CDR is a unique underground music event that invites producers,
musicians and appreciators of futuristic sounds together to hear
unreleased music on a big soundsystem. All are welcome, but if you are
also a maker of music, then we invite you to be part of this special
CDR Session at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Friday June 5th, 2009 as part of Creative Sydney "Notes from the Underground".
You can expect night of completely new/unreleased
music from local and overseas producers all programmed from what is
brought down on the night. This is a chance for the music makers to
test out their new sounds on a killer system, while the rest of us get
to be the first to check out what our favourite producers are about to
drop on the unsuspecting music world.
CDR is the brainchild of Burnt Progress,
headed by London creative catalyst, Tony Nwachukwu. The Sydney chapter of this worldwide movement began in 2006 by local music
lovers Lorna Clarkson, Mark Pritchard, Simon Hindle and Sofie Loizou. CDR Sydney is growing steadily into a regular meeting space for
underground
music enthusiasts to hear everything from dubstep to techno, folk to
indie and soul to reggae.
TO MAKE YOUR MUSIC PART OF THIS EVENT:
all
you need to do is drop a cdr burn of your unreleased track into the CDR
BOX @ The MCA by 8:30pm, Friday June 5th. Stickers will be provided for
you to write your artist name, track name and contact details.

I first became interested in creating a brain controlled musical instrument after meeting Scott Eggert in late 2007. Scott has extensive experience in this area in the past -- we both imagined that a brain interface like this would be fun and extremely useful as a controller for audio platforms. We then started a plan to create a system that accepts can input information from Pure data to Ableton Live.

A piece I wrote for a theatre performance called "The Gleaners". It was performed on analogue cassette at the CarriageWorks night time #2 program in Sydney, July 2007.

The Shimmer (currently in Prototype 1 phase)is a remotely operated
instrument used for creating
percussive and semi-pitched metallic
shimmering tones and textures using mechanical hammers
that are
capable of rate and depth variation, and a midi controller.
It is also a self contained sound
installation instrument, with the ability
to play without the aid
of a computer, or live human control.
Prototype 2 will also perform as a concert instrument by using microphones
in each
bowl to amplify, alter and create additional
artificial sound worlds.
