Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

An acid-soaked moonlit cruise through a landscape of 60s exotica, Delia Derbyshire inspired sci-fi soundscapes, classic Bernard Herrmann, a pinch of John Zorn, and a twist of David Lynch. Welcome to the idiosyncratic aural tapestries of Christopher de Groot!

Incorporating mysterious sound bites and location sounds, Sailing Ships & Tarot Cards is an auditory journey that deftly blends mid-century exotica with flavours from the Australian bush and the noir-tinged landscapes of John Zorn and David Lynch. It's an engaging musical road-trip that takes the listener through a series of colourful, hghly textured landscapes of changing moods, a tropical moonlit fever-dream that leaves you breathless and eager to hear it again.

Composed, recorded and mixed by Christopher de Groot, mastered by Lachlan Carrick at Moose Mastering, Melbourne, design by UnkleFranc, printing by Studio Q.
