"Vision shifted. I could see the solar wind, see the charged particles and currents of plasma flowing and spiraling outward along the infinitely complex geometry of the heliosphere - red lines of twisting magnetic field coiling as if painted on the inner surfaces of an ever-shifting chambered nautilus, all this convoluted, multilayered, multicoloured writhing of plasma streams flowing back to a sun that no longer seemed a pale star but was the locus of millions of converging field lines, entire sheets of plasma being evicted at 400 kilometres a second and being drawn into these shapes by the pulsing magnetic fields in its north and south equators, i could see the violet streamers of the inward rushing magnetic lines, weaving and interlacing with the crimson and red of the outward-exploding sheets of field current, i could see the blue vortices of the heliospheric shock wave around the outer edges of the moons and comets cutting through plasma medium like ocean-going ships, and could see our gold wings interacting with this plasma and magnetic medium, catching photons like billions of filreflies in our nets, sail surfaces surging to the plasma currents, our silver bodies accelerating out along the great shimmering folds and spiral magnetic geometries of the heliosphere matrix..."

"…It’s like when your driving a car down a highway and you can see mountains in the distance. They appear blue, but are not. It’s only when you become closer to the object in question does it become far more rigid and unwavering in apearance; from the now distant blue it yeilds tremendous straight and craggy lines full of colour and texture. Then finally, when occupying most of your scope, you fail to notice all else…" Scienza Nuova
Its been a pretty wicked summer here in the great land of Oz. No need to go anywhere else, really. Full love and respect to all the awesome cats i've shared a laugh with. As we head out of summer, I've decided to make Matreiya Festival (last weekend) my last Australian gig for the year. Minus one or two that have been booked in advance for a while now. There is a huge tour being planned for O.S.08, so those dates will be listed here as soon as their confirmed, stay tooned...
UPDATE 22.02.08
Alot of people, especially in the asia pacific region have had trouble ordering the album, its been continually out of stock. So, if there are any people out there still wanting a fresh copy of Scienza Nuova, I now have copies of the album that can be ordered direct thru myself, or picked up from me at any gig you might see me at... Drop us a line!
UPDATE 26.011.07
Been a while since any kind of update on here. After alot of work in the studio and the subsequent touring hoo har, september and october i laid back somewhat and chilled... but now, its time to get the groove on again, back in the box!! Have uploaded a preview of the latest wombat track for the open records compilation 'festivus'... this will be a killer cd, on ya lads!!... release list updated somewhat, although i'm still struggling to remember some past releases, and some new ones [i know, memory is shot ;) ]
UPDATE 26.08.07
Decided it was time while i have a nice fast connection to upload Great Southern Land... Enjoi :)
UPDATE 15.07.07
The CD is sold out on saikosounds and psyshop for the meanwhile. It is still available on the iboga webshop. go to iboga.dk and click on the album cover.
UPDATE 07.07.07
OKAY a BIG thanks to all for the album feedback, its been super strong and lets hope the sales reflect that!! At the moment its sold out on Saiko, which was to be expected i'm told because it mostly serves the asia-pacific region. Go the Aussie Contingent! But on psyshop it is still available, and also should be at JBHIFI by now... Other interesting things happening... I'm re-working the new live set based around the album for the glade festival. re-working it for 5.1 surround sound!! i'm giving the funktion1 guys a couple of extra audio channels that they can sweep around a quad speaker setup. They have done this already on a massive scale for groups like Underworld, and apparently they were very happy with it!...
So, yeh wow, a bio in first person... how very odd. First up, lemme get one thing straight here; I've never tried to claim that i can somehow 'control' the weather. You wouldn't believe how much i get that and its just silly ridiculous!! We owe everything we are, have become, and will become to the light our G-type Star gives while we travel the long journey and circle it each and every year... The name read forward is, well, how it really is. Read backwards, is a state of mind. Most people i know have been there, to the land of Lions, Tigers and Bears.
But what really piques my curiosity is someday people like us will harness vast amounts of power, rivalling the suns inner furnace, and turn their gazes upward making the heavens tremble. This would be a day to behold. Whether the setting is physical in nature, or metaphysical, is up to you. The former requires all our concerted effort, while the latter has always been, induvidually, possible.
If, for the meantime, we can harness just a pinheads worth of that same energy that gave us all life, express it as we please, then we are on the right track and worthy of it... so, let there be light fukkers!
