Work in progress: “Moderation”

A little sample of what we were working on in the studio last week… cutting up samples for the intro of a song.

Freestyle jamming at Colab, Perth

Whenever I can, I get myself down to the monthly Colab jam session… on a Sunday night at the Moon Café, Perth MCs take turns getting up and doing fully improvised freestyling, with a live band providing the grooves. Here’s a little sample of the last song at night’s session, with yours truly on the vocals.

My two cents on US election 2016

Me having a rant… I’ve been quiet on the US election front, because I think it’s important to ponder an idea carefully before shooting off an ill-thought out opinion about it. Anyway, after a bit of reflection, here’s my two cents worth, or at least as much of it as I could distill into 90 sec.

Under One Sun – live on Telethon

I recently got up in the dead of the morning to perform live and naked (read: clothed, but with no band and no keyboard – argh!) on Channel 7’s Telethon. Here’s a video of my performance:
