Masonik Featured on ABC Radio National 's - Ausmusic Month - Special Broadcasts.

A collaborative video 'StreetART Ambient' by Jutta Pryor
with 'Inverted Chamber (Submerge Jazz)' by MASONIK.
An Ambient exploration of a submerged chamber. This is a live take with no over-dubbs or post editing'. Masonik.

As a collaborative attempt for the Hybrid project, I wanted to create an image stream in keeping with the spirit of 'ambient exploration' by Masonik, with minimal or no post editing.

Apart from a colour effect, the images are an ambient exploration of Hosier Lane in Melbourne on the 27/9 /2012, without further editing.

The video sequence is spontaneous, the images attract attention and are featured as I make my way along the maze of vibrant forms of graffiti art. There is image movement/vibration as I walk along. No zoom was used and all video/angles/close-ups were created in one continuous session on my iPhone.

Thanks to the known and unknown artists of Hosier Lane whose works appear in this video.

The Golden Apples of the Sun Radio ShowRTRFM- 30 September 2012 – Episode 86 – Perth
Presented by Claude Mono
"Episode 86 of the Golden Apples of the Sun is a special edition in an the occasional series we call ‘With Love from…’ and today’s show is extra special as we will not wander too far away from the place that many of us call home – Perth, Western Australia. So sit back relax and get into your head enjoying two hours of the best from Dullsville.
This edition focuses on the electronic and heavier psych sounds – there is a whole lot more yet to be touched for a sequel (just see the apologies below the playlist) – and wait there is more …there is also a more folky lo-fi acoustic Perth episode under construction…watch this space
Massive thanks to all the artists who sent stuff in and I have been to see live – brilliant music in this city is just too easy"
