Australian electronic musician since 1979. Concerts, soundtracks, installations.
You will mostly see me on Mastodon.
I hate the politics here.
Update: we're (Severed Heads) playing London in July - one of the tracks being a mutilation of the Teddy Bears Picnic. The clip is all Bears and Forest made from found bits of metal. Today made the first Forest test: here's a start. As we make more trees the scene gets more 'foresty'. #video #music

Ok had a time out. Let’s try BlueRinse again with some guard rails turned on.

Images from a live performance video in progress, sequencing versions of our track 'Petrol' from 1983-2025. If the concept works out then I'll develop a few of these mixes in the UK mid year live set.
We constantly update videos - and people aren't noticing. So let's show it.

A special kind of hell equipped with torture racks and the video clips of the abyss. The Gym.

You thought you had vanquished Happy Hard Core. You were wrong.

I’m using Openvibe. I’m seeing posts from Nostr. I did not want or select Nostr. Why? Is it paid advertising? #openvibe #nostr

Wicked: given the possible result not at all a bad film, a slight smell of Harry Potter but with racism as a core. Less bursting into song than expected, Sets a little AI at times. Wizard as evil Walt Disney is fun. Flying monkeys still scary. #movie

Ms Fixit’s Dinosaur Car. Does she fix the car or drive around in it fixing things? All we know is it’s Making Life Easy. #UtterRubbish

That magic moment when the author’s name flips to the top of the generic covers of their endless sequels. #books #sales #publishing

International touring sound fun and exciting until you get to the part with the immigration rules which is just after the spreadsheet with arrival and departure time conflicts.

At least we’re not doing the USA where they basically tell you to piss off. #music #travel

If we have not met before may I introduce you to Australia’s pride and joy ANKO - the ultimate generic brand. There is nothing that ANKO cannot craft and underprice - A New Kind Of KMart and my constant artistic muse. I’ll replay previous delights if you like. #shopping #retail #dodgy
