The stars move through the seasons
New constellations emerge from the north east horizon
Winter’s icy air and long nights
Give clarity and darkness to brilliant tract of dusty jewels
Spread out overhead in long freezing nights
We count the satellites and shooting stars
We rise in the early hours hoping to catch a meteor shower
Or the unbelievable tail of distant comet. Read the rest of this entry »
Woohoo! Another album added to the super slick system that is Bandcamp. This time it’s the mmd_as album that Alex Strain and I finished early 2009.
You can stream the tracks for free, or if you’d like a higher quality download there is a payment system set up. Enjoy, and please share it with the world! 
At some point we’ve all got to realise when an idea is a dud that we need to pick ourselves up and get on with the most natural and healthy solution. I think this post can be pretty much summed up by that sentiment.
After much personal drama, both in my own head and with my partner R – we have decided strongly to give up on this whole Brisbane idea and move back to Armidale. More on why we came to this realisation later; but already R has an excellent job secured in her interest-area and I have been chasing work back at UNE. And, it looks like we have a rental lined up as well – a cat friendly RSPCA friend has offered an old house close to town. R’s job starts very, very soon and the rental may be available in much the same time – which means we could be negotiating a move back up that hill to New England quick smart! To sum up without the rambling, we’re both really happy about this and I’m looking forward to getting back to that lifestyle, and I am looking forward to getting back to a stable headspace to pick up my artistic projects again.
Well it’s long been promised, but I’ve finally got around to taking some photos of the new studio space. To share these I though I’d be sane and join up to Flickr. So let’s see what we’ve got:
Edit: Trying out this:
How exciting! I’m up on Bandcamp. Check it out!
To start things off I’ve added my 2008 album 3 Smargaid Maerd. So far I’m impressed with what this system has to offer and I’m thinking of using it as my main way of sharing and distributing my music from now on. My existing mp3s and media will still remain on this server to retain linkage, but anything new from now on will be Bandcamp only. I’ll be adding more to it when I can, so I’ll let you all know when I do.
