2002
OCTOBER
INDIA:
I
returned from India (twice in one year!) on 2 November. I attended the International
Peace of Mind Retreat, and took the Tibetan Bowls to make some beautiful music
for the meditations. Picked up an amazing drone instrument in Mumbai.
NEW ALBUM: I have been blissing
out in the studio working on a new album with all my closest improvising friends.
There are different guests on each track, all playing with themes of Love (I
think romantic love is well and truly covered in the pop world, so the feelings
we're getting into are more the divine and transcendent forms of love). Guests
include Brian Brown, James Morrison, David Hirschfelder, Fiona Burnett, Mark
Domoney, Christine Sullivan, Carmen Warrington, Steve Sedergreen, Mal Sedergreen,
Michael Conolan, Bob Sedergreen and Evri Evripidou. I'll be mixing in a few
months so watch this space in the new year for a release date and launch concerts.
JAPAN: The connection I have with
the Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa is very strong these days. So much so that I
am back to Kanazawa in December 2002 to enjoy the honour of wonderful concerts
and events in one of my favourite parts of the world. It's a rare and special
thing for a drumkit player to play in amongst the dynamics and beauty of a world
class orchestra.
2002 JULY
I am very grateful and to announce that I have been awarded a
two year Fellowship by the Australia Council, in order to focus on study and
future projects. This is a wonderful opportunity and I am very grateful to be
able to ease up on the touring schedule for a while and allow myself the space
to generate new directions. I will still be gigging over this time, but not
quite as regularly, so stay tuned for the Gig Listings as they are updated.
I will be recording a new album late 2002, and launching my band Drum!
2002 January 13 - 28 was my personal retreat time in India ... 2001 was a big year!
