I research and post articles on social media sites with the aim of helping the anti-CSG movement gain followers and to disseminate information and make it available to the community about the environmental dangers, the chemicals used, the divisive effects on communities, health effects and political issues. I also support Byron Vision - a local community based group who works to preserve the quality of life in the Byron Shire and are proactive on disseminating information about local environmental issues.

PhD Thesis

Concepts of meta-art, or a synthesis of the arts, have inspired many historically important artists, including Wagner, Scriabin, Kandinsky, Cage, and the Bauhaus and Futurist artists. Such thinkers dreamed of combining the diverse means of traditional artistic expression into a total, transcending
art experience.

Such thinkers dreamed of combining the diverse means of traditional artistic expression into a total, transcending
art experience.
A meta-art machine was visualized by the German author Hermann Hesse in his Nobel prize-winning novel The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi). Hesse imagined a machine which has evolved to become the ultimate in art technology, a multidimensional machine/human interface, depicted (in a precomputer time) as a fantastic creative and conceptual abacus, employing all the cultural and scientific knowledge of the ages.
This once futuristic vision is becoming a reality, with the rapid evolution of the contemporary personal computer, which offers ever more sophisticated, multi-dimensional, multisensory art-making tools, within one machine. Wired to the Internet, this nascent meta-art machine can deliver multimedia art to the world.
The concept of a meta-art machine is used as a unifying theme in Volume 1 of this dissertation, to help focus a broad exploration of the processes and aesthetics of interactive digital multimedia art. Arts associated with each of the primary sense modalities, it is argued herein, communicate on a number of discrete channels. The contributing arts associated with each of these sensory channels of communication are discussed, offering a broad overview of the processes and unique aesthetics of the newly emerged, digital multimedia (meta-) artform.
Volume 2 is documentation to support and explain the works of digital art accompanying the theses : "Take Your Space Now" - an experimental digital animation of the paintings of Duane Radford with original music; and "The Machine" - and interactive CD exploring interactivity as an artform. -

In the mid 80s I composed the musical score for "Dreamtime People" - a theatrical production mounted as a tourist attraction to introduce the aboriginal dreamtime to international visitors. This was a high tech production with, for the time, cutting edge technological innovations, but it was also a culturally complex and challenging venture.

In the mid 80s I composed the musical score for "Dreamtime People" - a theatrical production mounted as a tourist attraction to introduce the aboriginal dreamtime to international visitors. This was a high tech production with, for the time, cutting edge technological innovations, but it was also a culturally complex and challenging venture. I documented the process of gaining cultural permissions, the process of constructing an authentic music score by recording spontaneous musical expression from the aboriginall participants and weaving these recordings and audio samples into a synthesised and electronic soundtrack, and I observed and analysed the personal and spiritual journey of the urban aboriginal participants and the social interactions surrounding the cultural issues.

"I Hear That Train a-Comin' : The Johnny Cash Story"

A music theatre production a journey through the life & songs of Johnny Cash, written by Barry Ferrier.
Featuring the contrasting voices of Barry “Dr. Baz” Ferrier and vivacious songstress Ilona Harker, this great new show is a musical tribute to the legendary country superstar Johnny Cash, his epic life story and love affair with partner June Carter, threaded through with a tongue in cheek look at Johnny Cash’s wild side and their stormy off stage and on stage relationship.

Featuring the contrasting voices of Barry “Dr. Baz” Ferrier and vivacious songstress Ilona Harker, this great new show is a musical tribute to the legendary country superstar Johnny Cash, his epic life story and love affair with partner June Carter, threaded through with a tongue in cheek look at Johnny Cash’s wild side and their stormy off stage and on stage relationship.
The show captures Johnny looking back on his rise from humble conditions as a child on a poor cotton farm soaking up gospel and country music, to tough times on work gangs, enlistment during the Korean war as a US airman, which got him to the honky tonks of Germany where he began to hone his characteristic style and began writing his unique songs, ...and on to his rise as a music sensation and a recording artist for the legendary Sun Records, alongside Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis.
The show strings together all Johnny Cash’s great hits and signature tunes as his fascinating larger-than-life story unfolds, and woven through this rich musical journey is a fascinating glimpse into the darker side of his life, his drug taking, outlaw image and the
Prison Concerts, and his epic redeeming love story with lifetime soulmate June Carter, a child star of the famous country music icons ‘the Carter Family’.
Reminiscing on the tough origins, their rise to fame, and Cash’s drug addiction, they laugh, they joke, they fight and they harmonise, as they bring so many great songs to life, accompanied by the rockabilly rhythm of the Tennesse Two (with lush backing vocals from Slim Pickens on Bass and Neil McCann on twangy Fender guitar).
It’s a polished and entertaining upbeat musical show to get you ee-haa-ing and your toes a tapping.Other creators -
