Jamin occupies discarded spaces and junkyards, salvaging notes and melding them with raw vibrations. He hammers and rends these forms till they melt together and become melodious entities. He then breaks them apart and lets the pieces fall through his fingers.

Story behind the song
The current, threatened situation that Tasmania's ancient old growth forests are facing... all because of that one, truly endearing trait of mankind, greed.
Lyrics
we’ve been playin’ up stream we’ve been rubbin’ stones just to watch them bleed we’ve been lightin’ fires up upon the sea we’ve been dancin’ to the mystery an’ i’m screamin - screamin’ for our dreams screamin’ for the trees yeah - get chopped down by thieves well i hate to dissapoint you, hate to dissapoint your concept of reality but this world that you’ve been carvin’ up man - she’s a living entity and you’ve been suckin’ the blood from your mother you’ve been choppin’ down all her mountains and trees you’ve been poisoning all her waters you’ve been takin’ what you should leave so don’t try to tell me your a good man, don’t try to tell me you believe in god don’t try to tell me about all the money - ‘cause in the end, the mother... she’s all you got an’ i’m screamin - screamin’ for our dreams screamin’ for the trees yeah - get chopped down by thieves watch them fall down watch them fall down down down watch them fall down watch them fall... don’t wipe shit over me yeah the people in government - they’re tryin’ to cover up the money that they’re making from the raping of this planet and i for one won’t stand for it - got a few billion backin’ it cause humanity depends you see, on environment & equality and the money that you make from trees won’t help you when you cannot breathe so point your guns, stack your bombs, build your weapons of mass destruction make your money and then run for cover you know you’re wanted for crimes against the mother this starts with you and me this starts with humanity we’re gonna set her free set her free i can’t stop talkin’ ‘bout love.
