**  Here's a video clip of a jam I had with Zan Hoffman in his basement with Aaron Dawson (Lost Subway) whilst I was in America in September. The entire, 90 minute session was recorded and released on a limited edition (27 copies) cassette entitled "Lost Subway of Undecisive God". Aaron passed away suddenly only a couple of weeks later.

** New track on the massive Smell The Stench 5 CD set, download the whole thing here

** My 2005 collaboration with Scott Sinclair "With Doors Open" is now available for free download, courtesy of Half/Theory, who described it as:

Opening with a squall of shrieking and scraping before rising into a glorious cacophony of freefalling noise, With Doors Open builds in tension and intensity before eventually opening out into soothing, drifting territory. Here too though, things are unsettled, never allowed to become narcoleptic, with dissonance hovering quietly in the background, gently nudging the listener, but never breaking them totally out of reverie.

Despite their 6-string origins, for the most part sounds here elude easy identification, there's a willingness to bust out some gnarly axe moves, unlike most experimental guitar music. Appropriately enough, this fearlessness reaches its zenith and yields it greatest fruit on the album's title track (featuring Joe Musgrove of Biffplex) - a maximalist mantra of chromatic noise blur, given wings by a towering psychedelic 'solo', cutting through the noise like light beams through smoke.

** Some new Undecisive God tracks will appear on upcoming compilation releases by Smell The Stench & Dreamland Recordings.

Recently I've begun notating new works for groups of guitarists:

Two Guitar Trios - these pieces will be performed live by the West Footscray Community String Band (featuring Chris Smith, Justin Fuller, Barnaby Oliver & myself) at:

There has since been a web page uploaded by Dreamland Records with photos and audio from the night.

There was also a limited edition compilation CD made for the night, with each artist contributing a track. I have a handful of copies you can order or trade

**  New CD out now - Eccentricites. This represents recent ground covered over the past 12 months or so with mostly live to PC recordings with no overdubs.

"Calculator", the only non-guitar track, is a noisy cut-up of voice samples provided by Greg Wadley (New Waver, Hi-God People). "Little Pieces for Guitar" explores some guitar techniques unhindered by any effects, but relying simply upon very physical playing of the guitar with hands, fingernails, slide, arms, etc. Both "The Convention of Time" and "Music that writes Itself" use the DD6 digital delay pedal in a live context to gradually build up increasing structure of guitar loops that are then improvised over, while "Home Music: Quiet Day" & "Headless" use multi-tracking to create atmospheric pieces intended to be listened to in specific settings as detailed on the CD cover.

 Upcoming shows:

!!OUT NOW!!"Offering" CD (Shame File Music) The concept behind most of the recordings on this full-length CD is the combination of guitar drones of varying tones and textures into a series of canon-based arrangements, exploring the dynamics resulting from the interplay of multiple layers of sound, both through composition and pure chance. This is also the first major Undecisive God release using mostly digital recording methods. - AU$8ppd (US$6ppd)
