The installation was created on site at the Fraser Studios in Chippendale over two weeks. Once created, it was shown as part of the Underbelly Arts Festival to a curious but playful crowd. Now I could attempt to write about the whole process but Scott has done a fine job of it over on his blog from this post onwards. What I can show you though is the results that were documented and put together by Scott too…

AngryPixel were approached by The Finders Keepers to create a video production that was presented last week at Creative Sydney. It was a really fun process making the production with Scott and Lukasz and I’m really happy with the results.

“I’ve been digging this album so much lately that I’d actually forgotten that I’d not posted about it yet.Gentleforce’s Sacred Space is the latest edition in Feral Media’s excellent POWWOW series. It’s also one of my favourite albums of the year, pulling together all sorts of ambient-leaning electronics into a dense, glacial listening experience.”

I have just completed a new mix for my mate Nic! His blog is called “Speared You” and the idea was to make a mix using some of my tracks as well as artists that have inspired me over the years.

I have (with the help of Kodama) created a alternative album cover for “Sacred Spaces”! Although the artwork for my album (on the POWWOW series) had already been pre-designed by the wonderfully talented Sopp Collective I thought id still provide people a chance to download the intended original cover art. I took the photos down in Gunning back in 2008 whilst Lauren and I were looking after her folks farm. Download a pdf of it here. Now print it out, cut and fold!
