It was great to have folks standing defiant against the chilly Melbourne winter and coming down to check out and perform at last night’s OUTPOST. First up, has to be said that Scotty Baker (aka abre ojos) performed a fantastic solo set on his suitcase modular synth and video, complete with vocal input! Great to see a few new faces down for the jams as well as the dedicated regulars. Big up to OUTPOST video queen Lucy Benson who came through with sourcing a video mixer in the 11th hour.

OUTPOST will be performing at La Trobe University (Bundoora) Art Museum as part of the Darebin Music Feast as part of the Vera Möller: Neomorphics exhibition. We are performing at around 7pm on the 17th,18th and 19th of September. Stay tuned for further details as they come to light.

After coming down to the jam with his suitcase modular synth last month, we had to ask abre ojos to be our feature artist for July OUTPOST. abre ojos is Scott Baker who after apprenticing under Alan Lamb and learning the power of the drone creates improvisations of dense tangible noise from an analogue modular synthesiser with live visuals inspired by zombies films, conspiracy theories and hidden truths. abre ojos is a Portuguese sailing term when moving through dangerous waters meaning “watch out” or “open your eyes”. Scott will be performing both sound and video so come and check it out.
