MUSIC JOURNO: NEW AGE NOISE YOUTUBE INTERVIEWS Pt1

I have always been passionate about music, and it has been my delight to interview some of the under-represented young artists I've been working with in Western Sydney..

This is the first 2 of 6 interviews.. and its to help promote the new mixtape at https://icemusic.bandcamp.com/album/new-age-noise-constellation-2

Here's the first couple with a rapper that makes me laugh and inspires me all the time, Biggie Deez.. and experimental guitarist who I've performed with, Okuesha Kills.

Romantic Grasses of Kandos Zine

As part of Cementa Festival 2019 I made a Romantic Grasses of Kandos booklet featuring grasses you can find in the Wiradjuri/Kamillaroi area.

I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land as THE owners. Sovereignty was never ceded. The Wiradjuri/Kamillaroi nation was slaughtered and colonized.  I pay my respect to the elders, past, present and emerging and hope steps will be taken to give back the land and children that was taken.

NEW ON SHAME FILE MUSIC: Club Sound Witches - CSW "#freakinmeout" CD digital - #freakinmeout consists of Club Sound Witches’ (Matt Earle & Nicola Morton) transcendent live performance at Melbourne’s Make It Up Club in July 2019, plus a longer studio track (in two parts). The beats are slightly off, you wonder if that bleep is a mistake or genius, vocals waft Circe-like out of subterranean caves backed by water dripping from stalactites. Soundtracks for uncertain times.
Comes in a 4-panel digipak with Matt Earle’s iconic inkblot-esque photocopy art, limited edition of 100 copies.
Digital version available now (all three tracks included in digital download), CD shipping mid-April. Pre-order CD by 15 April 2020 for special price of $12 (20% saving). https://shamefilemusic.bandcamp.com/album/freakinmeout or from the Shame File Music website.
