Hi-Ho art lovers,
Here it is, the lineup for Outpost #12 on at 8:30p.m. Wednesday the 29th of August at Horse Bazaar.

We are very excited to have a feature slot from from the wonderful Qua (a.k.a Cornel Wilczek), who started performing live in 2001 after an invite to perform with Pretty Boy Crossover.
Qua’s music is an unrepentantly gorgeous and nostalgic mix of sunlit electronics and guitars, buoyed by complex arrangements. Referentially, Cornel cites his influences as bringing to mind the playfulness of Mouse on Mars, the sophistication of Ennio Morricone and the warm lush pops of Architecture in Helsinki. Check out Qua’s lovely site to read more and treat your ears.

Selector, double bassist, V8 Holden Premier driver and all round good guy DJ Tomtom (a.k.a Thomas W. Butt) is also featuring this month. Experimenting with decks and and effects over beats fresh from the House Of Butt, Outpost #12 will no doubt provide Tomtom with an opportunity push the envelope beyond the dirty dance-floor antics he does so well into the realm of the bizarre.

As always, new players/projectors are most welcome so tell your friends and..
Bring your gear and have no fear!

As part of the 2007 Melbourne International Arts Festival, we will be hosting a week of OUTPOST events at the ArtsHouse Meat Market in North Melbourne. Each night after the featured festival act on the main stage, OUTPOST will be jamming away at Becks Bar until close. This will be a great event for everyone that has contributed to OUTPOST to be a part of. However, if you want to come down and jam you will have to let as know as we need to organize the events so that we spread the fun around over a week of events. We also are hoping to make each night responsive to the vibe of the main act, so we’d also like to put those of you who want to join in on this special event into the best possible situation for your contribution. So, to join in on this event please e-mail me and I’ll make sure you get a spot for this unreal event!

OUTPOST @ M.I.F.A.
18 - 26 October, 2007

1st Jam from Outpost #11, 25 July 2007. 28 megs large.Outpost #11 Jam 1

While we did record the whole night, on later listening I found that having my microtrack and my mBox2Pro plugged into the same lappy cases a foul sounding earth loop on the microtrack. Screwed by digidesign yet again! So this is the least crappy sounding of the jams - buzz wise. Apologies for not being able to post the others.

Yes yes y’all,
with some last minute feature act lineup changes due to technical failure, we were thoroughly chuffed to have Michael Prior step in at the eleventh hour and give us a totally inspiring set for Outpost #11. Using only a Juno 106, Kaos pad and various C-90 audio cassettes, Mike cranked it up for the great crowd braving the Melbourne winter hungry to get their art on.

Big up to video crew Projector Obscura who bumrushed the show with spare projector in hand. We hope to see them at future events.

Although we were one feature artist down, we had an abundance of jammers for #11 who collectively performed some fantastic spontaneous work. We captured all the audio from the jams and will be posting it up shortly.

Till the next event… and you don’t stop.
