Still no word on my results for my degree. But I have been told that it can take some time. Will get back to you on that.
So some music project news; mumble(speak) - A new full length studio based album/CD has pretty much been finished. It will likely be called " 2 - having learnt a few things about people". I'm looking at doing some kind of launch/live gig later in the year.
Broken Tiny performed live for the first time since August 2006 at the Glitchfest in Esperence on April 5th.
Although I was on fairly early in the day, the response was quite good. I'm looking at
evolving the sound of this project to be more about power electronics and distortions and less
about beats, but we'll see. At the end of our TRIAD run (see below), I will be performing as
Broken Tiny at Tom Hall's Sonic Boom in New Farm, Queensland on May 10.
The metal/drone thing I do with Scot Cotterell (TRIAD/User/Evil Goat)
called DÜO also performed at Glitchfest. It was great to fill the forest
and the hills with slabs of distorted guitar.
M.0.1.0 (the duo with Aaron Metcalf) have launched our Myspace page
with some tunes and more info of upcoming activities coming soon.

As I write, the first Australian TRIAD tour has started, with two gigs
having taken place, one at Devonport Regional Gallery (in the North
of the state and including a workshop) and at Hobart's Inflight ARI
(who are also helping with sponsoring the tour). Thanks to all who

Whilst I'm away on tour I will be exhibiting a new installed video version
of the (planned) yearly performance called 'Exhalation 2009'. It is part of
a group exhibition called 'Lust For Life' at CAST in North Hobart and
curated by Lucy Bleach. I won't be in Hobart for the opening (which is on
May 1st at 6:00pm) and after a preliminary install, the final setup will be
undertaken by the ever-lovely Ms Rees (who has a new blog dontcha know).
I will be back in time for the artist's talk (24th?) and get to see it installed at that point.
Check it out.
For those interested, I'm using the networking site Twitter for an ongoing
online poetic work. Essentially I aim to present a personal objective every
day in place of the 'Today I feel a little sad' or 'had a great cup of coffee today'
kind of messages. I know some folks find Twitter a little silly and pointless
and of course it can be, I kinda thought this myself. But you are able to make
use of the Internet in ways other than chatting up people, web stalking, posting
images of drunken hi-jinks and so forth. Anyway if you want to check it out it's
called 'Web Objectives' and can be found at :

Okay well, that's about it for now, hope to see you on tour somewhere.
Take care of each other.
