I first crossed paths with Jeremy when he was working in a local record store (which now of course doesn't exist)... Jeremy would always order in cool vinyl records and overseas imports such as Three Imaginary Boys by The Cure and Blue Sunshine by The Glove (which I bought during Year 11 High School) and he was always really supportive of local bands and we ended up working together on Seesawtrace recordings (other band). Most recently Jeremy has lent his ear and contributed his engineering skills on the Stormset - Just Like Fashion E.p. A journey which began at his bushland studio (Berringa, Vic) and was then completed with mix-downs across the digital vortex between the new Left Of Elephant Sound studio (Darwin NT) and home.

I started by being exposed to great music early on, and great quality hi fi units, speakers, amps etc...so early on I had an understanding of what good music sounds like on a good system. I was lucky enough to work in record stores since I left school, got a head full of all kinds of music and genres, played in bands, The Violets, Cooperblack, and I became fascinated with the workings of a studio. I bought a simple set up, Tascam Porta 1 then the 244, did several courses in live mixing and music technology. I guess I just morphed into being a sound engineer, primarily by being a musician first.
Analechi a new electro outfit with Lauren Day, very fun indeed, dirty electro stuff, producing some albums in the NT, Alice Springs and Darwin, meeting great musicians from all over Australia, very lucky.

I started singing from a young age purely for my own entertainment at around the age of 10 but got really interested in singing for others when I was 22 and met Simon and Chris through friends. I thought their music was really interesting and they inspired me to give it a go.
The process of recording was really relaxing and fun. I was pregnant at the time and loved that my baby could hear the music we were making, and it gave me a happy feeling every time we rehearsed or were recording.
My favourite vocalists and musical influences are many and varied. I love so many types of music but I would have to say Katie Noonan (the lead singer from the band George), Dido, Sia, Sarah Blasko, Tracey Chapman, Nelly Furtado, Missy Higgins, Everything But The Girl and Lamb. These are all some of my favourite vocalists and influences.
My inspiration is the wonder of nature, beautiful music, firends, and food. But at the moment my biggest inspiration is my little boy, Mitchel, and how he interacts with the world and learns everyday.
I first started writing poetry at age 14, got published at 14 in a Goth Magazine.
I am inspired by people and how we interact and our perceptions of one another. I love psychology and anything to do with human communication.
In the past I have written and made a short film called 'Made My Bed and in 2000 I did stand up performance poetry at Sunset Strip in Melbourne. Before that I was production designer in a feature film called 'Radio Samurai'... I'm not sure if it was ever released?
The bands - The Cure, The Smiths, Cosmic Baby are favourites of mine. All time favourite bands are British India and All American Rejects. I also used to be a huge Ween fan as well.
