Initially inspired by a glitchy speaker system at the cinema where I saw Wanted, the latest Downfall track is a rhythmic visit to a cybernetics facility.

Hope you enjoy Blueprint.

It has arrived. It is beautiful. I have nothing more to say.

Snog at the Gaelic Club last night, with Inflatable Voodoo Dolls and Bleepin’ J Squawkins supporting.

Good night, good to see Snog live again.

A taste-test of the new Downfall album I’m working on: Imminence is more ambient noise, with some electric piano thrown into the mix - somewhat inspired by playing AudioSurf to Music for Airports.

She has an old Yamaha ‘PortaSound’ keyboard so I plugged it in and I liked what came out. Who knew I could play piano? Certainly came as a shock to me.

I’ve finally gotten around to creating an album’s worth of tracks for the dark ambient noise project I’ve been working on, given it a name, and put it online. I’d love it if you’d take a listen and let me know what you think. The entire album is available for download via AmieStreet

I’ve also made a Facebook musician page if you’re that way inclined.

A dedicated page will eventually pop up at downfall.brokengod.net when I have the time. Right now it’s just a logo/placeholder.

A second album is already in the pipeline - how motivated I am to continue with it and the direction I take it in probably hinges a lot on the feedback I get from this album - so please, be honest with your comments. :)

Anyone who misses TISM might be interested to hear that Humphrey B. Flaubert is fronting a new band with Jock Cheese and Eugene de la Hot Croix Bun, called “Root!”

Think TISM, but with a … country music slant. They seem to be gigging around Melbourne exclusively right now, but have an album out next month [entitled "Root Supposed He Was Out of the Question"], and will hopefully start touring around Sydney some day. In the meantime, you can hear a couple songs at their MySpace page.

More ambience: Earthquake Weather. And no, I didn’t just stick a microphone out the window while it was raining. The only samples in this are that of some stones falling down a cliff at the beginning of a landslide, and some drum samples - all heavily effected, of course. Everything else is synthetic.

It’s still noise, but if you prefer something with a bit of rhythm, Rift might be your thing.

Puzzle Box is another ambient track, moving more toward the ‘creepy’ end of the spectrum.

Another sonic meandering: #ac0205.
