about

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you something I am rather excited about!
In 1999, I had the privilege and pleasure of collaborating with a talented group of musicians and performers on a unique live performance called, "Becoming Real!"

This show is based on one of my more elaborate dreams and is about my personal struggle with finding my true identity.
I was born as an intersex female with ovaries and ambiguous external genitalia. The doctors intervened surgically when I was an infant and assigned me as male. They got it wrong!
As a result, I spent the first thirty years of my life trying to live as a male! It was a living hell! In 2001, I had things surgically repaired and finally found my true identity.
This performance is about the battle I endured during this time and was conceived a couple of years before I finally started living as the REAL me! I was still "Becoming Real!"

This is a brand new audio master from the original live recordings made during a one off performance at Grainery Lane Theatre in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.

The performance is in four movements:
* The first part builds from an ambient soundscape into a fast paced EDM piece.
* The second part is a classically inspired piece featuring acoustic guitar and cello with an orchestral crescendo highlighted by pulsing sequenced drums and bass.
* The third part is a surreal improvisational segue and journey into the heart of this dream which builds to an intense finale. This is where the battle lines for my struggle to be free of the living hell I went through were drawn.
* The fourth part is a tribute to one of my biggest inspirations and one of my favourite groups, Tangerine Dream. It begins with solo cello and builds to a Berlin School style multi sequence, followed by an uplifting shift from a minor to major key.

about

Pulse Eternal Adelaide, Australia

Pulse Eternal is inspired by electronic music pioneers such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk as well as prog rock groups and artists such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Mike Oldfield and the later recordings of The Beatles.
Picture the pulsing lights of the Moog modular systems of Tangerine Dream in the mid 70s & you'll get a pretty solid idea of what inspires Pulse Eternal.
