Thor & Friends: MIXTAPE N° 449
Polymath percussionist Thor Harris inaugurated “Thor & Friends” in the autumn of 2015 after five years of touring as the percussionist of iconic avant-rock ensemble Swans. The project is intended as a vehicle for experimentation with the conceptual vocabulary of American Minimalism collaborating with a rotating cast of Austin-based musicians.
The
ensemble has three core members, Thor, Peggy Ghorbani and Sarah “Goat”
Gautier — with its line-up expanding and contracting with the flux of
compositional and improvisational contexts. The range of tonal color
depends on what instrumentalists are present or absent from the process
at any given time. They can perform purely acoustic or shaded with hues
of electronic instrumentation, as a stripped-down trio or a large
ensemble.

Thanks to Thor & Friends and Howard

B-Town Warriors - People of the Red Sunset
This production was written, recorded and filmed over 5 days in April
2016 in the remote community of Bourke in far Western NSW. An out come
of a Desert Pea Media community project with a group of young Indigenous
people enrolled at Bourke High School.
The project came about through a partnership between Desert Pea Media, Bourke High School and Outback Division of General Practice.
Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encouraged participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for individuals, for each other and for our communities.
This information was then disseminated into a narrative structure by local young people and Desert Pea Media staff - Toby Finlayson and Michael Graham (aka MC Boomalli), then the lyrics were co-written and recorded. We then shot a music video over two days all over Bourke and surrounding areas.
This project featured the expert musical direction and production of acclaimed musician and and songwriter Carlo Santone (Blue King Brown, Nattali Rize) who has since worked with us on a number of projects. Also featuring session Yidaki from Indigenous musician Fred Leone.
Further mentoring support came from previous DPM project participant Michael Graham (MC Boomalli), Kamileroi man who is now one of the head project facilitators for DPM.
The song is a celebration of survival, resilience, culture and pride and is one of our proudest achievements of 2016.
Special thanks to DPM resident psychologist Don Finlayson for his input and project support and to Bourke High School and NSW Outback Division of General Practice who co-funded the production.

Cultural Seeds: Essays on the Work of Nick Cave
Nick Cave is now widely recognized as a songwriter, musician, novelist,
screenwriter, curator, critic, actor and performer. From the band, The
Boys Next Door (1976-1980), to the spoken-word recording, The Secret
Life of the Love Song (1998), to the recently acclaimed screenplay of
The Proposition (2005) and the Grinderman project (2008), Cave's career
spans thirty years and has produced a comprehensive (and sometimes
controversial) body of work that has shaped contemporary alternative
culture. Despite intense media interest in Cave, there have been
remarkably few comprehensive appraisals of his work, its significance
and its impact on understandings of popular culture. In addressing this
absence, the present volume is both timely and necessary. Cultural
Seeds brings together an international range of scholars and
practitioners, each of whom is uniquely placed to comment on an aspect
of Cave's career. The essays collected here not only generate new ways
of seeing and understanding Cave's contributions to contemporary
culture, but set up a dialogue between fields all-too-often separated in
the academy and in the media. Topics include Cave and the Presley myth;
the aberrant masculinity projected by The Birthday Party; the
postcolonial Australian-ness of his humour; his interventions in film
and his erotics of the sacred. These essays offer compelling insights
and provocative arguments about the fluidity of contemporary artistic
practice.
