  • Thinking Music Volume 3

    Thinking Music. I've always been frustrated with the 'study music' out there. It's either too busy/distracting or it's very obviously cheesy 'spa' or 'meditation' music.  


    So in 2015 I created my own. There are 4 tracks:  

    Volume 1: 18min of Piano - delicate movements and warm, satisfying chord progressions with repeating motifs that hold the brain's attention, with only gentle dynamic builds and a minimum of rhythm or overwhelming fortes.   

    Volume 2: 7min of Soft Pad - gooey and warm structures that rely on chord inversions to convey a liquified sense of movement.  

    Volume 3: 8min of Piano - rhythmic broken chords and colourful upper intervals to stimulate creativity in the brain through harmonic blends.  

    Volume 4: 9min of Soft Pad with smatterings of Piano,  - descending regal voicings and glassy pads that emanate rest and a sense of hope.

  • Making a new Australian state: REXIT with Tim Quilty MP

    Tim Quilty MP is the Member for Northern Victoria in the Legislative Council. He joined me for a live watch party of Acting Premier Dan Merlino’s lockdown 4.0 announcement for Melbourne.

    Throughout this interview Tim advocated for the creation of a new state in the Federation of Australia – ‘Murray’ which is to be comprised of regional VIC and regional NSW. The plan is being called ‘Rexit’ for ‘Regional Exit’ and arose after regional populations felt that state governments are increasingly urban-centric which causes a collapse of regional centres.

  • Dissecting Victoria's Budget

    We looked at Victoria's Budget and tried to see behind the numbers. Why was it prepared this way? What effect will it have on the community?  

    We went deep and into the philosophical underpinnings of safety, opportunity and the unknown when it comes to governing a population. 

    I had a revelation about feeling 'untethered' by what Ryan was telling me. To be honest it was a little scary and I'm still processing the idea. I suspect a lot of my generation has become accustomed to living in a 'zoo' of safety (but not freedom).  

    Joined by my local Member of Parliament Ryan Smith.
