I
am quietly pleased to announce the release of my new TARB cd:
HOUSEKEEPING.
HOUSEKEEPING was originally conceived as a project to finally put to use
some of this amassed junk, and then to discard it all once again. It
first took shape as an installation work for 8-channel audio, found
objects, speakers, transducers, desk, chair and room; presented at
Blindside, Melbourne, August 2017.
Since then it has slowly shifted itself into this CD. However rather than a documentation of an installation, this iteration has been arranged from the debris collected during the process of making one. Sound was gathered together from various raw audio materials; object manipulation; rehearsals, studio tests and failures; recordings of both installation and de-installation; the final composition files ; recordings of the installation in-situ; the empty gallery space; the Nicholas Building (the home of Blindside); a performance made with Clinton Green enacted to close the installation. All collected materials were then cut up, tumbled around and de-arranged into the current form it finds itself in here.

This is the first release in a new self releasing venture, which depending on how this one works out...may lead to a slow but hopefully stead trickle of works from me ... and who knows what else ... ?? It is a terrible time of year to visit the post office ... so I have posted it as a pre-order for now ... but if you would like a copy I should be able to start sending them out very soon!
Available via https://sonicrubbish.bandcamp.com/releases ... or if you prefer to bypass BC altogether ... shamefile will hopefully soon have some copies in stock (alongside other TARAB works) or send me a message tarab AT sonicrubbish DOT com.
