"Tony Dupé... has fostered an almost peerless reputation for his organic approach, working with minimal resources to create music of astonishing quality and place"
Dan Rule, The Age
"For the Saddleback recordings and for the other artists who approach Tony to work with them on their albums, Tony takes a measured, methodical, almost forensic approach. Like a detective piecing together the answers to a mystery, Tony gets inside an artist’s head, works out what makes them tick, and how best to translate this to the final mix"
Danny Jumpertz, Cyclic Defrost
"a Downunder sound texturalist, taking the folk spirit out into earth and sky"
Mark Mordue, The Big Issue

Little Rog said to say he's missing Baldy real bad.... We had to have a candle lit ceremony last night... sad.. Baldy's probably off flirting with some Grand Piano.. Poor little Rog.....
In the spirit of it all, i've done some reading on Berlin. They have an abandoned theme park. Don't go there at night. They have a massive system of underground tunnels - German's are generally too 'no nonsense' to go in for tales of enduring hauntings... apparently their history is riddled with ghosts enough as it is and they feel no need to create more out of thin air. Anyhow - one train driver there didn't see ghosts, but two people screwing. at least according to my 'Fortean Times' magazine. Good read. Now the English on the other hand; they have at least three tube stations plagued by headless apparitions.
someone told me there was a headless woman in the mens room at the old cinema in bondi junction. they tore that down mid 90's.
