Editorial
Welcome to issue 15. The cover this time comes direct from Qatar in the Middle East - hence the title on the back. Bim Ricketson, our new art director is behind the lens and talks about his experiences in dusty and hot, oil rich Qatar whilst laying out the issue. This issue also features interviews with Sydney's Deepchild and Astronomy Class, Melbourne's Post and Winduptoys, Hobart's Matt Warren, Rebel MP from Lismore, and Shannon O'Neill guides us through his formative record experiences. On the international front we speak to Kid Koala, Nico Muhly and Rune Kristoffersen from Norwegian independent label Rune Grammofon. We have had to cut a stack of album reviews from this issue and those that missed out are not in the PDF but listed on the right.
If you haven't noticed, Cyclic Defrost has been running a small 'music club' a bit like a book club for the past 18 months. The music club is another extension of the magazine and aims to expose interested people to new music. To this end readers can subscribe to a 3 or 6 CD mail out and we will select music to send to you over a short period. If you can make it to Sydney then we also have a an occasional live performance and 'meet the artist' dinner. In the last year we have had live sets and discussions with Keith Fullerton Whitman, Deadbeat and Burnt Friedman, and some serious 'book club' style discussions. If this sounds like your thing check it out and get in touch.
Since the last issue we welcome on board a new sub-editor, Chris Downton, as well as host of new contributors. If you dig what you are reading and think you'd like to contribute by writing for us then make contact.
Otherwise, enjoy the issue and consider making a donation.
