"A shame-faced open letter" (Oct 13, 2009)

Eyes and ears are open wide, some things don't go in.
Trying to catch up with sleep. Disappointment at what I see around me.
Grounded, making noise, things coming to an end and a very important beginning about to start.
There is something important to be said.


An open …

Are you sleeping....brother John?

Some things are sent to test us, hold your fire.
Integrity is the key, sun comes up, rain falls down.
The sounds I make, people come to hear, eternally grateful.
There is something important to be said.


An open letter.
As an artist and as a human being in general, one of the …

The ground running (June 16, 2009)

Seeing many places, faces, hearing many voices, noises.
Hitting the ground running and trying to catch up.
Wondering where the politeness, basic respect and common sense has gone.
Trying to be patient with those who are trying and those that try me.
New beginnings, a …

On the road (April 26, 2009)

Eyes and ears open. Looking and listening. Deadlines getting closer. No complaints other than wishing for more hours in the day. Re-learning all about collaboration. This is mainly down to listening and then deliberating, this can take a split second or glorious minutes …

Fallout - March 15, 2009

After a long project, the end brings a change in focus. Trying to fill the newly formed space. In the back of my mind I know it's still there, but I won't fall in. This happens to others too and it's happened to me before. It's okay. Empty space should be seen as a …

Time-based Poetic Faith

There seems to be different speeds of time, moving concurrently. Things seem to happen at different periods and yet simultaneously.
Ryk: "Goodness! Is that the time?"
Mike: "Time is an abstract concept, that's a wristwatch"
There is something Important to be said...

So …

Refresh

Here's hoping this new year is an improvement over the last.
As good as some parts were, other parts were supremely bad, not just for me, but for some near and dear and some folks I don't even know.
Unfortunate things, some things a crying shame. However, this a new time.

Life's what happens...

...when you're busy making other plans.
Faces and places from another time.
I am not pretending to be someone else, I am a different person.
But every so often I see a faint thread from where I came.
I am not afraid, but I seem to view it from a distance
and the voices …

Pay attention

Through the Portal - October 17, 2008

Retracing my steps of the last few years,
Hearing voices scattered amongst the coloured noise,
Green is particularly potent,
So is the sound of the rivulet.
Time to make decisions, time for full stops and to tell my truth.
There is something important to be said...















The group …

Voices From...Sept 11, 2008

A vow of silence, I will not speak of it. I wrote a bunch of other stuff, but threw it away as it sounded like a bunch of bad teenage angst poetry. I've been there before, troubled, who need to hear it? If some angst falls in the woods...etc. I sometimes think my …

Scelsi's signature.

Today (in the Southern Hemisphere) 08/08/08 marks the 20th anniversay of the death of Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi. I'm reasonably new to his work, but upon hearing it and learning about him, I was instantly attracted to his sound world, his …

Suspension of Disbelief

Actions of the present make it difficult to remember the past fondly and vice versa.
All actions have a consequence. But I hope it's going well for you.
Steam is rising from my mouth when I wake up in the morning. There's some snow on the mountain in more ways than one.

Exploitative headline

"Nude girl magazine gets M classification"

That's some class right there...
I guess we should be pleased that this issue of Art Monthly Australia will be available rather than restricted. But I do find it rather interesting that it has an M rating and I quote the article;

Angels and stuff (May 25, 2007)

Losing you, but you've gained peace from a hard fight. Since that day, a day hasn't gone by when I haven't thought about you.
I've been missing you for a long time, but now it feels final. Hope you are smiling. Hope it is good. There's something important to be said.

It's …

Farewell (April 21, 2007)

Stuart passed away last night.
Goodbye my friend, you will be missed.
Please rest now.
