Pushing Nancarrow’s Wheelbarrow by John Parker

Tsoof playing marimba

Just finished my third year first semester recital and I can say that this semester has been really tough!

I've had some amazing opportunities preparing some really benchmark pieces:

Blade by Benjamin Finley and Nagoya Marimbas by Steve Reich. Videos going up in the next days...

Among the pieces I prepared was a recent composition by Brisbane composer, drummer and percussionist John Parker.

John's compositions have been a real inspiration for me over the years, especially since most

Spankinhide at Earth Frequency

Earth Freequency Festival Poster

Just came back from a weekend at the Earth Frequency Festival!

I drove down on Friday and Saturday for a couple of performances with Spankinhide and had a great time.

It was an amazing festival with three big stages pumping out electronic music and getting the audience buzzing. Spankinhide performed on the Friday night to a great crowd that danced and sang with us and had a great time. There was excellent food, great camping facilities, an experience of wilderness and a continuous 'doof'

Paint Drumming Gig Requests!

A few days ago I got a message from a friend of mine Craig Rippon, who helped me out a whole lot with the Volcano Rising Project, and he mentioned that he'd received a few requests for paint drumming through his 'Drumming Aloud' page and that they'd been forwarded on to me!!

So, as of Monday, SoundStruck Percussion has been invited as part of a proposal to perform at a corporate event in Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast. We've also received a request  to perform a new paint drumming routine

Paint Drumming Project 2013!

Last year, at the beginning of 2012, I wrote a paint drumming piece for 12 percussionists. The composition was intended to be a collaboration between high schools around Queensland as part of Creative Generation - State Schools Onstage.

The idea was sparked mainly due to a past performance of mine at high school which you can see and read about Read More

Claptacular at Craptacular

This is one of my compositions from 2012, written for an event at the Queensland Conservatorium called 'Craptacular'.

It’s a performance put on by the percussion majors at the conservatorium to comment on the music we play, learn about and are encouraged to embrace, and a chance for us to compose and arrange some of our own or other popular culture works.

We all dressed up in interesting costumes to look as 'individual' as possible and had a laugh with the audience.

'Claptacular' (pun

Relay for Life Concert – Steer by Missy Higgins

So Tsoof and Sarah are back again, and this time we've got some new stuff to share.

Towards the end of last year, on Saturday the 3rd of November, we were invited to perform an hour set at an event called 'Relay for Life' which is organised by the cancer council in Queensland. Relay For Life is an overnight event that is an opportunity for friends and family to get together with the community and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against a disease

Mayfest Performance: Shake A Tail Feather

Guess who's back? Back again? Tsoof is back! Tell a friend WOOAAAHH!

So, the next song in the Mayfest set is a bit of an 'oldie'. Sarah and I picked it to get the audience dancing and liven the mood a bit. It did just that and even got the compere's for the day dancing.

This is a video of Sarah and me singing 'Shake A Tail Feather' originally by The Five Du-Tones, though most famously covered by Ray Charles and The Blues Brothers.

See if you know all the moves ;)

There will be more
