The second episode of my mini-program ‘The Rebel Spirit’ is being broadcast on Australia’s ABC Radio National at 9.00pm Friday 2nd July (Aussie) time, 7.00am EST USA. It features an interview with the amazing American computer music pioneer Laurie Speigel, whose achievements include a record sent into space by NASA to explain life on earth to aliens. This series is part of RN’s wonderful program on spiritually inspired music, The Rhythm Divine.

The first of a three part segment I have developed called The Rebel Spirit is going to air on Australia’s national broadcaster, Radio National, at 9.00 pm Friday June 4 Aussie time – thats 7.00 am Eastern Yankee time. After that, it will be airing the first Friday in July and August.

Its part of a long-standing RN program called The Rhythm Divine.

I’m doing an interview with groovy LA based internet radio Luxuria tonight Friday 9 April at 9.00 pm Pacific time.

I’m currently back in Australia for a while. ABC Radio National, Australia’s national public broadcaster has a long standing show on spiritual and religious matters called Encounter. This Sunday (7 February, 7.10 am Australian eastern time, repeated Wednesday 7.00pm), Encounter is doing a special on contemporary spiritual music called ‘Planet of Praise’. It includes an interview with me where I talk about the inspirations behind the ‘electronic hymns’ on The Jilted Bride’s CD ‘Larceny of Love’. More info here

I just added three more clips to the video page:

1. 2001 – Myself and Kate introducing the first B(if)tek WINK (Wired Innovative Naughty Kids) awards night, May 2001 in Melbourne. The WINKs were developed, funded and promoted by us each year from 2001-2003. These were awards for innovation and subversion in the electronic arts and new media. Money and prizes were given to activists and artists whose work and actions highlighted important social and political issues. We also gave recognition to artists from around the world who were taking risks and innovating in electronically mediated art forms. Clip courtesy of the Australian Center for the Moving Image.

2. 2000 – ‘Machines Work’ was a track off our Sony album ‘2020′ which received a great deal of airplay. This is a super-cute animated clip depicting myself and Kate in our retro spacecraft recording studio; clip created by the multi-talented Scott Anderson.

3. 1998 – B(if)tek released an EP for Festival records (then one of Australia’s most successful local record labels until it was taken over by Warners in 2005). The EP featured the track ‘Bedrock’ plus a couple other tracks including a remix by Paul Mac. I’ve uploaded the first B(if)tek clip put together by my old friend and visionary Sally Harbison, which uses found footage and images of myself and Kate looking incredibly young and goofy

Also, for 2004-07 I re-uploaded the wonderful clip for Dust’s ‘The Message’ recently put together by Tanya Andrea Stadelmann – for some reason the clip didn’t appear the first time I put it up a few weeks ago.
