Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 14. Gotta sleep now

The closing track of Sunday Morning is Gotta sleep now. It’s an atmospheric soundscape created from a series of guitar loops, with additional vocals by Susannah Legge. Originally clocking in around 7mins, it was cut back to a rather short 2:27 so it would fit on the B-side of a (future) vinyl release. In the […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 13. Your timing’s all wrong

You’re timing’s all wrong is a quirky sonic experiment, that oscillates between a rather sweet acoustic guitar melody and the wonderfully crazy nebulaphone by bleep labs. I love crazy musical gadgets and the idea that machines can be chaotic and unpredictable. This is i’m sure why i don’t really want to fix my juno 106… […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 12. The night beetle

Track 12… The Night Beetle is the first single from Sunday Morning. OK, I confess… i’m obsessed with the Beatles… and with Sunday Morning I really wanted to create an album that flowed like the B-Side of Abbey Road, where each track seamlessly flows into the next, despite the diversity. This track, is a homage […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 11. Neighbours on ice

Track 11, Neighbours on ice is definitely the darkest moment on the new album. This track was written as a response to some fairly erratic and insomniac moments from next door. The beat is deliberately off-kilter and guitar noise bursting at the seams… on the edge of losing it. Artist Trudy Moore creates 3-dimensional drawings […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 10. Five times

Well, back to blogging about the gallery exhibiton! nearly there… just 4 more works to write about! Track 10 is called Five times, and I have to admit that i have had a long-term obsession with the first Unkle project album, and love all that awesome drum programming by DJ Shadow… so this track’s inspiration […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 9. Hey Love

Track 9, Hey Love will be the second single from the new album “Sunday Morning”. Susannah Legge (ex-The Hampdens) contributes her wonderful vocals to the track. Long term Winterpark collaborator, film-maker Jarrah Gurrie, who had used a number of Winterpark songs in his films… most notably “Wall Kids” in his short film “Centre of the […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 8. Sunday Morning

The title track “Sunday Morning” is an ode to the joys of lying in bed, coffee and breakfasts, walking in the park and love. Who better to share the love than the amazing and wonderful Jessica Racklyeft. Jess has a knack of creating works of wonder and whimsy, that capture essence and emotion in a […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 7. Friday nights forever

Friday nights forever is one of my favorite tracks off the new album… it all came together with a sort of great synchronicity with some strange guitar loops I made for a different project fitting somewhat seamlessly into a rhythmic part i’d created on NI’s Maschine. Melbourne songwriter Ross McLennan made an audio-visual video response […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 6. Teenage kicks

Track 6 off Sunday Morning is a swirling indie-rock shoe-gazer called Teenage kicks. Jessica Rizzi, superstar DJ, photographer and all round nice girl, took a step sideways from her usual arts practice of photography to create a stop motion video work for the exhibition. Jess says of the process: “The title of this track coupled […]

Winterpark Art Exhibition – Track 5. Hiccups

Track 5 off Sunday Morning is a short little ambient soundscape called Hiccups, which features guitar loops, bells and Susannah’s vocals. Kate Stokes created an amazing response to the work called “Filament”. Her installation/light work is made from Bricklayers nylon and wire. Kate says: “This track has a nostalgia that conjured up images of a […]
