Q01. How did you become interested or involved in writing music / DJing?:
I've always been interested in music. I think I had three piano lessons and that was enough, I hated it! I much preferred experimenting on my own with piano. My first experience with synths was with a Roland JX3P and an old analogue mono synth. The sounds amazed me, I would just sit and press buttons and twiddle knobs for hours. I've had a passion for computers since my introduction to them when I was about 10, so it was kind of natural to merge music and computing together.
Q02. How would you describe your style of writing music / musical policy?:
I always start an idea with beats. Getting those right by themselves is really important to me, beats have to be able to work on their own. I'll play with different patterns and juggle hits around until all they all sit well with each other. Using mathematical rules on beats can yield interesting results, experimentation with hit placement and velocity creates interesting rhythms that can kind of roll over each other.
Q03. Any favourite artists, influential DJs or must-have labels?:
It's difficult to pin one person down and and say 'They're my favourite artist'. I like most of the Reprazent stuff, Guidance Records, Wicked Beats Sound System, Luke Slater, Freq Nasty, LTJ Bukem, Blueboy, Photek, Thievery Corporation, Curtis Mayfield among heaps of others.
Q04. Want to name-drop any other peoples' names???:
Really helpful people musically? Lo-Key Fu and Jase From Outta Space - two good friends of mine. Paul Gamblin who dj's here in Perth has always been supportive, too. Big respect to him. Also Audio Cephlon, Smoulder, B-Jam, Sardi, Krank, Greg Packer, Echoic, Static, The Sirius Project, Elemental - all quality Perth producers as well as everyone else too numerous to mention.
Q05. Where can we see or listen to you playing?:
Every now and then I'll do a live set somewhere, but not that often. My most recent tracks can be heard or downloaded from www.mp3.com/scope1 which is my website. I get rotation on RTR-FM, a Perth community radio station which supports underground music.
Q06. What excites you now?:
Slower, clean cut breakbeat made from fresh, tight drum sounds and quite minimal in content. I don't know what it's called but it's really focused. Literally every sound has kind of like a function, there's nothing extraneous except for the occasional vocal going into a breakdown.
Q08. Which directions do you think your style of music will take in the future?:
The one thing that will be certain about dance music is that it will always be made for the dancefloor. It seems to be mostly accidents that end up spawning new sounds and genres, which is exciting because it means it can't be predicted. Who can predict the result of an accident? The constant flow of new equipment and technology will I think continue to play a part in how and what is made. Element

nullarbor - demoparty and game development competition

nullarbor is a combined demoparty and game development competition. It is an event designed to bring together a community of local programmers, designers, artists and musicians that have an interest in real-time computer graphics. This is a great opportunity to get an introduction to game and demo development, meet people from the Australian industry and form new collaborative relationships with local talent. Perth is the world's most remote large city. Australia's role in the demoscene is considered just as remote, and similarly Western Australia's role in game development is also very isolated. The source of Perth's physical remoteness, and an Australian icon of isolation is the nullarbor desert. Hence, this event was set up, to celebrate the talent base available within an isolated Australia and to demostrate to the world that Australian digital content creators are the best! nullarbor takes place on Thursday the 23rd of February 2006. It starts at 9:00 am and finishes at 9:00 pm. read more or visit http://www.notrees.org/newsletter.html for details

Lake Lustre

Raised in London and Perth, producer Joe A. Scerri is now an honorary citizen of the European electronic underground. His debut album Indecipherabilia was released on a tiny Swiss label called Abflug; he has played gigs in Austria, Germany and Swizterland; and his name crops up in numerous obscure international music websites and magazines. Now he's giving Australian audiophiles a taste of his Lake Lustre project. Scerri spent some time in Cuba collecting new samples for his sonic slice 'n' dice mix, which he will be revealing to Perth, Sydney and Melbourne audiences. Expect serene soundscapes and eccentric electronica from this self-described "multi-disciplined illusionist". Ramon Lobato, CitySearch, June 2005.
