AMNION

2013 was a productive and inspiring year full of new ideas, new people and collaborations.
With this 25min mixtape I present a sonic weave of past projects mixed with some new sounds I'm producing in 2014.
This is kind of a rough mix but basically I just wanted to get out some of the material from 2013 that either went unreleased, unused or still in demo stasis. Figured mixing this material with a recap of sounds from the 2013 would make for an interesting audio tapestry and a nice entry into the new year.

Enjoy.
Oh.. and Happy New Year

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.
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.

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

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.
