Lastly, lifewise. I have moved to Melbourne Australia. Settling in and getting to know the place, new opportunities afoot!

And, that's it I think, phew...

Upcoming Music: Stopscape and Karramantha

Out on August 12 on Itsu Jitsu, Can't Quite Recall is an experimental abstract soundscape that's been in the making for a while, with bits and pieces of it appearing in all my previous mixes. But its now finally seeing a release thanks to Jason Kavanagh! It's the first one under the Stopscape alias, a name I'd like to use again sometime.

Cover is a work in progress.

The next Loose Link related release is Karramantha, a glitch-step collaboration with Option Command. It will feature tracks by us plus many different awesome remixes, so far including FSOLboard natives Ross Baker, Noisesurfer and cubus. Tracks are still being worked on and many more remixes are forthcoming hopefully! Here's a preview:

The Original Karramantha, work in progress:

Sven Meyer Remix:

I'm on the look out for more remixes too, so if you'd like to have a go give me a message and download the sample pack:

This release doubles as a soundtrack to a science fiction animation I'm working on. A prequel of sorts to a much larger story I've had in my head for ages. It will be a flash animation and it will be posted at places like Vimeo and youtube. The cover of the album is one frame I'm working on from the animation.

One more thing... Junk Moon progress: its getting there.

Two Current Animated Projects

Even though I'm thinking about many, I am currently working on two different animated projects, one is Gospels From The Ark: Junk Moon with Kate Ann Morris, and the other is Secret Agent Blokes with Shining Dove.

Episode 1 of Junk Moon is charging along quite nicely, the trailer for that was well received.

Secret Agent Blokes will eventually come in two forms, one of them being a three to five minute pilot episode. Shining and I have started a blog to track its total process. You'll be able to read more of what its about there, plus have looks at the script, storyboards, draft and eventually finished glimpses of animation, character designs and more. It will be updated over time, if you are an animator, musician, fx, editor or writer then extra help is very welcome:
