"Phase Reflection", a communication piece created for the Melbourne School Of Land and Environment:

"Water: it’s something we come into contact with every single day, yet we don’t for one moment stop to consider just how important it is to our very survival.  We can change its state, manipulate the direction in which it flows and use it in every which way we care to imagine, but how often do we sit and contemplate the beauty and enormity of our most precious resource. With only 2.5% of all the Earth’s water existing as fresh water and only 0.3% of that in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, it is an incredibly scarce commodity. And therein lies one of the greatest challenges of our existence as water is increasingly seen as a commodity rather than one of the most important constituents of the ecosystems that support life on our planet.  Contemplation of the big picture of our environment and how we choose to live within it is vital. Here, we have some space to think about our predicament, the complex network and interconnected systems that we rely upon, and the tactile elements and true beauty of water.”

Elements Two - Home Normal

The rather amazing Elements Two is available for pre-order now. The album is a compilation, one of five, to celebrate Japanese label Home Normal's 5th birthday. With over 60 artists from their past, present and future involved, this five disc compilation is raising money for 5 different charities close to their heart. All profits from Elements Two (水) will be donated to The British Heart Foundation who fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart and circulatory disease. I was very pleased to have a y0t0 track feature on the disc that supports coronary health, given my own cardiac pacemaker...

The other discs support:

The Archway Foundation, a charity that was set up by label founder Ian Hawgood’s father, which aids those who suffer from loneliness through outreach, social events, and befriending.

Habitat Japan, who help to build houses for people who lost their homes in Sendai and Fukushima.

Kalaweit, who save the gibbons of Indonesia and their habitat. In addition to this they also educate the local community about deforestation, as well as the dangers of increased use of palm oil leading to a rapid destruction of their habitat and continuing loss of biodiversity.

ecoACTIVE, an innovative environmental education charity with a reputation for using hands-on, practical and fun approaches to explore complex issues of sustainability.

To further celebrate, the label is holding a birthday party of sorts at Cafe Oto in London on Friday 21st March. Tickets are £5 on the door, £10 advanced:

"Sophrosyne" is a reworking of the Werner Baer piece "Hay For Happy". The song was written as a reaction to being interned in the Hay POW Camp in NSW. The audio was processed through reel to reel recorders, filtered, and mixed with location recordings by Nik Harrison. The spoken word at the end is from the Fine Music 102.5FM/2MBS FM show from 1992, "Werner Baer Remembered" (audio used by permission). Arranged by Charles Sage and mastered by Guiseppe Ielasi.

Over the last 12 months I've been working on an audiovisual project based around WWII immigration, refugee resettlement and analogue processing; as part of the project's development towards an exhibition in 2015, I've started a blog and uploaded some audio excerpts: http://internecined.tumblr.com
