Plato on music

“Music... gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything”

Bio

Living in regional Australia led Jason Richardson to sample landscapes instead of records.

The FOR 100 YEARS album of 2012 remixed recordings of Leeton made using contact microphones to bring beats from playground equipment.

The Murrumbidgee River was the focus of the 2013 REIMAGINING album that accompanied an exhibition shown in Leeton and, in 2014, Wagga Wagga.

The WHILE and AND albums of 2013 and '14 collect recent work and show variety in technique and musicianship. Hear
