Elliott on the decks at The BurdekinElliott on the decks at The Burdekin

Electronic whiz-kid James Elliott launched his new album Over Mountains, Through Rivers at The Burdekin Hotel on Friday night, 23rd Nov. to a small but appreciative audience. Elliott is a master of the decks, hammering away at buttons and dials to give a virtuoso live performance. I can't say I understood everything that was going on but I was enthralled.

Elliott was supported by a number of other guys; most impresive was Option Command who pushed the concept of empty space, creating a really interesting structure. A musician friend of mine joined me toward the latter portion of Elliott's set; he was sufficiently moved to comment that Stockhausen himself would be proud. Thanks heaps to the fellas who run Beats Home.
