I’ve just received great news about the multi-media piece, Contain, that I created with artist Olaf Bischoff last year. Not only did it receive a Merit Award at this year’s South African Sasol New Signatures competition, but the work has also been bought by the sponsor for their permanent collection.

The work features animated visuals of swallows in flight that are projected onto two landscape paintings by Bisschoff. I picked the first half of my soundtrack to the piece as the album opener for Chill Dynasty.

The work was entered for the prestigious South African Brett Kebble Art Awards in 2005 and was selected as a finalist. In a weird and traumatic twist of fate, the Awards were canceled following the murder of the patron, Brett Kebble, in September 2005.

Currently listening to: Bebel Gilberto – Tanto Tempo Remixes

My favorite track is definitely Mais Feliz (Monoaural Remix) – must hunt for more of Monoaural’s stuff!
