In February 2009 I was fortunate to spend 3 weeks traveling in Iran (a.k.a Persia).
In those 3 weeks I got to explore Rasht, Tehran, Shiraz, Persepolis, Maybod, Yazd and along the way I met by some of the most friendly & welcoming people I have ever met.
Iran thank you very much for this incredible adventure!
Music: Iranian musician by the name of Homay (Saied Jafar-zadeh) – http://www.last.fm/music/Mastan%2B%2526%2BHomay
Barely 2 days after arriving in Sydney I found myself standing in awe of the cool sounds of Les Claypool live at the Enmore theatre. Big thanks to Liam for hooking me up with a ticket!
Mr Claypool and his band are on tour with their new album “Of Fungi And Foe”

Having wanted to see Primus for so long this was definitely the next best thing. He’s the man and I’d definitely agree in calling him the bext bass player in the world!
As well as all the tracks he played off “Of Fungi And Foe” tracks Les also dropped a couple of great Primus bombs and the crowd loved it.

Sometime back I was commissioned to write soundtrack music for two projects that promised to have quite a bit of very intense and unique imagery. One was for an interactive game about a meteor that hits Earth and brings intelligence to the mushrooms within the crash proximity and the other was about a three thousand pound wild boar that terrorizes the marijuana fields of Northern California. Obviously the makers of the subsequent Mushroom Men game and Pig Hunt film were very aware of my tastes and perspectives because the music oozed from me in such a natural way that I believe it came as much from my pores as it did my mind. This music became the foundation of the songs that fill this collection. With a few added tidbits and a bit of gypsy sauce, I inflict upon you… OF FUNGI AND FOE[3]
I have managed to cut down the material from the bike ride Nicholas and I did from Bangkok to Singapore.
When I can get to some great bandwidth I’ll upload the HD version.
On July 12th 2009 Nicholas Ward and Adam Teale left Bangkok Thailand and rode their bicycles south through Thailand and Malaysia, and after 2100km and nearly a month of riding, made it to Singapore
Here’s a little clip of some shots of Goreme, Turkey.
The 720/24p video from the LX3 looks pretty decent.
Looking forward to getting some interesting stuff when I hit Iran in a week!
happy new year everyone!
