// MODERN MANTRAS - STILL KEEN TO GRAB ‘EM!
I got some wonderful contributions after my last mailout but still keen to get some more!
For those just tuning in, I am composing a new work and to help me with it, I would love for people to contribute any little mantras or affirmations they find particularly useful in these uncertain times. For more details on the project and to contribute, go here.

/// ZONE IN CAMPAIGN
Recently I was asked to write and produce a track for a safety campaign for Traffic Workers Association of Australia, produced by flip media. I brought on board two amazing vocalists, my old buddy Shem Allen (of Skinny Jean fame), and Durriwiyn (who long-term readers might remember from the singles I produced with him a few years back). Durriwiyn ended up taking the lead spot in the video also, with an amazing performance as an impassioned singing traffic worker. All the other traffic workers in the video are real traffic workers, not trained performers, which makes it super fun.
You can check out the whole campaign website (which hosts the music video) here, or jump straight to the video here.

//// DRONE PROMPTS II OUT NOW
In our last edition I mentioned that I was lucky enough to contribute to the second installation of Drone Prompts, a collaborative release from vintage credenza (John Russell) and friends.
You can check it out now and enjoy four very wildly different artistic responses to the rich drones of vintage credenza, and you can even purchase a state-of-the-art 3.5" floppy disk containing the ghost of Drone Prompts II.
Thanks for scrolling all the way down here! If you know of anyone else who would like to get these emails, point them at my website where they can sign up; I only keep email addresses, no other data. Also if these emails ain't your bag, please send me an email asking to unsubscribe and it will be like you were never on the list.
Wishing you all the very best for the summer festive season, hope you can be with your favourite people doing your favourite things together.
