Ship’s Log: The Red Dirt BluesApril 2026 The thing about the desert is it doesn’t care how you feel about it. You can love it. You can hate it. You can write poems about its emptiness, its ancient silence, its big sky that makes you feel like a speck of dust on God’s workbench. The […]
A Transmission from Phnom Penh: Dialling in the Frequency of ’66 The dust of a thousand kilometres is finally settling. I’m back at the epicentre, back in Phnom Penh, after a wild, circuitous trek that feels less like a trip and more like a targeted excavation. From the sun-baked, spiritual silence of Central Australia’s red […]
Angkor Wat to Alice Springs – Cambodian rock’n’roll, pop art, and the raw sound of the Outback.
From Scotland to the Outback A Journey with The Cambodian Space Project’s “The Raft at Night” I. Red Earth, Ether Waves: The Desert ListensThe Theremin’s Call & The Painter’s Ghost: Tracing Fairweather’s Songline. The track unwound like a rusty ribbon west of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), bleeding into a landscape the colour of dried blood and […]
The desert gets in your blood. It starts as red dust on your boots in Yuendumu, maybe thirty-five years back, hearing the raw thump of bush bands under a vast sky. That grit never really leaves you.

It’s not a performance—it’s a tuning fork for the cosmic, shaking the walls Lomax warned us about.
From The Cambodian Space Project to The Green Mist The journey begins with a mist. Back in those early days, it was The Green Mist that formed the music and guided the ship. I was living in Tasmania, dreaming up sounds that could carry stories over the wild seas and into uncharted territory. The music […]
A Big Bang! Hey folks! I’m bringing you this little update from tiny outback Australian town of Lajamanu. This is one of the remotest places in Australia, and I’m writing from the edge of the vast Tanami Desert. I’ve been out here before, working with the amazing Warlpiri people on music, art and media but […]
Return to Planet Cambodia Now we’re safely home from touring… a rather epic tour it ’twas! Some great gigs along the way and it was a thrill to bring CSP 2024 to WOMADelaide, and other standout shows, not least Airey’s Inlet Festival, and a special fundraiser event for See Beyond Borders at Crystal Palace, in […]
Are you prepared to take the trip? This is gonna be a wild ride! It’s Garage Fest! Cambodia is here again… yep! Looser AND wilder than ever, this 4 or maybe 5 night pop-up festival is now in its 3rd year and this year, we’ve got such an awesome line-up we’re planning to take it […]
