Frontal Globe
Frontal Globe is a spontaneous musical collaboration that brings together the talents of Sydney-based producer and keyboard legend Wayne Miller, e-percussionist (Gondwanaland) and world musicologist Ed Duquemin, and innovative vocalist/flautist Skye Staniford; to create a unique sound that can be loosely described as 'upbeat chill'.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In the wee hours of 2005, the three members of accidental juggernaut Frontal Globe have written and pre-produced a full length album of danceable goodness.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Shortly - our live set is in its embryonic stage. Frontal Globe's inaugural sonic mash-up n' meltdown will occur later this month.
