 “Orphan Train Project -
surprising twists and turns, I think they have got their pulse on the next
thing.” Listeners captivated by the complex pop structures and intricate
layers of Orphan Train Project often mistakenly assume they are listening to
a band. What they hear is a snapshot of a musical journey that I began
fifteen years ago in the hills above Adelaide, South Australia. First
records were made on almost busted tape decks on a bedroom floor. I have
carried the boxes of tapes with me always. Even now, they sit a meter to my
left as I am writing this. Years passed. I lived in different places. Tape
decks became 4 tracks which in turn became sequencers. The sounds have
changed with time, but my songs still tell the details of the things I have
seen, done and dreamed about. There is no angst or spoon fed resolutions,
just the details of what happened. I believe in music that is simultaneously
simple and complex, free from genre, innovative and distinctive. Musically,
Orphan Train Project worships at the alter of perfect pop, with elements of
minimalist electronica, folk, shoegazer and punk amongst the congregation.
Current influences include organic / electronic pioneers such as Pinback,
Folk Implosion, Arab Strap, Yo La Tengo and Four Tet.
