bramble

Sometime has past since my last update in 2012. Here's a quick catch up on my more recent activities.

February: Melbourne based residency at North Melbourne Town Hall with Cagoule Productions.
I was in creative lockdown with Scottish based choreographer and film director Abby Warrillow and a handful of enthusiastic Melbourne based dancers for an entire week in Feb.
Over the past two years Cagoule Productions and I have collaborated on various film and dance media projects all of which had been produced cross continental via Skype conversations and Dropbox file sharing.
This was an opportunity for our team to finally collaborate and develop new work together in the studio. The final product will result in a short dance film piece combining original choreography and sound design.Stay tuned for news on the final video. 
For now you can listen to my short audio excerpts I produced in the studio for different parts of the choreography.
