“Midnight Rain” across Australia!
/
Last week AMRAP sent out 60 copies of “Midnight Rain” to radio stations across Australia. This mail-out is co-ordinated with CBAA and helps independent music artists get airplay and build a fan base, as well as create interest when touring in the area and so on. Already played on radio in Victoria and Queensland through the “AirIt” service, including on the influential inner Melbourne 3RRR “The Australian Mood” program hosted by Neil Rogers, this mail out should boost the exposure of Steve’s music to a broader audience through placing all 14 tracks in the hands of DJs rather than just the 3 tracks arranged through “AirIt”. As Neil Rogers said, this is “Just a beautiful album" (see the Reviews webpage), and Steve is thrilled AMRAP supported his CD so strongly. So listen in at 2RRR, or Braidwood (2BRW) or CoastFM (06.3) or Great Ocean Radio (3WAY FM) or Cairns FM (4CCR) or Radio Adelaide (SUV) or Katherine (8KTR) or KCR FM (6KCR) or even out on beautiful Lord Howe Island, or any one of the other 50+ stations hopefully in your area.

MIC REES FLOOD SERIES - CATARACT GORGE 2014
This painting was produced as part of a series whilst on a residency at Kings Bridge Cottage, Cataract Gorge, Launceston. The series involved painting on site at night in Cataract Gorge in the Winter, a deliberate Juxtapose to a previous series (Summer at night on the Mid North Coast of NSW). This painting was produced using an ipad and a painting app on site. The ipad allowed Mic to paint at night as the screen is illuminated. This also allowed Mic to introduce a whole new process with his work. The series explored the dark, wild & moody sights and sounds at night during a large downpour that flooded the Gorge. Mic then watched the Gorge transition over the weeks back to the gentle calm, as the waters subsided, and the Dolomite Cliffs towered and quietly reflected back on the water.
