The Big Note

Last Wednesday on The Big Note I played a prerecorded interview with two lovely chaps from India, Murthovic & Avinash, who are performing/presenting "Elsewhere In India"** on the 28th of this month, from 4.45 to 7.30pm Bunjil Place in Narre Warren, joined by special guest, Vinod Prasanna on the bansuri flute. It's a one night only immersive audio-visual experience, the performance blends electronica, cinematic 3D game worlds, generative AI, classical dance, and remixed archival footage, into a vivid cinematic journey.�
This week I present the last few segments of that interview as well as get to a backlog of Australian artists' music I have been wanting to play for a while. Please join me tomorrow morning from 0900 - 1100 am.

** Bunjil Place have kindly offered two double passes to give away for this fantastic show if you text into the studio between 9am and 11 am on 04 971 02000 with your contact details during the Big Note.

This mornings episode of The Big Note on 3MDR 97.1 FM sees us explore some classical influences in modern music but mostly, after our theory heavy show last week, we will chill. I do however touch on microtonality briefly, just to mix things up a bit. I also annoy some (hopefully only a few) people with my opinions/beliefs that love, understanding & acceptance is better for the world than division, hate & racism. I make NO apology for that!
