Cam Butler (guitar) & Mark Dawson (drums) are The Coralinas
Cam Butler teamed up with renowned Australian drummer, Mark Dawson in mid 2007 to work on the recording of Cam’s album Dark Times (Symphony No. 2). A series of jam sessions followed from which was born The Coralinas. The Coralinas are a natural progression of Cam’s solo work for guitar and live looping now brought to life with one of Australia’s most respected drummers and percussionists.
Mark has a rich musical pedigree – Ed Kuepper’s drummer through the late 80’s and 90’s, he now plays with The Blackeyed Susans and J. B. Shilo as well as The Coralinas. He is a perfect foil for Cam’s inspirational guitar work, sometimes using mallets, his hands and percussion as a support to Cam’s guitar loops and grooves. Partially composed, partially improvised, dark and mesmeric, spontaneous and exciting, live and with an almost hypnotic feel, a dreamy album of this material has been recorded. Entitled Free Energy, the album was recorded in full valve and 2” tape glory over a number of sessions in late 2008 at Soundpark Studios in Northcote, Melbourne. It will be released in 2009.
Edited versions of the 20 min. long Solitude, and Hey, Future!, from Free Energy are up on the music player.
