Exciting News – I will be co-hosting the Difficult Listening radio show on RTR FM. This show runs on Sunday night from 9 – 11pm and is currently hosted by Bryce Moore and Rosalind Appleby. The show plays a wide range of new music / electronic music / sound art and I am uber happy to be able to share some of the music I enjoy.

I wish I had listened to more of this show in the past few years, going back through the re-streams I can see what I’ve been missing out on. I want to play all kinds of interesting music but I’m particularly interested as the show being a friendly resource to the many musicians / composers / sound artists / performers, talented people I have met that would love to have more opportunities to have their music played.

Please check out the difficult listening webpage and the RTR FM page for streams. Listeners outside Western Australia please use the internet broadcast.

You can mail any CD’s to -

The bus. Osaka, food. Record shops. Presents. Sweet hearted Christmas. Skype. Casa art gallery. Shinkansen. Left my camera in Tokyo. Whale sharks. Big speakers. Bookshops. The dress and the different face, dancers strange.

Performed with psychedelic desert. Higardo de rape. Jim2achine.

Five sho’s in a row’. 8 shows in 11 days. 12 sets in 11 days. 50 (?) Copies of two clouds cd in Japanese hands. Nobody here buys cd’s either maybe. 6 underground venues and a bookstore. Hokage, socrates, nanahari, Otto manzheim, special colours and muzenji.

Stop biting your nails. Worlds largest giant wheel, and giant squid? Difficult to tell
