Dusty Fungus embodies the Synaesthetic nature of the human sensorium whilst complimenting the manifold opulence of experience and being.

Born in Cairns and now living in Brisbane, I have a deep seated passion for a variety of musical genres. I maintain an affiliation with ambiance, evolving soundscapes and waveforms that convey meaning through our senses. My intention is to contradict the rudiments of the western musical tradition, which has placed greater emphasis on the cerebral processing of musical sound, rather than the raw bodily reaction to sound per se .

My project, Dusty Fungus, nurtures our synaesthetic body and channels listeners through a range of aural environments that intend to stimulate unseen, unspeakable and unforgettable realms of experience through tickling the most primal areas of our neo-cortex. Furthermore, through the participation in a variety of dance styles ranging from Ballroom, New Vogue and Latin Dusty Fungus has cultivated a personal appreciation and love of “Body-Music”.

With a love for all soundwaves; infrasonic, audible, corrupted, mangled, dusty scratched vinyls, fungi infected CDs, digital, analogue, harsh, soft, cold, warm, sweet, sour, round, flat, big, small, dark, bright, boomy, tinny, broken, whole, fragmented, micro, macro, spicy, fried, overcooked, raw and all those in between. Dusty fungus pays homage to the vast array of human capabilities of sonic production and moreover our ability to discretely transduce and taste them accordingly.

Whilst some of my music may please, calm and tranquilize by providing an aural space for one to come to ones senses and make sense of ones reality ensemble that is your body. Other areas of my music will take all those sounds you never want to hear and vehemently bulldozer them up your anus, reverberate them around your hips before taking refuge in your neurons where they slowly digest the last giblets of what you claim to be sanity.

My initial connection to music production and knowledge was through the piano at the age of 9, which continued for the rest of my primary school years. As my musical taste matured and diversified with age I began playing electric guitar and programming Metal oriented beats in FL studio around the age of 15. After 3 years of guitar, little knowledge of the fret board due to countless hours of my time being spent tweaking FXs and well, basically spacing out with Feedback, Reverb, Delay and harmonics I realized I should move on from guitar and into the world of Synthesizers. This is where my desire for sonic landscapes flourished.

I am a self confessed gear addict and admit there isn't many other things in the world that please me more than tweaking knobs, pushing buttons, pulling apart electronic devices, watching LED lights blink and meters respond to various inputs. True love is beautiful isn't it?

As well as a fervor for all soundwaves and their benchmark, silence. I also have a passion for philosophy and the study of humans and in 2010 completed a Bachelor of Social Science with Honours in Anthropology. My thesis is entitled Synaesthetic Beats & Stomping Feet: An investigation of the human sensorium through an Acoustical and Biocultural analysis of Ritual Trance in the context of the Australia “Bush Doof” Dancefloor . If your interested in reading it simply email me and I'll send you a PDF copy. It was a necessity for me to tie Music, Dance, Ritual and Entheogens together in my academic life in order to embrace all my interests holistically and professionally.

I aim to continue my academic career in Anthropology and ethnomusicology with the concept of synaesthesia and “Body-Knowledge” as a backbone for both my future academic and music production endeavors
