Hello All

[Makrotulpa]

Hi there.
My name is Lloyd Barrett.
I'm a UK born, Australian bred sound artist located in Brisbane.
My background is community radio (Audiopollen) and sound art event curation (Small Black Box, Audiopollen). I've also done a bit of scoring for film, theatre and dance.
I am a fan of live semi-improvised performance and I've performed and worked with the Electrofringe, Other Film and Liquid Architecture festivals.
Currently i'm doing casual Music Technology lecturing and looking after an adventurous toddler. I also have a PhD on AV performance which i'll get back to... soon! :cantlook:

Found out about this site from Numerology forum. Looking for a more sharing productive community than KVR.
Hope this isn't over-sharing!

Welcome Lloyd. I hope your expectations are met!

Right on!

I knew my post on the Numerology forum might attract some people over. Based on your description (which wasn't over sharing BTW...) you are in the right company. People like yourself who love ambient / sound design / technology will definitely find a new home here. Really glad to have you on board!

Cheers to you and looking forward to hearing your music.

Yeah, everyone here is helpful and positive. Do we need to hire a few trolls to make this more like most other forums?

Of course, I am kidding...

Thanks all. Looking forward to exploring. I guess I'd hesitate to call my music ambient in the "mellow" sense of the word, it's maybe a bit too wiggly and prone to juxtaposition. But in the sense of implying the exploration of space i'd say it fits into the lineage of post-industrial ambient soundscapes for the most part.
Aside from this release on Room40 - and a few mixes and tracks on netlabels around the place - most of my music is accessible from the links in my signature.
I used the Secret Killer Of Names moniker for most of the 00's however i'm transitioning to Makrotulpa.

My rates are competitive :workingout:

I run a forum where I am the only member and have dozens of accounts where I troll myself. It can get brutal.
