Harmonic Whirlies Debut – The Angels are Coming

The Angels are Coming rehearsal

Who knew you could make such beautiful sounds from plastic pipes? Turns out all you need are some specially designed flexible PVC pipes and you've got harmonic whirlies!

About a year ago, I went to a drumming camp with my dad and we started talking to one of the guys (his name was Wayne) there about my idea for a show that involves visual effects. Being inspired by a flexible PVC tube I brought back from the tip shop one day, I told him that I was interested in figuring out how to make tuned,

First Composition Sold!

Mansfield State High School Performs Junglemania

I've sold my first composition!!!!

I recently added a new section to the website to sell my compositions and, with the help of my dad Gal Baras (check out his website), I'm really happy with the end product and it's working too!

Not too soon after I finished adding everything I got a message from one of my friend's private students who was looking for a piece to play at his school's percussion soiree. I was really glad that he was interested

Check it out! My coming body percussion project 'Up the Body and Down the Page' is almost finished and here's a snippet of the final video!

SoundStruck Percussion and New Composition: Junglemania!

SoundStruck Percussion a Crossbows

After a few months of careful planning, some rehearsals and a few performances, I am proud to present ... (drum roll) ... SoundStruck Percussion. Earlier this year, a few of my percussionist friends from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and I had an idea to form a percussion ensemble. Thanks to our university, our families and some friendly contacts,  we got a few of our first gigs, from which we got some great recordings and some great videos.

Being in this group also gave me a chance

Singing Goodbye to our music teachers

At the end of every school year, MacGregor State High School puts on a showcase of all the school’s instrumental and vocal ensembles. It’s a brilliant event that shows off beautifully what all of us can do. ‘Music at Mac’ (as it is so wonderfully named) this year was a really great thing to be a part of. As I was a student who participated in all but the junior bands and the string program, I was busy the whole night performing as well as organising this year’s seniors to put on a show for the

New Original Song: Adventure

It was a great night, filled with performances from all the school choirs, as well as small ensembles and solo performances.

The new song is called "Adventure" and it's about (as the title suggests) having an adventure, leaving all the
