M1xin x Australia Day



Enter into my head for 38mins, with this new mixtape I recorded last night in celebration of Australia Day that's up on my SoundCloud.

A broad mix of lengthy dutty dubstep. *Keep in mind this is not a fast mixtape, I even let some songs play out*

I was running way to many programs when I recorded it so there are a couple lag hiccups, as well as a lame voice-over on the Modestep track but I really like it so I used it anyway. It's also kind of where the mix falls apart, but whatever. And yes, I know there is 3 SBTRKT songs, but their just too good to leave out.

Stairwell Redux - Salt Print


I made a salt print on watercolour paper yesterday. It was my first time in a dark room other than loading and unloading film. I thought it was a very cool experience, my program is so commercial driven and digital that it was refreshing to do something tactile. As we used these timeless processes that haven't changed it brought you back to the art form of photography. It was like the next step in the creative process, rather than emailing a file to a printer with all these icc profiles, embedded colours and other restraints. Although you obviously don't get the detail and the colour range of a digital print with a salt print, there is an aspect of freedom to experiment and continue to build the image beyond shooting and processing a photograph.

I printed another one that turned out better, but it's just for me.
