Bastard Island

the weather is routinely 

unseasonable 

no reliable reports 

unpredictable 

set up the microphone 

time enough to prepare...

Bastard Island arrives as a collection of speculative fiction dispatches from spatio-temporally ambiguous elsewheres and elsewhens. These descriptive songs are fragmented and episodic crypto-narrative participant observations. They evoke disrupted temporal, meteorological, geographical, and seasonal conditions, and local and global social inertia. The songs inhabit ambient soundbeds redolent with spatial diffraction, signal refraction, small sounds, and distance communication.

A picnoleptic production in the English Asteroid series, written and recorded by Steven Ball, Summer 2018.

Pure Shit online Australian independent cinema

A fascinating compilation of 100 Australian online independent cinema works has just been published on the Pure Shit Australian cinema site run by Bill Mousoulis. In the 1990s section is a link to my 1991 super 8 film Harmonic Three Three. By coincidence, courtesy of nanolab, I now have a 4K resolution scan of the film which will be uploaded soon, the current online version was captured from a VHS copy of a lo-band Umatic telecine of the film, and is therefore nothing much more than a distant approximation of the film.
