Volume = Colour presented the first viewing of  a current work in progress titled 'Field' at Audio Actions, Gertrudes Brown Couch on Sat 8th November. The installation consisted of three two meter tall panels painted with one image then separated and illuminated with the flicker of decaying florescent lighting.

On the night the panels, along with a film of their making, created the visual backdrop to the Infinite Decimals' set.

This was the first view of what is a more ambitious work, scheduled for completion in second half of 2009.

Volume = Colour participated in the bi-annual Art Groupie Exhibition in Sydney with a Giclee Art print titled “The Birth Of man” alongside Steve Kilbey, Mick turner, Ben Ely etc. The exhibition ran from Monday 22 to Sunday 28th September 2008 @ The TAP Gallery Darlinghurst with Opening night performances by ALL INDIA RADIO + STEVE KILBEY.

A Volume = Colour track,”Passing Signs”, featured on a limited edition CD accompanying the exhibition with tracks by all the artists exhibiting.

Big thanks to all the folks at Art Groupie for inviting us to contribute to this wonderful  event and for all their excellent work – looking forward to the next one, in 2010!!

Volume = Colour's edition in the Long Division With Remainders project series -  a four track, free download Ep was released August 2008 - due out on CD as part of a box set in 2009.

For this series release, Volume = Colour employed the talented assistance of friends Cam Butler, Michael Munsun, Geosophy and Primitive Charlie to mix their music with tracks selected from the LDWR stable.

One of these tracks has been uploaded to our myspace profile, '9 (version 1) Passing Signs', Geosophy has uploaded another, 'Alpine Tea Ceremony' - these titles are superseded on the official release to '9 (Version 1)', '9 (Version 2)' etc.

Free download available at www.ldwr.net
