Another One on youtube

Databent images by me.

I would like to talk about the way making these helps you connect to Art and Drawing.

To many distractions

This is either the worst diary or just unfocussed. What ever the case I will not stop just yet as I continue to make work and wrestle with a life of distraction. Recently I have done some experimenting with cross prossing colour film in black and white developer. I figured that I would probably never get around to developing them properly or use the out of date chems lying around my studio. So like many people I have that box of mystery negs that keeps growing. I grabbed a random role film and cracked it open and prepared for developing, not knowing what I was potentially destroying. It always makes me so nervous when I have my hands inside the dark bag fondling around with scissors and those anoying film holders. I sweat, nose itch and generally feel anxious. Another issue arised once the film was all loaded. I started mixing up all the chemicals and did a little research into temperatures. I grabbed out the thermometer and remembered that it is broken. Somehow the mercury inside had seperated making it imposible to get an accurate reading. I figured that wasn't a huge deal sinde it was already well over 40 degree celcius in the studio so I made guess that it probably about 7 degrees out. I got a bucket of icewater and set temperature as good as I could. Anyway the end result is that it worked! And the role of film was from a trip made to the Daintree about 2 years prior, with images of jungles, palms, beaches etc. I am not sure how this relates to my greater Art practice and I dont really care to much. The excitement of making and discovering makes it seem as valid as anything I have done.

Rear View Revue

Here is an image from my recent Exhibition, Rear View Revue. I will be uploading the sounds from the show shortly. Oh and I have some CD's for sale as well, they have been professionally pressed and look awesome so just leave a messeage if your interested or email me and I can arange to get you a copy.

UPLOADING TRACKS HERE AND THERE

I am in the proccess of uploading some tracks to my youtube channel and soundcloud page. They are some older tracks that have been in my playlist and pop up from time to time. I hope you enjoy checking them out.

An Update on Life

Ok, I know its been a long time since I last put anything here. Sorry about that who ever you are. Since my show at the Incinerator Gallery earlier this year I have been working, more than I'd like to be, and indulging various hobbies and of course making what I think is Art. I could also blame TUMBLR for the lack of activity, but really I only use that when I'm at work, and it is more of a bookmarking tool. Although I'm sure it is a fantastic resource for someone with similar interests. Feel free to check it out here (http://mwallus.tumblr.com/).
I have been searching for the what next in my life in terms of Job, Art, Study, and even location. With such heavy thoughts I have managed to do a Performance at RMIT. It had been nearly a year since I last publicly performed a soundscape set. I'm not convinced that it was the best performance, although people who saw it seem to have enjoyed it.

What Rolls Down Stairs?

I have recently let a friend use one of my older tracks for a video. Its a short promotional film for League Of Gentlemen. They have been doing some illustration work around. I was very happy to have the experience. Check it out here
