"Harvesting ritual music as might be scored by Captain Beefheart's 'Trout Mask Replica' period Magic Band... Perhaps 2022's most adventurous release so far."

Alan Clayson for The Beat magazine (June 2022)

"Full of the type of ambient, beautiful electronic compositions made popular by the likes of Brian Eno and The Grid, 'Chalk Flint Remains' would be a stunning listen by itself, though the layering of media adds a beautiful depth in contextualizing and the staging of the piece...

... Innovative Newcastle artist jjoseph brownn (takes) a multi-media, multi-disciplined approach to his new album...supporting his new music with various audio-visuals the listener can explore as a 3D landscape."

Damian Robinson for Narc magazine (May 2022)

"Beautiful!"

Faye MacCalman, 'Implode Explode' for CAMP Radio (May 2022)

I was thinking of homes. All the homes I had been in and what they meant to me. I was thinking about distance. Physical and emotional ones. I was thinking about transformation and metamorphosis and the point at which we decide to embark and the point at which the art of change becomes clear. And I was thinking about how all of these things intensify the ethereal or romantic or nostalgic attachment to places and people that raise the dirt and drudge to magical proportions. I was thinking about violence and fear. The many ways fear enables violence against those spaces, demands their destruction or ruins their safety. I was thinking about the unfamiliar. The call to adventure or the seeds of fear. And I was thinking about the slippery state a home can inhabit where at any moment it can slide into an unwelcome aspect, from familiar to uncanny and the states of revelation or fear that emerge. I was thinking of friends, the beautiful, joyful, funny, creative, insightful people who know all this too.

I would like to thank the following people for being there and doing the thing. Will Hammond for making sublime noises on “And So Amazed Them All” and putting up with my vague notes once again. Spot on. The members of Composer Club for listening and providing excellent feedback and ideas and mostly turning up on time. For anyone who had to put up with noise which includes, but isn’t limited to, my brother, the inhabitants of Unit EB, the inhabitants of 12 HPV, the inhabitants of 12a HPV, etc. Maria Ferrie for an amazing photography time and plenty of great insights and revelations into the nature of an image. Rachel Heavey for a stunning music video that transcends all we were taught in college. Finally, John Harries for finding a home, in every sense, for this to work and for always attempting to understand.
