TBA explores sonic city spaces through a gestural interface. In the current sociological climate, the city can be an alienating yet sonically rich space. Individuals potentially relate more closely to the city, the buildings and architecture than they do to the other inhabitants. However, the city is an ever-changing environment demolishing buildings, resurrecting monuments simultaneous moments of destruction and resurrection. Using footage of Newcastle as well as abstract and generative 3D systems, elements are combined and manipulated in real time using custom built applications developed with Quartz Composer and Max/MSP.

Broken Yellow have created a moving video clip for The Herd's version of the Redgum track "I was only 19" written by John Schumann (who's voice can be heard in the video clip also). The emotional song and video clip have been warmly received and war veterans could be seen in the crowd enjoying the re-release of the song at The Herd's recent gig at the Gaelic Club in Sydney.
