The remix project is still going but due to various other projects and participants schedules, there is no definite track listing for ‘Volume 5′.

Keep watching this space to see the Volume 5 tracks uploaded as they are completed by the people involved. So far there’s some interesting ones due to be completed soon!

Definite tracks from Studio Tann featuring Alphamama, AM Frequencies, Invader,
Jerry Craib, Rob Cornish, Moz Troniques, Death Valley Burial Ground, Death Breath,
The Ghost of John Cage, Spine and Andrew Mortensen with possible tracks from: Suburban Dark, Thomas Kilroy, Ehsan Paksima, Jules Ambrosine, Todd Jacobs,
Matt Roberts, Dyke Destroyer, Anklepants, Comatone & Miss Chloe.

Scott was the main drummer of noise/punk/grindcore band Death Breath..
In 2001 he gained public attention in the Sydney underground music scene as the vocalist/lyricist of the bizarre rock/metal band Chewed Food.
Scott was funny guy, with a cheeky sense of humour and a wild imagination and a warm heart and passion for music.

Scott will be missed by all who knew him.
He was 32 years old.

In light of this sad news, AM Frequencies will pull out the Chewed Food archives and look into completing unfinished material that Scott and Andrew had been working on over the past few years.

Also, Scott’s first classical composition “Classical Trash”, written in 1997, will be orchestrated by Andrew Mortensen in the near future and available here as an exclusive download.

Also related, as part of the Re-Fleshed remix project, a Death Breath rework of the track “Seeds of Red” is currently in progress for Volume 5. It will be their first collaboration in more than 12 years.

If you wish to leave your condolences, please feel free to do so here
If you wish to download one of Chewed Food’s last live performances please email me via: slimeymorts[at]gmail[dot]com
Hear Scott is his all glory on the mic. [Not for the fainthearted]

Little is known about Semen Torn. All that’s know is this noise/glitch based project is a one-man outfit.
It’s dirty, gritty and dark.
A CD-R of material is floating around Sydney and on underground blog sites.

17. SEMEN TORN – ‘Suspicion’
Produced & performed by ‘S.T’
Recorded September 2010 at unknown location.

As it says above, little is known about Semen Torn. All I know is a person by the initials of “S.T” requested to participate, sending me an email from an address of semen_torn.
The email said, (quote)
“hi. i heard about your remix thing. im up for shit. send me files or whateva. S.T”.
I had no idea what to expect, but what I got back is some weird stuff.
It’s dark, gritty, dirty and creepy – a perfect way to end Volume 4. The picture above was sent to me and is apparently art work for the Semen Torn CD-R that’s supposedly floating around.
I have no idea where the element of the original song is, but I think I can hear the bass line from the middle in there.

SERIOUS BEAK
As mentioned in a previous post, the ‘prog-grind’ band I’m in will have shows happening in 2011. There’s also the possibility of recording. Niceness

A Beak that is Serious

LEROY (remixes)
Pop/Funk band LEROY has been pretty much in a coma since the departure of founding member guitarist/composer/producer Pat ‘Chuksing’ Wong. Pat relocated permanently to California last year. Before he left he gave me the Leroy EP session files. Throughout 2010 I have been tinkering with remixing the songs from the EP. So far I’ve done about 5 or 6 remixes, some are of the same song but in a completely different genre to the other remix.
I’m hoping to finish all the remixes in mid 2011.
Also hoping to do some shows again as Leroy is such a high-energy band that is really accessible and gets the dance-floor heating up!

LEROY (L-R: Andrew Mortensen, Ian Pieterse, Deva Permana, Chloe West, Pat 'Chuksing' Wong, Gary Honor & Graeme Petrie)

Leroy EP

AM FREQUENCIES
A number of AM Frequencies albums are planned.
Of course there’s the on-going “Re-Fleshed” volumes (remixes/re-works done by various artists from around the globe). This year we’ll be seeing Volume 4 being available.
I’m planning on doing an ambient recording too.
Also looking into a trip-hop based recording collaborating with Optimus Prime (aka my brother Tim) and also Studio Tann (Tim Hagan aka DJ Jonah).

BUTTERKNIFENINJA
With the ‘upgrade’ of Rupert Goes Studios, and RupertG’s new guitar, it’s quite likely that ButterKnifeNinja will continue working on material.

DYKE DESTROYER
Call it anit-music, free-improv rock, avant-gauze-core or just horrible, horrible noise – Dyke Destroyer is one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve been involved in.  Formed a few years ago, the project has a constant rotating line-up (depending on people’s availability), and has performed a handful of live shows. Only just last week the new album was ‘released’ (post on how to obtain it coming shortly). There’s even talk of an unplugged recording.

DÖD
A black metal project which started out as a ‘joke’, to just have a play with writing metal with an orchestral accompaniment. After writing a number of songs, I was actually quite surprised with how decent they sounded, and even had input from fellow other project members (RupertG [ButterKnifeNinja] and Nick Soole [Slimey Things]).
Tracks have all  been recorded and now I’m in the process of bouncing down the music in preparation for vocals.

DEATH VALLEY BURIAL GROUND
Doom/drone/blues project which I hope to start laying songs down for. Hoping to get musician pals (old and new) to be involved as guests.
2009/2010 saw me get quite into doom and drone music so there’s some of this style floating around in mind.

UNTITLED EXPERIMENTAL DRONE/DOOM/NOISE PROJECT
Mid last year, Dutch guitarist/multi-instrumentalist/producer Tom Sibren van Iersel contacted me about collaborating on something together. We’d both been listening to a lot of drone and Tom suggested we mix it with noise elements (from all noise areas, such as black noise to harsh Japanese noise to 70s noise to ambient noise). Both of us are extremely busy but hopefully we can get something started.

VIOLENCE IN ACTION
Last year I began to be involved in musical-game group Violence In Action, conceived and led by Lachlan Kerr (Godswounds). It was a great idea and really fun to do, but unfortunately I probably will not be able to be involved due to other commitments.
Feel free to check it out as they’re always looking for people interested in being involved.

“It was just one of those moments… Good show, good crowd and just decided to have a go at some unknown guy-from-across-the-other-side-of-the-world’s song and open the second set with it.
Ross’s Beatles quotes were quite an interesting touch.”
