about

A collection of Home Demo recordings (rough guides, never intended for release), written just after I left Hobart in 2002, to spend a year in the mining town of Tom Price, Western Australia.

Documenting the post 9/11 world - capturing the collision of Relationships, Family, War in Afghanistan and Iraq, Refugees, Aboriginal Culture, Ore Miner Suicides, Taxi Driving and Day Drinking.

*** Please Remember > these are rough Home Demos. Not finished or proper Studio produced songs. More like sketchbooks. Often a quick and dirty recording the same day just after writing for future reference. I have uploaded the best WAV files I could locate at this time. If possible I will update these in the future, and you will be notified.

*** Plus > in the near future, I will add a PDF document with Lyrics and Pictures. This will be sent to you when available.

Thank you for your understanding and support // mjc
