voiceROM So I've been pretty slack updating this website with all the latest voiceROM releases. I'm not going to embed all the Bandcamp stuff here because it will bog down the page too much, so here are the covers. clicking a cover will take you to the relevant Bandcamp page where you can stream or download the music, either for no money or for some money - whichever you'd prefer.
Little Two Eyes Emily Smart and her new band Little Two Eyes spent a bunch of time in Kilophone with me, recording their very new All The Things I Never Told You And Why EP. It was mixed by KRAMER in the USA, who proved himself to be quite the dude. Friendly and hard-working, and he also once signed Boredoms to his record label, which is a cooler thing than most have ever done.
voiceROM All secrets are revealed in this releaving documentary / music video. It contains heaps of our released music plus some stuff not on any "albums". It took me freaking ages to make this because my laptop gets incredibly hot when dealing with video, so I'd like everyone to watch it all the time if possible please.
voiceROM The opening scene of 'Five Deadly Venoms' with alternative music. The mix is better on the proper "album" release.
1.1 Immermann I can't believe I haven't posted this here before now. This is 1.1 Immermann playing a track off our first eponymous album in stop motion.
The Magic Flute Here is some video of a very cool production of the Magic Flute with which I was involved. It was a 29-piece band: piano (Richard Chew), bass (Lyndon Gray), drums (me) and vocals x 26 (the Tutti Ensemble).
voiceROM More VoiceROM!.
voiceROM Drums, MPC and EWI, mostly. New 11 minute album from Dylan Marshall, Jon Hunt and me.
1.1 Immermann A new Immermann EP! Recorded mostly live to "tape" in Studio Concrète not too long ago. It featuers us playing other people's music. And I made a bit of a film clip for one of the tracks. 1. Chromakey Dreamcoat / Bocuma (Boards of Canada)
Emily Smart Another great song by Emily which we recorded in Studio Concrète last year. I play drums and also went ZING with a plectrum across the grand piano strings while Hamish held down chords. Can be downloaded here or listened to while you view this Ryan Polei and Tim Lucas-made clip: There are also a bunch of clips from the launch up here on Emily's youtube profile. Be checking them.
Zeal So this has been out for a little while now but my website updates are few and far etc. I think this is a truly excellent album and I'm pretty pleased that I had a small part in making it. Zeal is Robert Jarvis, an Adelaide human who is now a Melbourne human. He makes good music and does lots of interesting stuff, like making musical instruments out of toys and visa versa. Here's what I did on the album, according to the bandcamp site: Additional mixing on track 4, drums and percussion on track 7, drums, clapping, jeans, bass drum, programming and additional mixing on track 8. Check out all the cool stuff that Robert does:
Singing, nylon/electric guitar, electric/upright bass, piano, pedal organ, harmonium, melodica, sampling, sequencing, stomping, clapping, drumming, humming, self-oscillating delay pedal, alarm clock, banjo, ukulele, playstation 2, glockenspiel, toy piano, casio. Simply direct your browser to the Zeal Bandcamp site to download the whole thing for free or purchase a CD with very nice looking hand-made packaging.
Collaborator: Leo Auri Mein dickie old chum Leo and I did a bunch of concerts around Berlin in 2009. He sneakily recorded our final show, at Salon Petra, which was the best of the lot I think. Features Leo on vocals, piano and a box of dingsbums, and me on drums and a nice resonant pot.

Earlier this year I hit the studio for a few weeks with Southie (a.k.a. T-Slice to the hip-hop crew). We had a blast, learning bits and scraps of foreign languages, discussing our mutual man-crush on Christopher Hitchens, constructing toy birds out of percussion instruments, clamps and blu-tack and recording a bit of music. Tim came in with a swag-ful of catchy un-cliched songs and an open mind, and we had a great time combing through the songs (with a metaphorical comb NOT AN ACTUAL COMB) making sure every cubic centimetre was interesting and pleasing to the listener. I started out as co-producer but 'Chief Reverb Applier' would be a better description of what took place. I think I played some percussion here and there too. Chris Weber has a couple of guest spots on trumpet, Flik Freeman makes some bass-like noises and a couple of tracks feature a choir that may or may not have known that they were in a choir at the time. Southie on Triple J's Unearthed (wherein you can rate and/or review it which encourages Triple J airtime which in tern makes life better for everyone) And there's a clip for this song!
Ronnie Taheny
One of the biggest projects I've been involved in to date is this magnificent double-album by Ronnie Taheny. I was engineer and co-producer, plus drummer, backing vocaller and shakuhachist. Disc one - Renaissance - is a fairly chilled-out acoustic classical/pop affair, mostly with the Outhouse Orchestra (Marie De Lint on Flute and Amanda Goodfellow on Cello). For lovers of well-written text and lush harmonies. Disc two - Point - is a bolder and more diverse story. I'm particularly proud of the first two tracks. Pop gold! both of them. They are Ronnie's idea of a 'simple and catchy' song, which, while undeniably catchy, still contains lyrics like "keep in mind your solitude's fine, but it's better spent with us" and "Well, you're eating lead now. Gonna go for Goya's cred now." (compare with "stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna talk anymore"). This disc also has some out-and-out poetry and sound-scapes and about one million instruments and things. It' s an explosion of colour and thoughts. And more lush harmonies. Ronnie's website (with heaps of stuff including a few free downloadable mp3s)
Three great tracks from Emily. As a co-producer, it's my job to make suggestions like 'how about I play banjo on this one!' or 'why don't I put down some banjo on this other one!'. I think the results speak for themselves. Triple J's Unearthed (you know the deal)
Dylan Marshall and I have been doing a metally duo thing for a little while. Occasionally we set up some mics and a camera in the studio and record something like these. From the video description:
Ironically, our live shows are all to click-tracks and with loops and things, while these video-songs are all just what you see and without click or anything. All mistakes are left in for your enjoyment. More Knife and Tube coming soon!
Meteorite Moose and Squirrel is what happens every time Chris, Jamie and I get together and play without specific instructions or stylistic guidance. The music is usually fairly intense, loud and fun. For this gig we had artist Steve O'connor arting on stage with us. The songs are named after what he drew. Lovingly engineered and bootlegged by Marty Jones, one of the best and most averagely-heighted sound guys in Adelaide.
My band's first album! You should totally buy it I reckon. Below are a few free, full length, high quality tracks from the album.
A particularly punchy track. For those of you playing along at home: the opening riff is in 4/4, 15/16 (for the first four bars only).
ATTENTION HIPHOP PRODUCERS: use this track to make some beats. And send me a link so I can hear it. It would please me greatly. No law-suits would be filed. This is a bit of an impromptu jam following an Immermann rehearsal.
The music here is the midsection from the song Minotaur, but the visuals are being manipulated in real-time by Zeal, otherwise known as Robert Jarvis. Check out his latest clip while you're at it - it's for Agnes Kain's song Gideon.
Satan's Cheerleaders. The first real big proper thing I've recorded. I think it's pretty damn good. Much, much more information and a few free tracks at www.scheerleaders.com

Something I wrote to accompany my sister as she walked down the aisle.
Set 1 Set 2
We had a lot of fun playing John Zorn's Cobra game piece. It was the first time I'd ever played with Adam or Hilary, and also my first time playing the banjo in front of a crowd. I think the whole thing sounds pretty sweat. I mean sweet. Expertly recorded by Marty Jones, Adelaide's most versatile and least-likely-to-whine-about-difficult-bands-to-engineer-for sound-engineer.
It was directed by Aimee Knight and produced by local human Sam Cherry.
This was one of the first Satan's Cheerleaders shows, professionally recorded so we could use it as a demo to get more shows. A lot has changed since 2006 but I still think this sounds pretty good. If you like this somewhat you will freaking love the album - grab it from one of these links: Simon Ridley - guitar, vocals, theremin
