** 2012 marks twenty years since the first Undecisive God recording. It seems like as good a time as any to begin phasing out the "Undecisive God" moniker, as I increasingly record and perform under my own name. The musical journey continues, but under the name of "Clinton Green" instead of "Undecisive God".
** Archive nine: 2006 2CD is out now.

** New compilation CD The Shape of Sound: Volume 2 (Iceage Productions) features a previously-unreleased Undecisive God track "At Uluru (excerpt)", which was written as a live soundtrack for the Cantrill film of the same name in 2010. Copies are available from Shame File Music.

** Improvising Machines - 3 sets with Clinton Green

317 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

Undecisive God/Clinton Green with:
Marco Fusinato
Ernie Althoff
Reunion Sacred Ibis (RSI)
Buttress O'Kneel
Riki-Metisse Marlow & Gabriel Carazo
About three years ago, Clinton Green (AKA Undecisive God) began experimenting with multiple turntables prepared with layered shards of broken records and objects. The original concept was to create an "improvising machine", where the turntable randomly skips from vinyl shard to shard, playing tiny samples of each record interspersed with the percussive effect created by the tone arm colliding with the jagged edges of the records. Green would initially improvise on guitar, before progressing to designing compositional structures for multiple turntables alone.
At "Improvising Machines", Green returns to the original concept of prepared turntables as generators of improvisatory materials, this time with multiple performers invited to improvise with his turntables. Three ensembles will perform with Green & different turntable set-ups, featuring a cross selection of Melbourne's avant garde improvisors and innovators.
Performers will mix-and-match across three ensemble performances, exploring sonic collisons between turntables and a range of instrumentation including guitar, home-made instruments, hacked video games, plunderphonics, climaxing with a massed turntable event assisted by Riki-Metisse Marlow & Gabriel Carazo.See more
