Gardenia 03:52
Gardenia stains the night air and I'm standing in the laneway It's 3am I've been promised the stars will fall so I'm waiting for the showers to come I'm thinking about my friends and what, they all mean to me It's hard sometimes I'm waiting for the stars to fall I'm waiting for the sky to fall I'm waiting for the night to fall

I must of had a thousand kisses

about

‘Lo-fi Musings’ was recorded in an old Victorian Terrace in Enmore, Sydney on a Sunday in winter 2009.
A room was set up with harp, a loop pedal, delay pedal, mobile phone for samples, a microphone for vocals. Joe Cummins (Lines of Flight) was on trumpet and effects, Casey (Sex in Mexico) on bass loops and effects.
There was a mini-disc player to capture the magic they conjured up when playing together.
The songs form around lines and beats laid down on the harp. The bass plays the role of low end sub frequencies and the trumpet has a floating delayed movement. Heidi’s voice becomes like a narcotic, drawing you in, drawing you closer.
The balcony doors were open and the outside noises of planes flying overhead, cars driving past, people talking and birds creep in as layers to the soundscapes being made.
The space created in ‘Lo-fi Musings’ tells a story of dark city nights spent in bars where lovers remain entwined in a cycle of escaping into each other.
