The carriageworks gig - Cobramatic & Jondent - Live Recording

Thursday, 10th Sept, 2015.
The Carriageworks, Sydney.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriag...

Lots of fun and a awesome venue.
Our instruments consisted or two Buchla 200 roadcases (and a smattering of Eurorack).
The gig lasted for over an hour, but I've picked a small sample of under 7 mins to remember the night.

The visuals were all created using a LZX video Synthesizer

The Carriageworks - Opening night - Thursday 10th September

The Carriageworks is the largest and one of the most significant contemporary multi-arts centres of its kind in Australia. So it was a immense honor to play on the opening night. Our team comprises artists from NewSoundWaves... a group of electronic musicians.

Thredbo - NSW - Ski fields

 Thredbo is an alpine village and ski resort in the Snowy Mountains of southeastern Australia.
 







 
The Mount Kosciuszko summit walk leads to the top of Australia’s highest peak. Wildflowers dot the mountains of Kosciuszko National Park in spring and summer. 
 





 
The town has around 4,150 beds, but a permanent population of only about 471 people.[1] When the mountain is fully covered by snow, Thredbo has the longest ski runs in Australia, and this attracts around 700,000 winter visitors annually
 








 Thredbo resort was developed by a syndicate of people who were at the time working on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme
