I’m An Installation Now

Hello friends!

So, as of Boxing Day 2020 (remember 2020?) I am semi-permanently installed in the Museum of Old & New Art in Hobart, Tasmania with my own little studio, making music, performing, collaborating, drinking cups of tea, collaborating, watching cricket and generally being dumbstruck. We’ve entitled the project BEN SALTER IMPORT EXPORT which is a sorta dumb Neuromancer riff.

I would like to thank David & Kirsha, and all the amazing staff at Mona, for their patronage, generosity and hospitality. I have already recorded about 15 new compositions (works in progress) as well as many hours of live performance and improvisation. It’s an absolute dream. If you’re in Hobart, please come and visit. Just don’t expect me to be too chatty, I’m on the clock/in the zone. Mostly. Here are some photographs:

Okay stay tuned for more updates. And please join the mailing list!

An Update: The Newsletter: Verbatim.

Between Drinks

Hello my friends, how are you? Thanks for your patience. Thanks for your lack of patience. Where did all the time go? A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu .. never read it of course. Maybe I should. How many volumes? Leave it out gov. I don’t have any patience left for anything even while I have so much time to swim about in, these are the binary oppositions or little ironies that let us know we are alive and things are vibrating.

De Toute Façon

Anyway I have a few things to tell you about in a practical way, things that relate directly to my purported job of you know writing songs and performing them so I should just get right down to business so you can amend your calendars accordingly or whatever the hell it is you all do out there.

The Up And Comings

Tomorrow morning I will be appearing on the Instagram programme “Breakfast Songs” with Randy Feltface. His Instagram handle is @randyfeltface .. I guess maybe you could try clicking this link if you are on your phone www.instagram.com/randyfeltface  I am very excited about this. I think I’m on around 8.30, we’ll be discussing tea and breakfast and then I will be playing a song. It’s at 8.30am. Tune in! Here is a photo of Randy:

And here’s a screenshot of all his guests this week:
Nice to see old mates Bruggaz and Charm of Finches and Flanno on the line up also! I’m not sure who Siberian Tiger are but the name is great and I am sure they’re lovely.

The Reg Are My Destinwednesday

Then on Wednesday night I am returning to “Wednesdays on The Reg” again. This week I’ll be performing all of my second album “The Stars My Destination” plus some other stuff. It’s on YouTube. 8pm. If you’re a Patron you get in for free. Otherwise you can buy a ticket ($9.99!) at the Facebook event. I’ll send the link out on Wednesday evening. If all that seems too complicated you could also just deposit $10 in my bank account. bsb 923100 acc 6227 4492 and make sure you make some sort of note or message me to let me know.
