artifactory residency

march 2012


As artifactory artist in residence I will be using the hacker space to cut vinyl records using a machine called the Swarfomat. These custom cut records will be pieced back together in weird and wacky combinations.

The records will feature in my performance at NoizeMaschin!!! #8 and #9.



Sir Thomas debut album

febuary 2012


Two hot weeks were spent in Margaret River at Lolly Box Studios recording songs for the long anticipated Sir Thomas album. Sir Thomas is a Western Australian band with the unique line-up of piano and vocals, keyboards and electronics, bass and drums. They have been compared to Sigur Ros and have influences including Radiohead, Elbow, Nick Drake, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Sir Thomas blend driving ostinato rhythms, layered textures and odd time signatures with well crafted lyrics and beautiful melodies.

The album is currently being mixed.
